Job description

Ready to turn innovative ideas into real-world products?

Are you an electronics engineer who enjoys solving complex technical challenges and bringing new ideas to life? Would you like to work on innovative technology with the potential to make a positive impact on human health?

We are looking for an enthusiastic Electronics Engineer to join an ambitious and fast-growing technology company in Amsterdam. This is an opportunity to take ownership of electronics development, work on exciting new concepts, and help transform groundbreaking ideas into functional prototypes and commercial products.

You’ll be part of a small, multidisciplinary team where creativity, technical expertise, and collaboration drive innovation.

What will you do?

As an Electronics Engineer, you’ll play a key role in developing new electronic systems and turning innovative concepts into working products.

Your responsibilities will include:

• From concept to prototype: Collaborate with product designers, product managers, and scientists to develop demonstrations, proof-of-concept devices, and proof-of-technology prototypes.
• Electronics development: Design, develop, and test electronic circuits and systems, translating ideas and technical requirements into practical solutions.
• Product industrialization: Help transition successful prototypes into minimum viable products and mass-production-ready designs, considering manufacturability, component sourcing, and production requirements.
• Technical collaboration: Work closely with external development and manufacturing partners, guiding their engineering teams to ensure the final products meet technical specifications and quality standards.
• Testing and validation: Build, troubleshoot, test, and validate electronic systems, identifying potential issues and implementing effective solutions.
• Innovation and intellectual property: Contribute to new technical developments, manufacturing improvements, and potentially patentable inventions.
• Teamwork and knowledge sharing: Collaborate with colleagues across disciplines, exchange ideas, and help solve challenging technical problems.

As part of a small and growing organization, you’ll have the opportunity to influence technical decisions and make a visible contribution to the development of new products.

Your ideal profile (nobody can fit 100% ;)):

Electronics and hardware development

• At least up to 5 years of relevant experience in electronics engineering, preferably in lighting, consumer electronics, or a related technology-driven industry.
• Strong knowledge of power electronics, control theory, and mixed-signal circuit design.
• Experience using simulation tools such as MATLAB/Simulink and SPICE to analyze electronic circuits and develop control algorithms.
• Experience with PCB design and layout tools such as Altium Designer or KiCad.

Embedded systems and integration

• Knowledge of optical technologies, including LEDs and lasers, as well as sensor technologies.
• Familiarity with wireless connectivity protocols and microcontroller peripherals.
• Experience developing embedded software for microcontroller-based applications.
• A solid understanding of hardware-software integration.

Prototyping, testing, and reliability

• Extensive hands-on experience in prototyping, testing, debugging, and validating electronic systems.
• Knowledge of signal integrity in mixed-signal PCB designs, including noise reduction, crosstalk prevention, and EMI considerations.
• Familiarity with design for manufacturability (DFM), product reliability, quality control, and testing procedures.
• Experience with pre-compliance testing and relevant standards or requirements, including CE, UL, FCC, EMI, wireless, and electrical safety.

Communication and mindset

• The ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to suppliers, business partners, external engineers, and design agencies.
• A proactive, curious, and flexible mindset.
• The ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary and international environment.
• A practical, problem-solving approach and a genuine interest in developing innovative technology.

You must be based in the Netherlands and have a valid work permit.

What can you expect?

You’ll join an ambitious technology company focused on developing innovative products and creating meaningful real-world impact.

Here’s what you can look forward to:

• Competitive salary: €66,000–€84,000 gross per year, depending on experience and based on full-time employment.
• Flexible working arrangements: A 32–40-hour working week, with three or four days per week at the Amsterdam office and Fridays working from home.
• An inspiring workplace: A modern office and laboratory environment at Amsterdam Science Park, with convenient public transport connections.
• A collaborative culture: Work alongside a growing, international team with diverse backgrounds and expertise.
• Professional development: Access to coaching and training to support your professional growth.
• Additional benefits: A strong pension plan, competitive secondary benefits, and short-term and long-term incentive schemes.
