Are you hands-on and broadly interested in technology? Do you enjoy working on machines and contributing to design, and do you like working in an organization with committed and helpful colleagues? Then you are the prototype engineer we are looking for at our Groningen location.
Our companies each distinguish themselves in their own fields with unique expertise and skills. With these, they help clients to perform better and achieve more. Driven by a passion for technology, our companies can join forces. By sharing knowledge and collaborating, we make a greater societal impact.
Our business unit Demcon Industrial Systems (DIS) develops and realizes the most diverse projects for the (complex) machine building market. The projects range from partial development or a proof of principle setup to complete machines and total system solutions for our customers in machine building.
As a prototype engineer, you will help realize machines, modules, and measuring/testing setups within our projects. Your contribution begins early in the project by participating in the design process, for example, with regard to assembly. You have sufficient insight to create a working module or machine with minimal instruction. You will be given the freedom to propose improvements and implement them in consultation with your fellow (prototype) engineers.
You are involved in the entire process: from development, assembly, and integration to testing, delivery, and technical support, service, and maintenance. You also play an active role in the development process by building test setups, performing system tests, and documenting and feeding back findings for further design improvement.
You are well-versed in the fields of (precision) mechanics and/or electronics. Working with a CAD or Eplan model, production drawing, or schematic for assembly purposes comes naturally to you. Experience in creating or adapting a part through conventional turning or milling is a plus. Additionally, you enjoy contributing to solutions for prototypes and assembly tools. You are easily approachable for this.
You have a broad interest in technology, for example in mechatronics, mechanical engineering, or electrical engineering. You enjoy taking on development opportunities in your field. This can also be in the direction of engineering or preparation for series production. You take ownership of your workshop; it is clean and organized, and you readily take the freedom to set up your own structure. You have an eye for detail and work meticulously, but sometimes you just need to roll up your sleeves and get things done. Sometimes this is at the customer's site, but usually in our own prototype workshop. You enjoy collaborating with colleagues. They can count on you to be flexible and jump in with urgent requests.
At Demcon, we value a nice workplace. For example, we have good coffee and there is free fresh fruit waiting for you every week. There is also a lot of personal attention and we discourage overtime because we know how important home is.
In addition, you can count on:
