Working at VIBES.technology

VIBES.technology started 5 years ago as a spin-off from Delft University of Technology. We help the automotive industry reduce noise and vibrations in cars, creating better driving experiences. NVH is a relevant topic in particular for electric cars. We work with engineers at the innovation centers of BMW, Hyundai and Volvo - to name a few of our clients.

We help our clients by delivering consulting projects and through our unique software. From our early stage as a startup, VIBES.technology has grown considerably, and we are now looking to further expand our team.

Our products were designed to work with hardware and software from a number of parties: you will interact with the simulation packages from ANSYS, MSC Nastran and the data acquisition hardware from Müller-BBM, among others. All of our products are innovative, modern pieces of software: no mountains of technical debt to deal with or UIs from the 1980s. We’re talking modern and intuitive applications that were built from scratch using the latest frameworks and UI components.

You will work in a culture based on ‘freedom and responsibility’. That means you will enjoy a lot of freedom and flexibility – besides the responsibilities you will be given.

We are based in Europe’s best tech incubator, called Yes!Delft. That means you will get to enjoy the unique atmosphere and perks we share with >80 promising startups – such as foosball and table tennis tables, delicious lunches and completely unique surroundings. And COVID19 permitting - Friday afternoon drinks and parties!

We are quite proud of our offices, here at YES!Delft. We have a corner office with a panoramic view of Delft Technopolis and A13, with lots of 'green' both inside and outside of our offices.

Who are we looking for?

  • You are located in the Netherlands. Alternatively, you are located not far away from the Netherlands (e.g. EU) and you are willing to relocate.
  • We are looking for someone who communicates exceptionally well and will help the team succeed.
  • You have 4+ years of relevant working experience in product management; managing technical software products based on Business to Business licensing models.
