Product Industrialization Engineer

Initially this will be a project for 7 months, however, thanks to our collaboration with one of the Randstad companies, we can offer you the job security of a permanent contract. 

In this role, you have the opportunity to contribute to people’s health and wellbeing by enabling our customers to realize a successful market introduction of their innovative new products.
In a multi-disciplinary team effort and building on our broad and deep technological knowledge and experience, our main goal is to develop, realize, and operate robust industrial assembly processes. Our unique proposition is that we offer our services and state-of-the-art manufacturing capabilities throughout the whole innovation development cycle: technology development, concept investigations, engineering samples for verification or validation purposes, and volume manufacturing.

We do this in close collaboration with our customer’s product development teams, as we believe that a product and its manufacturing process are inseparable and need to be developed simultaneously. This helps us to live up to our commitment to our customers: “We accelerate your innovation”.
Our international customers range from small start-ups to well established industry leaders in the medical and other high-tech industries. The products we work on are typically volume produced smart micro devices (or components therefor), often requiring a challenging combination of micro-assembly technologies from the electronics, chip packaging and photonics industries. Typical examples are in- and on-body diagnostic medical devices, MEMS based sensors, and high-end PCBAs for analytical systems.
Do you share our passion for making innovation a true success and do you have the broad technical knowledge to be a sparring partner for our customers and operations teams? Can you manage challenging needs from both innovative start-ups and well-established key industry players and play an essential role in creating a competitive advantage and improved time-to-market for them? If you answered positively, you could be the new Product Industrialization Engineer we are looking for.
