You translate technical challenges into smart, scalable systems, combining hardware and software into robust solutions used daily on the production floor.

• Design and develop innovative hardware and software solutions
• Optimize existing machines and processes to improve performance and reliability
• Coordinate with internal stakeholders (engineering, production, maintenance)
• Ensure smooth implementation and support adoption on the shop floor
• Contribute to continuous improvement and innovation initiatives

Why this role stands out

• Real ownership of projects—not just a supporting role
• Strong combination of technical depth and project responsibility
• Direct impact on production and visible results of your work
• Clear growth opportunities towards senior expert or project leadership

Your profile

• Preferably 3–5 years of experience in automation, engineering, or a technical project environment
• Strong interest in integrating hardware and software
• Hands‑on, analytical, and solution-oriented
• Able to take ownership and drive projects forward
• Good communicator and team player
• Fluent in Dutch and English

What you can expect

At Agfa, you’ll find the space to grow—technically and professionally.

• A high‑tech production environment
• Autonomy and trust to drive your own projects
• Opportunities to deepen your technical expertise or grow into leadership
• Collaboration with experienced and passionate colleagues
• An intresting work-life balance
• Competitive salary package with attractive extra‑legal benefits
