PCB Engineer – Design Quality & Tooling

Groenlo, Netherlands

32 - 38 hrs

€ 3.000 - € 4.500

Hybrid

What are you going to do?

At Nedap, our R&D teams develop electronics for a wide range of products used in dairy farming, healthcare, retail and security. Behind every reliable product is a technical foundation that has to be right: PCB quality, component data, production data and well-structured design tools.

As PCB Engineer – Design Quality & Tooling, you help strengthen that foundation. You review PCB designs together with R&D engineers and help ensure that designs are technically sound, reliable to manufacture and supported by accurate component information. You will work with PCBs from 2 to 12 layers, including high-power, high-voltage, high-speed, RFID and HF applications.

You do not need to be an experienced PCB specialist. If you have worked on PCB design through education, an internship, work or your own projects, and you want to develop further in PCB quality and tooling, this role could be a strong fit.

Your responsibilities

• You assess PCB designs with R&D engineers and help identify quality or manufacturability risks early.
• You manage component libraries in systems such as PLM, Altium and SolidWorks.
• You help generate, check and store the right production data after a design is released.
• You help maintain and improve tools such as Altium and Pulsonix.
• You track component lifecycle information, availability, RoHS and REACH data.

Your team

You will join the PLM team, a central team that supports hardware development across Nedap. The team helps R&D engineers work with reliable data, clear processes and well-structured tools.

You will work closely with colleagues in electronics, PLM, CAD, R&D and the IT domain. This gives you a broad view of how ideas move from design to production, while learning from experienced engineers and gradually building your own expertise in PCB design quality and tooling.

Our offer

What's in it for you?

We have the ambition, and the opportunity to shape the future. And we need people with the drive to turn that into meaningful impact. You get the chance to contribute to something truly unique, alongside more than 1,000 driven and like-minded colleagues.

From day one, you help us fulfill our purpose: Technology for Life. The way you grow, take initiative, and deliver impact helps bring that purpose to life. We shape what’s next. Together.

• Compensation: matching your knowledge and experience. The range for this role is between €3,000 and €4,500 gross per month based on full-time employment of 38 hours.
• Financial benefits: a 13th month, a solid pension plan, profit sharing and the opportunity to become a Nedap shareholder.
• Space and trust: you coordinate your own working hours and vacation days in consultation with your colleagues to achieve a healthy work-life balance.
• Professional challenge: space to explore ideas, work on challenging projects and collaborate with more than 1,000 driven and like-minded colleagues.
• Development opportunities: you take the lead in your personal and professional growth within Nedap.

Required Skills

You enjoy electronics, and PCB design, but not as an engineer. Your impact lies in enabling others to make designs better, more reliable and easier to manufacture. You ask thoughtful questions, work accurately and like bringing structure to technical information.

You bring:

• a foundation in electrical engineering, electronics, embedded hardware, mechatronics or a similar technical field;
• experience with PCB design through education, internship, work or own projects;
• interest in quality, manufacturability, component data and tooling;
• good communication skills in Dutch and English;
• Experience with Altium, Pulsonix, PLM, SolidWorks, DFM, SMT/PCBA, component lifecycle, RoHS or REACH is a plus, not a hard requirement.

Good to know: You are available for 32 to 38 hours per week. You will be fulltime present at our Nedap Campus in Groenlo, because collaboration with R&D engineers and the PLM team is important in this role.

And beyond your experience, it is important to us that you identify with our culture and values and are eager to contribute to our purpose of creating Technology for Life.
