Product Engineer

At Quooker, you are the engine behind the improvement of our existing products. You initiate, analyse and implement technical changes, and translate challenges into smart, well-considered design modifications. In doing so, you work independently and take responsibility for finding the best solution. You always do this with an eye for functionality, performance, manufacturability, costs, quality, and compliance.

• Omdat jouw revolutionaire product ideeën ervoor zorgen we dit jaar een nieuwe Quooker kunnen introduceren.
• Door het maken van eigen schema’s en printplaten die passen in de Quooker.
• Met jouw eigenzinnige blik op het tekort aan grondstoffen.

Als Embedded Engineer Electronics richt je je op het ontwerpen en ontwikkelen van elektronica in de Quooker. Je verbetert de huidige Quooker producten en je onderzoekt nieuwe technieken en oplossingen voor toekomstige producten. Zelfstandig maak je robuuste schema’s voor elektronische schakelingen. In multidisciplinaire productontwikkelingstrajecten werk je samen met collega’s om slimme oplossingen te bedenken, ieder vanuit eigen kennis, ervaring en inzicht.

You’re perfect for Quooker because you…

• work in a highly structured and analytical way
• do not let go until things are truly finished
• collaborate effectively across teams and clearly communicate technical changes

You oversee the impact of changes on the entire process, from product and production process to supply chain and service. You ensure that everything is correct before it is implemented. Working closely with teams such as Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain and Service, you bridge disciplines and ensure that everyone is aligned with the chosen solution.

In addition, you delve into production and field issues and tackle them at their core. You analyze, calculate, and translate issues into structural improvements in the design. In doing so, you do not opt for the easiest route, but for the solution that genuinely improves the product.

You design and optimize components and assemblies, manage technical specifications in the PLM system and ensure that all changes are recorded accurately and completely.
