Job description

About the role

Are you a skilled technician? At Thermopatch B.V., we are opening a brand‑new, unique position for a serious and meticulous mechatronics professional who wants to own the production process from start to finish.

In this role, you won't just be a cog in a machine - you will be the one building them. You will bridge the gap between fine‑tuned electronics and robust mechanical assembly. You will take loose components and turn them into fully operational, high‑quality heat seal machines. If you have a passion for technology, a steady hand for precise soldering, and the flexibility to pivot from programming to light logistics, this role offers the ultimate technical variety.

Key responsibilities

• End-to-End Machine Assembly: Build our signature heat seal machines completely from scratch, seamlessly integrating both mechanical and electronic components.
• Testing & Calibration: Run comprehensive diagnostic testing and calibrate the finished devices to ensure they meet our strict performance standards before shipment.
• PCB Manufacturing & Finishing: Perform precise component‑level work on printed circuit boards (PCBs), including soldering switches and displays, programming, and fine calibration.
• Spare Parts Production: Manufacture high‑quality spare parts to support our customers, such as precisely fitting connectors to heating elements.
• Logistics Collaboration: Maintain a smooth workflow by handling light warehouse duties, which include collecting manufactured products and preparing them for the logistics department.

Qualifications

• Technical Aptitude: Strong mechanical insight and a genuine curiosity about how things work. A background in Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, or a similar field is preferred.
• Soldering Expertise: Proven, hands‑on experience with PCB soldering, specifically with delicate components like switches and displays.
• Meticulous Mindset: A serious, accurate approach to your craft. You are someone who takes pride in the details and ensures every calibration is perfect.
• All‑Round Flexibility: An autonomous worker who thrives on variety and is equally happy programming a circuit board, building a machine frame, or helping out in the warehouse.
• Proximity: Currently residing in or within a reliable commuting distance of Almere.

What We Offer

Here’s a glimpse of the great benefits you can expect:

• Financial & Health Benefits: Benefit from our Pension Fund.
• Time Off & Flexibility: Enjoy Birth/Parental leave in accordance with Dutch labor law.
• Continuous Development: We invest in your growth with Individual Development Plans, regular Development Discussions, and customized training programs tailored to your needs.
• On‑Site Perks: Take advantage of free parking and a commuting allowance (80km per day by car) /public transport reimbursement.
• Community Engagement: Opportunities to participate in volunteer activities to support Non‑Profit Organizations.
