Hardware Engineer Senior in Hegelsom, Nederland

Will you help shape the technical direction of our next generation of products?

As a Senior Hardware Engineer, you combine deep technical expertise with a drive to push progress forward. You translate complex technical challenges into smart, robust, and future-proof hardware solutions, taking ownership of the entire process—from concept and architecture to realization and validation.

You look beyond your own individual designs. You make and justify technical choices, explore emerging technologies, and translate them into concrete opportunities for our future products. Drawing on your experience, you bring structure to complex issues and guide the team toward clear technical decisions.

Furthermore, in your role as a senior, you play a key part in the development of the Hardware Engineering team. You actively share your knowledge, challenge colleagues on technical matters, and coach engineers at various levels of experience. You are not just someone who can solve a technical problem; you are, above all, someone who helps others become better engineers.

These are your responsibilities:

• Developing hardware and hardware-related firmware;

• Creating and maintaining production/test equipment;

• Building prototypes, conducting tests, and preparing reports;

• Overseeing the pre-production (pilot) run and initial production run(s);

• Implementing product improvements where necessary.

What are we looking for?

• A bachelor’s degree (HBO) in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field;

• At least 5 years of experience in a similar role;

• Proficiency with Altium and STM32 microcontrollers;

• Experience with product certification (including EMC), production tooling, and hardware test automation.

What we offer you:

• A direct employment relationship with Hotraco, with the prospect of a permanent contract;

• A starting salary between €4,316 and €5,092 gross, based on the collective labor agreement (CAO) for the metalworking industry;

• 25 vacation days plus 13 ADV (shortened working hours) days, based on full-time employment;

• An excellent pension scheme;

• A travel allowance (€0.25 per kilometer).
