Job description

Some engineering roles focus on building products.

This one is about building solutions.

Every customer has different operational challenges to solve, and no two projects are ever the same.

One project might involve integrating specialist radar systems onto a THeMIS platform. The next could require combining existing Milrem technologies with entirely new third-party capabilities.

As our Senior Technical Lead, you'll turn customer commitments into engineering reality.

Working alongside Solution Architects, Project Managers and engineering teams across the business, you'll own the technical delivery of complex customer integrations—from early technical proposals through to successful delivery.

This is not a people management role.

You'll lead through technical expertise, systems thinking and influence.

You'll love it here if you:

• thrive in multidisciplinary engineering environments;

• enjoy solving a different engineering challenge every few months;

• connect software, electronics, mechanics and systems engineering into one coherent solution;

• bring people together around complex technical challenges.

Who we're looking for:

We're particularly interested in people who have built complex products in which software, electronics, and mechanics come together to create a complete system. Experience in defence is welcome but not essential; we're equally interested in candidates from robotics, aerospace, automotive, industrial automation and other multidisciplinary engineering environments.

The strongest candidates will have experience in one or more of the following areas:

• Systems Engineering

• Embedded Systems

• Robotics or Autonomous Systems

• Mechatronics

• Defence, Aerospace or Automotive

• Industrial Automation or Complex Machinery

• Complex hardware/software product development

• Technical leadership across multidisciplinary engineering teams

Whether you're currently a Technical Lead, Systems Architect, Integration Lead, Engineering Lead, or an experienced CTO looking to get closer to engineering again, we'd love to hear from you!

Why join us?

• Customer Integrations sits at the centre of some of Milrem's most technically challenging customer programmes.

• Unlike many technical leadership roles, your product changes every few months.

• One month you might be leading the technical delivery of a customer solution built around existing Milrem technologies. Next, you'll be bringing together new platforms, suppliers, and engineering teams to solve an entirely different operational challenge.

If you're a System Architect, Technical Lead or senior multidisciplinary engineer based in the Netherlands and looking for a role where you can take broader ownership of complete technical solutions, we'd love to hear from you.
