• Collaborate closely with Project Managers, Product Managers, Sales teams, and multidisciplinary engineering specialists
• Contribute to technical decisions and continuous improvement initiatives.

Qualifications

You bring:

• A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree (HBO/WO) in Mechanical Engineering, Applied Physics, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical discipline;
• Approximately 5–10 years of relevant engineering experience;
• Experience providing technical leadership or guiding engineering teams;
• Experience within a high-tech manufacturing, engineering, or product development environment;
• Experience reviewing mechanical designs, technical drawings, and engineering documentation;
• Experience with CAD software such as CATIA or similar tools;
• Knowledge of mechanical analysis tools such as ANSYS or comparable software is an advantage;
• Experience creating engineering estimates, effort calculations, and technical cost assessments;
• Strong communication skills in English (Dutch is a plus);
• A proactive, hands-on, and solution-oriented approach.

Experience within the aerospace or space industry is considered a strong advantage.

• A challenging technical leadership role within a high-tech engineering environment;
• Collaboration with highly skilled multidisciplinary teams;
• Exposure to innovative satellite and aerospace programmes;
• A 1-year deta-vast assignment with the intention of transitioning into a permanent position.
