• Design multilayer flex circuit layouts for cryogenic applications
• Translate schematics and requirements into layouts: stack-ups, routing, grounding and mechanical constraints
• Optimize for signal integrity, thermal performance and scalability
• Create panelization and manufacturing documentation, run DRCs and help automate them
• Build and maintain a PDK library (layout level) compatible with industrial EDA tools
• Standardize design rules, build reusable libraries and templates, and support root cause investigations

What you bring

• 3+ years in high-tech or deep-tech (semiconductors, PCB manufacturing, consumer electronics or similar)
• BSc/MSc in EE, Electronics, Mechatronics, Applied Physics or a related field
• PCB or flex layout experience and knowledge of PCB/flex manufacturing constraints
• ECAD tools (Altium, Cadence Allegro, KiCad or similar)
• Able to read electrical schematics and mechanical drawings
• Python or scripting for design automation
• Fluent English (Dutch is a plus)

Bonus : HDI/flex, ADS/AWR, PDK building, SI/EMC, MCAD, PLM, or a background in cryogenics, RF/microwave, superconducting electronics or quantum.

What we offer

• €55,750 – €61,848 per year, including 8% holiday allowance
• 1-year contract with intention to extend, 36 hours per week
• CAO Metalektro, PME pension, 30 vacation days
• Travel reimbursement and two training days per year
