We are looking for an Electrical Production Engineer for our partner, Destinus, in Hengelo. You operate at the intersection of Engineering and the shop floor. You translate design intent into clear work instructions, robust test methods, and stable production processes, while feeding real-world production insights back into Design Engineering.
Wat kun je verwachten?  Imagine this – you’re standing at the very intersection where innovation meets reality. On one side, our engineers are designing cutting-edge UAV systems; on the other, production teams are assembling machines that will define the future of defense. As an Electrical Production Engineer, you are the technical backbone of the Electrical Production Department. You ensure that electrical systems and assemblies, such as wiring harnesses, PCB boards, avionics, and system-level integrations, are built and tested in a repeatable, reliable, and standards-compliant manner.
What You’ll Do  Production Engineering – Electrical   Translate electrical designs (schematics, wiring diagrams, harness drawings) into manufacturable production process.
Create and maintain
Electrical work instructions
Wiring and assembly instructions (harnesses, connectors, panels)
Production documentation and routings
Support production with
Electrical assembly activities
Integration of electrical systems into UAVs
First-time-Right builds
Electrical Testing & Validation   Define and implement electrical production tests, including
Continuity and insulation testing
Functional testing
Power-on checks and system-level tests
Define and validate test setups, equipment, and acceptance criteria
Ensure traceability of measurements and test results in compliance with aerospace quality standards (e.g. AS9100)
Quality, Reliability & Compliance   Ensure electrical assemblies comply with
Design requirements
Aerospace and military standards (e.g. IPC, MIL-STD, DO-160-Advantage)
Perform FMEAs, root cause analyses, and corrective actions for
Electrical failures
Production and test non-conformities
Work closely with Quality to improve process robustness and prevent recurring issues
Cross-functional Collaboration   Act as the point of contact for electrical topics toward
Design Engineering
Quality Assurance
Procurement (component selection, alternatives, obsolescence)
Production & Integration
Continuous Improvement   Initiate and drive process improvements within the Electrical Department
Standardize electrical assembly and test procedures
Capture and apply lessons learned to future builds
What You’ll Need   Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field.
2-5 Years of experience in a high-reliability production environment (aerospace, defense, automotive, or similar).
Strong knowledge of electrical schematics and wiring diagrams, wiring harnesses, connectors, and crimping techniques, electrical integration and troubleshooting.

Experience with electrical production and test environments.
Familiarity with IPC standards (IPC-A-610 / IPC-WHMA-A-620 is a plus).
Comfortable working on the production floor, while thinking in terms of processes and structure.
Able to communicate clearly with engineers and production operators.
Practical, structured, and solution-oriented.
Takes ownership of “their” electrical processes.
Who You Are  You are an engineer who wants to see tangible results from your work. You ensure that electrical systems are not only well designed, but also well built and well tested. You see deviations not as problems, but as opportunities to improve processes and quality.
