About Eddytec

We are a young ambitious hardware startup revolutionising non-destructive testing (NDT) using advanced eddy current technologies. Our mission is to make testing of carbon fibre composites fast and simple, enabling industries such as aerospace, energy, med tech, and others to further adopt these high-performance materials and achieve their sustainability goals while saving cost.

The role of Head of Engineering

We are looking for an R&D Engineer with a hardware design, sensor development or NDT background. As part of our engineering team, you will be instrumental in successfully designing, developing, and delivering commercially ready non-destructive testing solutions for carbon fibre composites - consisting of hardware, electronics and software components. You will play a key role in customer trials that demonstrate the technology and its readiness for deployment and product launch.

As an ideal candidate, you have built a strong technical career in a startup or R&D environment. You are known for your technical acumen, uncanny attention to detail, unconditional commitment to quality, and ability to find solutions to hard problems.

How you'll make an impact:

• Actively contributing to the development of innovative non-destructive testing prototypes.
• Continually developing, evaluating, and communicating product requirements for Eddytec’s sensing solutions.
• Driving the maturation of advanced eddy-current technologies towards TRL 7, including management of customer trials to demonstrate readiness for deployment.
• Capturing, documenting, and distilling feedback from customers and prospects to steer product development.
• Collaborating closely with the engineering team in delivering outstanding results.
• Mentoring junior team members and interns and encouraging knowledge sharing.
• Presenting regular updates in the engineering team meetings providing clear communication of project progress and results.

What makes you a good fit:

• 5+ years of demonstrated success in contributing to delivery of complex hardware products with integrated software within a startup and/or scaleup environment.
• Hands-on experience maturing technologies from TRL 4 to TRL 7.
• Detail-oriented with exceptional written and oral communication skills.
• Passionate about engaging with and learning from customers.
• Background in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, embedded systems, or sensor development.
• Naturally curious and thrive on challenges, with exceptional problem-solving skills, flexible thinking, and a knack for innovative solutions.
• Confident and fair team player who thrives in their role while actively supporting and celebrating the achievements of colleagues.
• Experienced in working in diverse technical teams, embracing a variety of cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives.
• Please note, that you must have a valid working permit for the Netherlands.

What we offer

Environment: We are located at the vibrant Science Park in Amsterdam (the Netherlands) amidst tech companies, research institutes and universities.

Culture: You’ll be surrounded by a stellar and diverse team of physicists, engineers, and product people with a strong desire to learn and transfer knowledge.

Equity: We want our people to have a sense of ownership in what they do and share the company's success, thus we offer the potential for equity share.

Impact: Last but not least, you’ll have the opportunity to deliver real value to the aerospace, energy, med tech and other industries by bringing novel non-destructive testing products to the market.
