Data Engineer Groenlo • Nedap

At Nedap, data isn’t just pipelines; it’s the nervous system of our business. We believe in Technology for Life: creating technology that empowers people and makes a lasting impact. As a Data Engineer, you will be at the heart of this mission, building the digital backbone that makes AI decision making possible. You’ll design and optimize scalable data pipelines that turn raw information into instant intelligence, powering reliable BI reporting today and enabling future-focused use cases like AI-driven analytics.

You won’t do this alone. Working closely with architects and stakeholders, you’ll ensure best practices in architecture, governance, and performance. At the same time, your curiosity and creativity will drive experimentation with new technologies. Bold ideas are not just welcome here, they’re expected.

Example project

Imagine a project at Nedap where we build a unified data platform that empowers employees to discover insights on their own. With the help of data agents, colleagues can ask questions in plain language; such as “What is our revenue trend per customer?” or “How many subscriptions were canceled last month?”; and instantly receive reliable answers.

This way, people can experiment with ideas without technical barriers, make faster decisions, and explore new opportunities. While current reports and processes remain supported, we put innovation directly into the hands of the users.

• Design and optimize data pipelines for structured and unstructured sources;
• Apply modern data architecture patterns (e.g. medallion) and governance standards;
• Collaborate with your team on platform and tool choices;
• Safeguard data quality, integrity, and performance across all layers of the platform;
• Anticipate tomorrow’s use cases, enabling AI agents and conversational BI;
• Experiment with the latest features in Microsoft Fabric and translate them into practical solutions;
• Share your expertise with colleagues and help raise the maturity and impact of the whole team;
• Balance innovation with stability, making sure the platform serves both new and existing needs.

You are naturally curious and eager to explore new technologies. With a proactive, hands-on mindset, you embrace challenges and turn ideas into tangible results. You’re driven by continuous learning, always looking for opportunities to improve yourself and the team, and you take pride in making a real impact with your work.

• 3+ years of experience as a Data Engineer in similar projects;
• Strong skills in Python, SQL, and Spark;
• Experience with Microsoft Fabric, Synapse, or Databricks;
• Knowledge of data modelling and layered architecture;
• Ability to set best practices in CI/CD, automation, and governance;
• Curiosity to explore AI and MCP as new ways of working with data.
