Mechanic Test Engineer
Quality Assurance
Catch bugs before things ship. Test our radar systems – and make sure they work perfectly out in the field.
As our Radar Mechanic Test Engineer, you are the person who tests our radar systems to make sure they work exactly like they should. You run manual and automated tests – both in our workshop and out in the field – to catch glitches before our systems go to customers. Working closely with Production, Engineering and Planning, you check that everything meets our quality standards. You report to the Head of Production, making you the final link in delivering tech our customers can trust.
What you'll do
Workshop and field testing: Run manual and automated tests on our radar systems to see how they perform. Check test data to make sure everything works right and give the official okay for products to ship.
Tracking bugs and teamwork: Log quality alerts whenever something does not work quite right. Work directly with the Production Team to get things fixed, and re-test the hardware and software after fixes are made.
Test improvements and automation: Run regression tests to make sure new software updates do not break old features. Spot areas where automated testing can save time and share those ideas with the team.
Giving feedback and fixing processes: Share clear feedback from your tests with our engineering crews so they can improve future builds. Work together across teams to build real reliability, not just tick boxes on a checklist.
What you bring
An MBO-4 degree in Engineering or a similar technical background.
1–3 years of experience working in a technical or high-tech environment.
Basic knowledge of quality control and standard product testing steps.
Experience finding errors in electronic systems using basic measuring tools.
Some practical experience working with Linux systems.
Fluency in English, while speaking a bit of Dutch is a nice bonus.
A sharp eye for detail and a structured way of working through tasks.
A proactive mindset and happy to travel 25% of the time for field tests.
N.B. Don't worry if you don't tick every box. Our mission is a journey, and there's plenty to learn along the way. If most of this fits, we'd love to hear from you.
