• Quality assurance and feedback: Document findings in Quality Alerts and execute corrective actions. Maintain accurate assembly records to feed insights back into engineering.

• NPI and process setup: Support new product introductions by preparing workstations and documentation. Set up assembly processes so new designs scale smoothly.

• Efficiency and tool maintenance: Conduct time studies to monitor and improve line efficiency. Maintain existing tools and fixtures to keep workstations ready.

• Continuous improvement and safety: Participate actively in 5S, standard work, and Kaizen initiatives. Follow ESD practices and safety regulations to keep everyone secure.

What you bring

• BA (MBO-4) or BSc degree in Engineering or a relevant technical field;

• 1 - 3 years of experience in high-tech manufacturing or assembly;

• Basic knowledge of electronics, mechatronics, PCBs, and electrical diagrams;

• Familiarity with measuring equipment like oscilloscopes and VNAs;

• Fluent English, both spoken and written;

• Meticulous attention to detail with a methodical approach to tasks;

• Proactive, hands‑on attitude with strong eagerness to learn;

• A true team player comfortable working across diverse backgrounds.

N.B. Don't worry if you don't tick every box. Our mission is a journey, and there's plenty to learn along the way. If most of this fits, we'd love to hear from you.

A Certificate of Conduct (VOG) and a background check are part of our screening process. We appreciate your understanding.

What we offer

• Working for a Great Place to Work certified company;

• Comprehensive pension plan;

• Commuting allowance;

• 30 days of paid holiday leave (with the possibility to buy 3 additional days);

• Opportunities to develop your skills even further through training and certifications;
