high-tech setting – testing and repairing – growth opportunities
 (Location Veendam)

Do you like a big research job in the electronic and technical field? Does it appeal to you to work in a high-tech environment and make your contribution by detecting and solving hardware problems? Then Variass is looking for you!

Your role
The role of Hardware Engineer can be filled in different ways, depending on your experience and ambitions.

Programming and testing
Every day we produce hundreds of PCBs, where part of the process is robotized and runs in series. The PCBs are programmed, configured and tested according to the test procedure that is set up by the customer. Some tests are performed manually, while others are done in series using specially developed test cabinets. These test cabinets are usually designed by ourselves, but we also use test cabinets that are supplied by the customer.

To repair
When the test procedure shows that a PCB is not working properly, it ends up in the repair department. As a Hardware Engineer, you will then get to work. First, you will visually examine the PCB. Sometimes the problem is immediately visible, after which you can solve it by replacing components or attaching them properly, using the most modern techniques and equipment.

If the problem is not immediately visible, you will perform measurements and analyze. For this you will use a multimeter, oscilloscope, soldering iron, microscope and a power supply unit. This way you identify the problem and repair it. The number of PCBs that you repair daily varies from a few to dozens.

Common problems have been identified before, which means that extensive data is available. Sometimes this data provides the solution right away, so that you don't always have to do extensive research.

Registration and process improvement
You register all detected errors in the system, including the error code, solution and repair. When the same error occurs more often, you analyze the cause and think of ways to prevent recurrence. You give these findings back to engineering, so that we can jointly implement process improvements. In this way, you actively contribute to process improvement within Variass.

Career Opportunities
You will have the opportunity to grow in your role as Hardware Engineer. This can be done, for example, by developing test cabinets and test plans, in which you work closely with our customers' developers. The growth to R&D engineer or process engineer is also a possibility.

In short, at Variass you create a varied and challenging career, with plenty of room for personal development and growth.

Who are you?
You like to work practically while simultaneously using your analytical and solution-oriented capacities. Accurate and structured work with details suits you well. Working in an environment where innovation and development, both in terms of technology and people, is palpable everywhere, appeals to you. You are therefore eager to learn and absorb new information quickly.

You have good communication skills and enjoy working with others, for example by using the knowledge of colleagues when you can't figure it out yourself. At the same time, you also enjoy working independently, are proactive and a self-starter. Above all, you are a pleasant colleague who thrives in a professional, high-tech environment.

What are you bringing?

  • You have a technical educational background, preferably in electronics.
  • You understand electronic schematics.
  • Good communication skills.
  • Mastery of the Dutch and English language.
  • You live within a reasonable distance from Veendam.

What does Variass have to offer you?
This position is available for 32-40 hours per week with a fixed term contract and the prospect of a permanent contract. You will also receive:

  • Pension build-up.
  • Possibility to participate in collective arrangements with a discount.
  • 27 vacation days and 13 additional days based on full-time employment.
  • Free fruit every week.

In addition to development and hard work, we also value fun and relaxation. For example, we regularly organize staff outings, an annual company party, meetings with food trucks and lunches around holidays.
