Job summary

Emploive in Den Bosch develops high-density silicon-anode battery systems for drones and aviation. You will own the electronics chain from requirements to production handover, coordinating with mechanical, firmware, and manufacturing teams to ensure fit and certification readiness.

You will define electronics requirements, design BMS circuits and PCBs in Altium, prototype and solder boards, and validate under thermal cycling and electrical stress.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's in Electronics, Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
• 2–5 years of PCB design and hardware development experience.
• Product development lifecycle experience (V-model preferred).
• Hands-on lab experience with meters, scopes and soldering iron.
• Strong Altium Designer skills: schematics, layout, BOM management.
• Experience with power electronics or BMS in low-voltage systems.
• Familiar with CE, IEC, UN38.3 compliance.

Responsibilities

• Define electronics requirements from scratch with customers and stakeholders.
• Design and develop BMS circuits and PCBs; ensure power and thermal management.
• Prototype and solder boards; perform real-world validation tests.
• Collaborate with mechanical, firmware, and manufacturing teams.
• Document test results and design decisions for future engineers.

Job description

Our batteries fly. Literally.

Every cell pack that leaves Den Bosch ends up on a drone or an electric aircraft, tested to survive vibration, thermal extremes, and real operational conditions at altitude. We design and manufacture high-density silicon-anode battery systems delivering 450 Wh/kg and 30–100% more flight time than conventional alternatives. MoD funding secured, TU Delft and NLR as partners, and manufacturing entirely in-house. Now we build.

Why this role matters

Electronics is what makes energy usable. The BMS circuits, PCBs, and power distribution logic you design determine whether a drone completes its mission or doesn't. You own the electronics chain from first requirement to production handover. You'll work closely with our mechanical team, firmware team, and manufacturing floor, but the electronics stack is yours.

What you will own

• Define electronics requirements from scratch: work with customers and internal stakeholders to translate system-level needs into clear, testable specifications before a single schematic is drawn.
• Design and develop BMS circuits, PCBs, and electrical schematics in Altium Designer, covering power path, signal integrity, and thermal management.
• Prototype and solder boards yourself: power analyser, JTAG, and soldering iron are your daily instruments.
• Validate electronics under real conditions: thermal cycling, vibration, and electrical stress testing across the full operating range.
• Optimize for energy density, cell balancing, and power distribution across the pack.
• Ensure compliance with drone and aviation standards (CE, IEC, UN38.3), and own the documentation that gets a system certified.
• Work directly with mechanical, manufacturing, and firmware teams on system integration: your PCB must fit the enclosure, survive the vibration profile, and communicate with the firmware team.
• Document test results, specifications, and design decisions that future engineers can build on.

Requirements

• Bachelor's in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent field.
• 2–5 years of professional experience in PCB design and hardware development.
• Product development experience across the full lifecycle (concept, requirements, design, and test), ideally within a structured approach such as the V-model.
• A hands‑on mentality with a proven track record in the lab using a multimeter, oscilloscope, or soldering iron.
• Strong Altium Designer skills: schematics, layout, BOM management.
• Experience with power electronics or BMS design in low‑voltage systems.
• Familiarity with compliance standards: CE, IEC, UN38.3.

Nice to have

• Experience taking a product all the way into production.
• EMC testing background.
• Drone, UAV, or aerospace hardware background.

Interview process

• Intro call with Recruiter → Technical interview day with Hiring Manager + team (60 + 45 min, on‑site) → Offer.

What we offer

• 38 paid days off per year (25 vacation + 13 ADV via CAO Metaal & Techniek).
• 8% holiday allowance, travel reimbursement, and pension via PMT.
• Daily lunch provided by the company.
• Direct access to the full electronics chain: from first schematic to battery in the air.
• Flat team: your board‑level decisions reach production fast.
