Job summary

MANUS is seeking a Mechatronics Engineer for Production and PCB Design to keep data-glove production running and scale. You will design and test PCBs, build production tooling, and iterate components to prevent shortages as volumes grow.

The role requires hands-on PCB design experience, failure analysis, 3D CAD work, and basic scripting, with English used for technical discussions and a hybrid on-site/office setup in Geldrop.

Qualifications

• Several PCB designs in series production, at least a few hundred units.
• Experience analysing failures of electronic products.
• Simple mechanical design in 3D CAD for housings and fixtures.
• Basic scripting for test and production tooling.
• Technical discussions in English without Dutch requirement.

Responsibilities

• Be the first point of contact for technical issues from our in-house production.
• Analyse RMAs and failed boards, and turn recurring failures into improvements.
• Find and test drop-in replacement components, and design the PCB revisions they need.
• Build test set-ups, fixtures and production tooling from schematic to 3D-printed housing and test script.
• Design prototype boards for new sensors selected by our Senior Mechatronics Engineer.

Job description

Design PCBs, test tooling and fixes that keep our data-glove production running and scaling.

EUR 4,000 to 5,000 gross per month (full-time) · 32 to 40 hours · Geldrop, next to Eindhoven, hybrid (three office days at 40 hours) · Start as soon as possible

At MANUS, we develop and produce data gloves with electromagnetic (EMF) tracking for precise, drift-free hand and finger tracking, used in robotics, Physical AI, XR and motion capture. Our volumes are growing and components are getting scarce again. As our Mechatronics Engineer for Production and PCB Design, you are the hardware engineer who keeps production running and helps it scale.

What you will do

• Be the first point of contact for technical issues from our in-house production.
• Analyse RMAs and failed boards, and turn recurring failures into improvements.
• Find and test drop-in replacement components, and design the PCB revisions they need.
• Build test set-ups, fixtures and production tooling, from schematic to 3D-printed housing to test script.
• Design prototype boards for new sensors selected by our Senior Mechatronics Engineer.

After your first year, our test set-ups handle larger volumes reliably, faults are caught before the final test, and component shortages no longer stop production.

What we are looking for

• Several PCB designs of your own in series production, at least a few hundred units, designed for manufacturing and testing.
• Experience analysing failures of electronic products.
• Simple mechanical design in 3D CAD for housings and fixtures.
• Basic scripting for test and production tooling.
• Technical discussions in English without searching for words. Dutch is not required.

Altium, SolidWorks and 3D printing are a plus. If you design in another PCB package, that is fine.

What we offer

Flexible hours, 27 holiday days and 8% holiday allowance, a modern pension, a travel allowance, cooking together for lunch every Thursday, and development and production under one roof.
