Manufacturing Engineer

We are seeking a Manufacturing Engineer to design, optimize, and scale the production processes of our complex technologies. You will work closely with R&D, Production, Quality, and suppliers. Your role is to design, develop and implement systems and processes that enable our production mechanics to build and assemble our products.

This is an engineering role for someone with a strong mechanical background who enjoys scaling production from prototype to repeatable and scalable production. The ideal candidate bridges advanced scientific innovation with practical manufacturing solutions to enable the production of our high-tech products. This role requires technical expertise, process-oriented thinking, and hands-on mentality.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, implement, and optimize manufacturing processes for the manufacturing of high-precision, high-complexity products
• Collaborate with R&D, design, and quality teams to translate prototypes into scalable production solutions.
• Develop process documentation, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and training materials for production staff.
• Define tooling, fixtures and production equipment.
• Establish process controls and manufacturing acceptance criteria together with Quality.
• Perform process capability analysis.
• Support/execute manufacturing trials and pilot builds.
• Resolve manufacturing-process failures through structured root-cause analysis.
• Demonstrate that the manufacturing process is stable, repeatable and capable before production release.
• Support process validation with Quality/Process Validation Engineering.
• Conduct process capability studies, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Integrate different manufacturing techniques to improve efficiency and yield.
• Prepare and release the manufacturing process for transfer to Production, including validated process parameters, tooling and equipment, work instructions, quality controls, training and demonstrated process capability.
• Support Production during ramp-up and resolve manufacturing-process issues until the process reaches agreed stability and capability targets.
• Define and track key manufacturing KPIs, working to achieve cost, throughput, and quality targets.

Why Join Us:

• Join one of Europe’s most promising deep-tech scale-ups
• Dynamic, collaborative, and inclusive work environment in Amsterdam.
• Enjoy regular team activities and company events
• Fresh team lunches provided 5 times / week
