Mechatronic design engineer

Mechatronic design engineer

Are you a Higher Vocational engineer, graduated in mechanical engineering, mechatronics or industrial product designer and do you find a "Zest of Life" important outside of a good salary? Then we should definitely get acquainted! Our technical projects are fun, varied and challenging. Difficult too, but not so difficult that you can no longer follow the context.

With us you know what you are doing as an engineer, you make a difference in your own field and you therefore do the work for which you have become an engineer. You work on your own projects and soon sit down with the customer. Because we are involved in innovation and development, you learn every day!

You are involved every day in designing, developing and realizing projects for our customers, mostly in equipment and machine construction. The team in which you will work is small, but multidisciplinary. Our lines of communication are short and informal. You get plenty of room to develop further.
