Are you the kind of person who sees a production issue and immediately starts thinking of how to fix it—and make sure it never happens again?

We're looking for a hands-on technical expert to join our Production team and take the lead in diagnosing and resolving production challenges. In this role, you’ll work across teams to improve processes, support new product introductions, and drive continuous improvement initiatives that enhance the efficiency, reliability, and quality of our manufacturing operations.

• Keep clear records of assembly processes and troubleshooting steps, ensuring feedback is shared with Engineering and Quality teams.

• Support the introduction of new products by preparing production processes and aligning them with design requirements.

• Conduct time studies, develop tools and fixtures, and implement improvements to enhance safety, reduce waste, and optimize production workflows.

• Participate in or lead continuous improvement activities, including 5S, standard work, and Kaizen initiatives.

• Follow all safety and quality procedures, and perform inspections to ensure assembled systems meet required standards.

• A completed BA (MBO-4) or MSc degree in Engineering or a related technical field.

• 7+ years of experience in high-tech assembly environments, with a strong track record in applying 5S and Kaizen improvement methods.

• Solid knowledge of electronics, mechatronics, PCBs, electrical diagrams, and measuring tools such as oscilloscopes and VNAs.

• Hands-on experience with soldering, connecting electronic components, and building sub-assemblies.

• A forklift driver’s license is a plus.

• Fluent in both English and Dutch.

• Strong attention to detail and a structured, methodical way of working.

• A practical, hands-on mindset when driving improvement projects, with the ability to align and engage stakeholders.

• A collaborative team player who’s comfortable working independently and across diverse cultural backgrounds.
