Production Engineer

Production Engineer Are you driven by making things better, faster, and more reliable—every single day?
Do you enjoy solving complex problems, not just once, but for good?

We’re looking for a Production Engineer who thrives on improving processes and building bridges between departments. In this role, you’ll work closely with Engineering, Quality, R&D, and Operations to ensure our manufacturing processes are lean, scalable, and future-proof.

Your mission? Identify inefficiencies, eliminate waste, and implement smart solutions that drive quality and productivity—without compromising on safety.

Your Impact

• Analyze, improve, and standardize production workflows, ensuring repeatability and scalability.
  
  
• Act as the go-to troubleshooter for complex issues in production—mechanical, electrical, or software-related—and ensure long-term fixes are implemented.
  
  
• Collaborate closely with Engineering, R&D, and Quality to prepare for new product introductions and align production requirements with design intent.
  
  
• Translate lessons from the shop floor into clear work instructions, process documentation, and improvement roadmaps.
  
  
• Lead or participate in continuous improvement initiatives such as 5S, Kaizen, standard work, and process optimization.
  
  
• Conduct time studies, design jigs and fixtures, and apply lean tools to improve throughput and operator ergonomics.
  
  
• Ensure compliance with quality and safety standards through regular checks and proactive improvements.
  
  

What You Bring

• A BA (MBO-4) or MSc degree in Engineering or a related technical field.
  
  
• 7+ years of experience in a high-tech or precision manufacturing environment.
  
  
• Solid understanding of lean manufacturing principles and a track record of applying them (5S, Kaizen, etc.).
  
  
• Strong technical knowledge of mechatronics, electronics, PCBs, and the ability to read electrical diagrams.
  
  
• Hands-on skills in soldering, wiring, and sub-assembly work.
  
  
• Skilled in using diagnostic tools (oscilloscopes, VNAs, etc.) to analyze production problems.
  
  
• Fluent in English (Dutch is a plus).
  
  
• A proactive, improvement-driven mindset, with a structured way of working and strong attention to detail.
  
  
• A natural collaborator who can work across diverse departments and disciplines to get things done.
  
  

Depending on the role, a Certificate of Conduct (VOG) may be required before or during employment.
