Industrial Designer​/Electrical Engineer – Mechatronics & Prototyping

brehmergroup is a family-owned company headquartered in Germany, developing mechatronic and electronic products for demanding real-world applications across automotive, commercial vehicles, Industry 4.0, defense, and harsh-environment sectors.

We explore emerging technologies in IoT, sensing, logistics, smart systems, and interactive products, combining industrial design, electronics, mechanics, software, and rapid prototyping to turn ideas into working products.

To bring this innovation research to the Netherlands, brehmerinnovations was established as a dedicated, agile site of brehmergroup. Based in the Netherlands, it serves as a local hub for exploring new technologies and developing future-oriented solutions.

We are looking for a hands-on Industrial Designer / Electrical Engineer to join our Innovations team.

In this multidisciplinary role, you will help develop new mechatronic products and interactive HMI solutions - taking concepts from an initial idea through design, prototyping, testing, and demonstration.

You will work across disciplines and be involved in both the creative and technical aspects of product development. This is a practical role for someone who enjoys building things, experimenting with new technologies, solving technical challenges, and seeing ideas become real products.

The focus is on the following activities:

• Design and build next-generation mechatronic and HMI prototypes.
• Develop product concepts from initial idea to functional prototype.
• Integrate electronics, sensors, displays, actuators, mechanics, and software.
• Create and modify CAD models using 3D printing and other rapid-prototyping techniques
• Develop, test, and troubleshoot embedded systems and proof-of-concept electronics.
• Experiment with new technologies, test prototypes in real-world scenarios, and iteratively improve designs.
• Document and present designs and technical solutions, collaborating with engineers, designers, developers, and clients throughout the development process.

What we expect from you:

We are looking for someone with a broad technical interest and a strong desire to learn and create.

You may have a background in industrial design, electrical engineering, mechatronics, embedded systems, product development, or a related discipline.

You bring an affinity for:

• Electronics and electrical systems
• Embedded software and microcontrollers
• Sensors, displays, motors, and actuators
• Industrial and product design
• CAD and 3D modelling
• Prototyping, fabrication, and hands-on making
• Creative and analytical problem solving

Experience with technologies such as Arduino, ESP
32, Raspberry Pi, sensors, motors, displays, or PCB development is a strong advantage.

You do not need to be an expert in every area. What matters most is that you like making things
—experimenting, taking things apart, building prototypes, testing ideas, and figuring out how to make something actually work..

We value curiosity, initiative, practical problem solving, and the willingness to learn just as much as specific technical experience.

• The opportunity to work on innovative, multidisciplinary product-development projects.
• A hands-on role with significant freedom to explore and develop ideas.
• The chance to work at the intersection of industrial design, electronics, mechanics, and software.
• Direct involvement in projects from concept through prototype and client demonstration.
• A collaborative environment where curiosity and initiative are encouraged.
• Exposure to emerging technologies and challenging real-world applications.
