Data Engineer

Data Engineer Opportunity at Nedap

What are you going to do?

As a Data Engineer, you work at the heart of our data platform. You develop future-proof solutions with efficient ETL processes and contribute to expanding our data architecture. You stay on top of technological developments and translate them into concrete improvements—from automation to implementing AI within our platform. At Nedap, we are building a data platform where we use smart technologies to make data accessible and actionable.

We focus on various methods of data distribution, including exploring where Natural Language interfaces can add value. Everything we do is aimed at making the most of available data—creating direct value for the organization. You collaborate closely with the IT Architect and Product Owner on decisions concerning data quality, architecture, and metadata management. Thanks to your work, teams such as Finance, Operations, Management, and HR can rely on trustworthy, well-structured information.

Example Project
You’ll help build a system that tracks products from production to end customer. To achieve this, you’ll develop data pipelines that process both structured and unstructured data and store it in Azure Data Lake. The system enables tracking at every stage, supports product lifecycle analysis, and helps detect customer issues early through data analysis and intelligent algorithms.

You’ll design scalable pipelines, monitor data quality, and advise on tools and architectures such as Synapse Analytics, Data Factory, and Databricks. In doing so, you turn raw data into insights that directly support better decision-making.

Your responsibilities

• Lead the technical development of our data platform together with the Data & BI team;
• Propose new solutions and technologies to make our platform smarter and more efficient;
• Safeguard data quality, integrity, and consistency using clear methodologies;
• Design and build scalable data pipelines for both structured and unstructured data;
• Optimize pipelines for performance and scalability;
• Demonstrate data capabilities to stakeholders—from dashboards to predictive applications;
• Translate business questions into concrete, future-ready technical solutions.

Your team

You’ll be part of the Data & BI team within Nedap’s IT department. The team includes BI developers, data engineers, and a Product Owner. Together, we develop data-driven solutions that make a real impact. There is room for experimentation, but we also take responsibility for delivering effective solutions. Within IT, you’ll collaborate with other teams in Office Automation and Business IT, such as infrastructure and the service desk. The Data & BI team is part of Business IT.

We work in a hybrid setup. You decide where and when you work, as long as it fits with the team and the assignment. Our office in Groenlo is available if you prefer to meet in person or work in a quiet setting.

Our offer

As a Data Engineer at Nedap, you will make a valuable contribution to our goal of making people happier and more successful in their professional lives. In addition to your salary, you are entitled to a thirteenth month, a good pension plan, and profit sharing with the possibility of becoming a Nedap shareholder. We are all about trust and autonomy. That is why you determine your own working hours and vacations. We also place great value on personal and professional growth. You will receive an extensive induction and we encourage you to keep developing.

Required experience and skills

You approach technical challenges with focus and deliver practical, well-considered solutions. You involve stakeholders throughout the entire process—from idea to implementation. With strong analytical skills, you translate complex problems into practical solutions. You enjoy working in a team that makes decisions together and shares responsibility.

What you bring:

• Academic working and thinking level, preferably in Business & IT, Computer Science, Data Science, or a related field;
• At least 5 years of experience as a Data Engineer in a dynamic environment;
• Experience with Azure and familiarity with cloud-based data technologies (such as Microsoft Fabric);
