Industry: High-tech / Mechatronics / Electrical Engineering
Employment type: Full-time
Seniority level: Mid-Senior level
Function: Electrical Design, Systems Architecture, Engineering

As an Lead Engineer, you will not only organize and lead electrical engineering activities but also actively contribute to the design and development of high-tech (opto-)mechatronic systems. You will work hands-on alongside the design engineers, contributing your expertise to detailed designs, calculations, and validations. Depending on the project, you may run work packages together with your team or take full ownership of electrical design activities yourself.

In this role, you will translate system and customer requirements into robust technical plans and guide the team through the full development lifecycle — from concept and design to validation and release – ensuring high quality, compliance, and innovative solutions.

Job Responsibilities

Technical leadership & hands-on design

  • Draw up and maintain technical plans (measurements, design requirements, schedules).
  • Translate customer and system requirements into detailed electrical designs and specifications.
  • Actively design and engineer electrical cabinets, wiring, harnesses, and assemblies, working hands-on alongside the design engineers.
  • Depending on the project, independently execute design work and manage associated activities.
  • Perform or coordinate detailed calculations, simulations, and modelling to dimension and verify designs.
  • Design and execute test methods and setups; validate compliance (e.g. CE, UL, SEMI, EMC, LVD, MD).
  • Investigate and resolve design deviations and cross-disciplinary technical issues.
  • Present innovations and improvement opportunities to internal and external stakeholders.

Project & team management

  • Organize and manage electrical engineering work packages, including capacity/resource planning (local and international teams).
  • Assign tasks, monitor progress, and take corrective actions if needed.
  • Ensure structured documentation of designs, tests, and technical decisions.
  • Report on progress, quality, risks, and issues to project stakeholders.
  • Supervise, train, and guide engineers, supporting both their technical and professional growth.

Continuous improvement

  • Advise customers on technical innovations and improvement opportunities.
  • Contribute to developing and refining work instructions, processes, and methods.
  • Ensure effective knowledge sharing and provide internal training where relevant.
  • Comply with environmental, safety, and regulatory requirements.

Job Requirements

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
  • At least 8 years of experience in electrical system design within high-tech / mechatronics environments.
  • Strong expertise in hands-on design, including cabinet design, EMC, system wiring, and integration.
  • Proven experience leading technical teams, including international collaboration.
  • Skilled in electrical compliance (CE, UL, SEMI, LVD, MD; EN60204, IEC 12100, ISO 13849).
  • Proficient with design tools (E3Series, Solid Edge, NX, TeamCenter).
  • Excellent communication, organizational, and leadership skills; capable of balancing hands-on work and team coordination.
  • Fluent in English (Dutch is a plus).
