• a Bachelor or Master degree in electrical engineering, with experience in system engineering or similar

• knowledge of product compliance and product safety (f.e. Low Voltage Directive/LVD)
• knowledge of safety regulations and standards relevant to battery systems such as PGS 37-1 with the associated analytical talents and attention to detail
• we consider knowledge of the principles of system engineering as a big plus
• you have excellent communication skills in both English and Dutch, both verbally as in writing
• a bit of a cliché, but work hard, play hard may be your motto ;-

What do we have to offer you?
First of all; a whole lot of energy and ambition! We also offer a job with room for personal input, new ideas and initiative. Because in a fast-growing company you can really make a difference! We offer, among other things:
