About Trinamics

Trinamics is a well-known, specialized name in technical recruitment in the Netherlands — a familiar and trusted partner not only for candidates, but also for employers. We help technical candidates, from experienced specialists to promising talent, secure a permanent position with strong employers in the high-tech industry. We work on a secondment-to-permanent basis: you start on assignment through Trinamics, with the genuine prospect of a direct contract with the client afterwards. Throughout the assignment, your employment conditions mirror those of the client's own workforce, since the client sets these terms itself.

About our client

Our client is a development and engineering organization in the Eindhoven region and part of a large international industrial group. Together with leading customers in the semiconductor industry, (autonomous) robotics and precision positioning, they develop and build complex high-tech systems and modules — from first concept and prototype through to qualified end product. Development, engineering and production come together on one site, which means ideas move quickly from the drawing board to a working machine.

What you'll do

As Machine / Industrial Automation Engineer you design and implement control, coordination and automation solutions for complex mechatronic systems: high-performance machines and autonomous modules where precision, reliability and intelligent behaviour are decisive. You are the link between mechatronics and software, and you use model-based engineering to translate system concepts into validated, scalable implementations.

• Designing and optimizing control and automation logic for complex mechatronic systems.
• Developing sequencing, scheduling and state-based models for machine behaviour.
• Coordinating autonomous subsystems and safeguarding consistent operation at system level.
• Analyzing system network behaviour, communication flows and timing constraints.
• Implementing strategies for damage control, fault handling and safe recovery.
• Designing mode-switching behaviour for hybrid systems with multiple operating states.
• Defining and implementing calibration, performance monitoring and diagnostics (CPD) concepts that keep the system accurate, stable and serviceable.
• Building and validating dynamic and simulation models using model-based engineering.
• Working closely with mechanical, electrical and software teams, in a lead-engineering role in which you translate complex system behaviour into practical, scalable solutions.

What you bring

• A Master's or Bachelor's degree in Control Engineering, Mechatronics or a comparable technical discipline.
• At least 5 years of relevant work experience in a lead-engineering or senior engineering role.
• Experience with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and with software development, or clear affinity with it.
• Demonstrable knowledge of sequencing, scheduling and state modelling, coordination of autonomous systems, system network behaviour and communication, damage control and fault handling, and mode switching in hybrid systems.
• Proficiency with tools such as MATLAB/Simulink/Stateflow, Siemens NX, Enterprise Architect, UML Designer and Python scripting.
• Experience in a high-tech environment such as semiconductor equipment, (autonomous) robotics or precision positioning systems.
• Good command of English, both spoken and written.

What's on offer

• Employment conditions that are identical to those of the client's own employees, since the client sets these terms.
• Holiday days and ADV in accordance with the client's collective labour agreement.
• A full-time position with a genuine prospect of a direct contract with the client.
• Complex, one-of-a-kind machines for demanding customers, with real ownership over the automation architecture.
• A working environment where development, engineering and production are on one site, so you see the result of your work in hardware.

Please note: this role is not suitable for freelancers or self-employed contractors (zzp'ers).
