Job description

Troubleshoot production, refine assembly processes - and keep our high-tech radars built to perform.

As our Production Engineer, you own the technical quality and flow of our manufacturing line. You work side-by-side with Operations, Engineering, and Project Management - turning complex designs into standardized assembly steps, solving root-cause issues, and optimizing workstation layouts. You report to the Head of Production & Planning, and you're a big part of why our systems ship smoothly and perform reliably.

What you'll do

• Technical documentation and standardisation: Review technical documentation for clarity and manufacturability before assembly starts. Update work instructions regularly to ensure standardized, smooth manufacturing workflows.

• Root cause analysis and troubleshooting: Diagnose complex mechanical, electrical, and software issues during production. Document findings in Quality Alerts and drive preventative fixes with Engineering to stop repeat defects.

• Process optimization and workspace design: Conduct time studies and build tools or fixtures to reduce waste. Redesign workstations and layouts using 5S and Kaizen tools to lift safety and efficiency.

• New product introduction (NPI): Prepare production lines for new product launches alongside design teams. Ensure all assembly processes align with engineering specifications and quality standards.

• Documentation and feedback loops: Maintain detailed records of assembly steps, test results, and repairs. Feed real-time production insights back into engineering and quality systems to lift future designs.

What you bring

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

• 7+ years of experience in high-tech assembly roles, focusing on continuous improvement

• Strong practical grasp of 5S workplace organization and Kaizen methodologies

• Skilled in electronics, mechatronics, PCBs, electrical diagrams, and equipment like oscilloscopes or VNAs
