Systems Engineer
About the job
As a System Engineer, you will strengthen our team for the development of a robotic medical device. You are a technical specialist that is able to overview the whole system, while also having the ability to go into a high degree of technical detail. We are technology enthusiasts – we want to add a systems engineer to our hardware team who is equally passionate about working on a complex, completely new robotic system.

You will be responsible for one or more sub-systems. For these sub-systems you will be in the lead of the verifications and validations. In addition you will be responsible to prepare the sub-systems for series-production. You will be responsible for:
• Being owner of one or more sub-systems, defining and implementing design improvements
• Defining and execution of verifications at sub-system level and system level
• Working together with mechanical and assembly engineers to realize and verify our designs
• Collaborating with suppliers for outsourced components and sub-systems
• Guarding requirements making sure the device complies with all relevant standards
• Troubleshooting issues both at sub-system and system level

What we are looking for
Must have:
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree mechanical engineering, electrical engineering or similar background
• >5 years working experience in design & development mechatronic devices
• Experience with development of actuated (dynamic, moving) systems
Nice to have:
• Experience with the design of medical devices
• Experience in preparing devices for series-production.
• Experience with collaborating and managing external suppliers
• Experience in detailed design, using CAD software
• Experience in prototyping software (e.g. Python, Arduino)

Mechanical Engineer:
We are looking for a senior mechanical engineer with a passion for precision mechanics, in particular with the design of robotic systems. Together with our team of experienced mechanical and systems engineers, you will be responsible for the mechanical design of a medical device, including a 6 DOF robotic positioning system. You will be involved in all parts of the design and development process: design, fabrication, analysis and verification.

What you will bring
• BSc in Mechanical engineering or higher
• At least 4+ years of relevant working experience in designing high-tech devices
• Extensive CAD experience (preferably Solidworks)
• Experience with creating production drawings
• Fluent in English
