Senior Hardware Engineer (Dutch speaking)

We are a fast-growing, innovative tech scale-up on a mission to empower everyday people to take control of their energy consumption, cut household costs, and shrink their carbon footprint. From smart energy meters to display units and plug-in battery systems, we design, engineer, and buildour entire hardware ecosystem in-house.

We are looking for aSenior Hardware Engineerwho wants to take full technical ownership of product architecture—from concept to high-volume production—and build reliable hardware used by over1,000,000 homes across Europe.

If you thrive on complete technical responsibility, pragmatism, and building tangible IoT products that make a real-world environmental impact, this is your place to shine.

As Senior Hardware Engineer, you hold end-to-end responsibility for the hardware core of our smart energy product lines. You won't just follow specs—you will define architectures, make critical design choices, and set engineering quality standards across the team.

• Architecture & PCB Design:Define hardware architecture for new IoT devices. Design schematics and multi-layer PCBs, select components, and strike the right balance between performance, unit cost, and supply chain availability.
• Embedded & RF Optimization:Develop hardware around modern embedded microcontrollers (e.g., Espressif/ESP32). Optimize the interplay between RF performance, antenna choice, power management, and firmware.
• Concept to Mass Production:Drive products through NPI to full-scale manufacturing. Work closely with contract manufacturers (CMs/ODMs) on DFM/DFT, yield optimization, test fixture development, and quality assurance.
• Process & Quality Standards:Professionalize the hardware development lifecycle—establishing clear version control, documentation standards, test/validation plans, and smooth integration with firmware lifecycles.
• Compliance & Certification:Lead regulatory compliance (CE, Radio Equipment Directive / RED) and act as the primary technical interface for test labs.
• Technical Leadership & Mentorship:Guide and coach team members, review technical designs, and raise the bar for hardware engineering across the company.

You take pride and ownership in your designs. You naturally think ahead:How will this scale in production? How does this interact with firmware? Will this design hold up in 5 years?

• Education:Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems, or a related field.
• Experience:5+ years of hands-on hardware development experience, ideally in consumer electronics or high-volume IoT devices.
• Embedded Hardware Expertise:Proven expertise with embedded CPUs/SoCs and working closely with firmware lifecycle teams.
• RF & Compliance Knowledge:Practical experience resolving EMI/EMC challenges and navigating CE / RED compliance.
• Lifecycle Ownership:Experience taking products from initial whiteboard design through DFM/DFT to mass manufacturing with external ODMs/CMs.
• Mindset:Pragmatic, detail-oriented, with strong technical conviction and the communication skills to mentor others.

Here, you won't encounter endless corporate bureaucracy. We build fast, test directly, and give engineers complete technical freedom and ownership over their products.

• Competitive Salary:€4,500 - €5,500 gross per month (based on experience).
• Profit Sharing:Direct share in company success and profit-sharing schemes.
• Work Gear:Top-tier MacBook or Windows laptop + free smart home hardware for home testing and usage.
• Vacation & Savings:25 days paid leave (full-time basis), 8% holiday allowance, option to purchase extra leave days, and a company-contributed pension plan.
• Commuter Support:Travel allowance starting from 10 km.
• Great Office Culture:Daily company lunch, fresh fruit, healthy snacks, and monthly catered team lunches.
• Team Events:Quarterly social/sports events, monthly Friday drinks, summer BBQs, and annual celebrations.

In our R&D center, hardware, embedded software, backend, and app teams work together under one roof. We strongly believephysical collaboration is essential for hardware development—enabling rapid debugging, immediate hardware testing, and short feedback loops.
