Senior Hardware Engineer

About the job

We are looking for an enthusiastic and capable hardware engineer who can take responsibility for the design, development and validation of electronic (sub)systems. You will be involved in product development and R&D projects, working primarily on advanced military communication and sensing solutions.

You will join a hardware engineering team consisting of approx. 5 engineers with a similar background. Within most projects, you will collaborate with colleagues from other disciplines, including digital design, embedded software and system engineering.

We are a small and dynamic high-tech company that focuses on product development for Defence and Security applications. Affinity with this application domain is essential. We value open communication, ownership, willingness to learn and grow, and—last but not least—technical expertise and skills.

Our remuneration package includes (among other benefits) 31 days of paid vacation per year, profit sharing, a pension plan, a company phone or phone allowance and company lunches.
