Electronics engineer

Our batteries fly. Literally. Every cell pack that leaves Den Bosch ends up on a drone or an electric aircraft, tested to survive vibration, thermal extremes, and real operational conditions at altitude. We design and manufacture high-density silicon-anode battery systems delivering 450 Wh/kg and 30–100% more flight time than conventional alternatives. Post-MoD funding secured, with TU Delft and NLR as partners, and manufacturing entirely in-house. Now we build.

Why this role matters Electronics is the system that makes energy usable. The BMS circuits, PCBs, and power distribution logic you design determine whether a drone completes its mission or doesn't. You own the electronics chain from first requirement to production handover. We have a mechanical team, a firmware team, and a manufacturing floor. You will work closely with all of them. But the electronics stack is yours.

What You Will Own Define electronics requirements from scratch: work with customers or internal stakeholders to translate system-level needs into clear, testable specifications before a single schematic is drawn

• Design and develop BMS circuits, PCBs, and electrical schematics in Altium Designer: power path, signal integrity, and thermal management
• Prototype and solder boards yourself: scope, power analyser, JTAG, and soldering iron are your primary instruments
• Validate electronics under real conditions: thermal cycling, vibration, and electrical stress testing across the full operating range
• Optimize for energy density, cell balancing, and power distribution across the pack
• Ensure compliance with drone and aviation standards (CE, IEC, UN38.3): own the documentation that gets a system certified
• Work directly with mechanical, manufacturing, and firmware teams on system integration: your PCB must fit the enclosure, survive the vibration profile, and communicate with the firmware
• Document test results, specifications, and design decisions that future engineers can build on

Job Requirements

• Bachelor's in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
• 5+ years of PCB design and hardware development in a production environment
• Deep Altium Designer skills: schematics, layout, BOM management
• Experience with power electronics or BMS design in low-voltage systems
• Familiarity with compliance standards: CE, IEC, UN38.3

Nice to have

• Embedded systems experience, EMC testing background, drone/UAV/aerospace hardware background

Interview process

• Intro call (30 min)
• Interview panel with the engineering team (60–90 min)
• Offer

What we offer

• 38 paid days off per year (25 vacation + 13 ADV via CAO Metaal & Techniek)
• 8% holiday allowance, travel reimbursement, and pension via PMT
• Daily lunch provided by the company
• Direct access to the full electronics chain: from first schematic to battery in the air
• Flat team: your board-level decisions reach production fast
