Electronics Engineer

Location: 's-Hertogenbosch

Job Description
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  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 software 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 software 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.

Hands‑on: you debug with a scope, not a ticket.

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.
