This big data enables us to work Reverse Recruitment©: we first analyze the market in-depth before we go out to the market. Because we analyze the whole market, we can compare facts and data. This enables us to do Facts & Big Data Recruitment©, making sure we, or better yet, you find the right career!Our client is a professional Medical Devices organisation, based in Noord-Holland Netherlands.

The Company

Our client improves the quality of life of people using medical (micro) devices. They are committed to be the preferred partner in the development and manufacturing of transducers and electromechanical solutions designed for professional use.

Role Description

As a product development engineer MEMS you are a key player in the development of MEMS related acoustical or optical sensors. The position requires you to work both on the technical details and on the integration of them to come to a feasible product. For this you cooperate a lot with other colleagues and partners, in- and outside the Netherlands. Constantly you balance the technical possibilities with the quality and time requirements of the customer.
You learn fast because you are involved in a large part of the process from concept design to production, you work with leading experts in this area and because Lean techniques are consistently applied in the projects.

Responsibilities

You work in project teams on the development of MEMS based sensor products. You generate multiple concepts for which you do physical and electrical feasibility studies, using theoretical models, simulations and prototype verification. Based on that you advise on design related boundaries and impact on product level. You do research on technologies, materials and external developments. You interact with the quality colleagues to define test plans and consult on MEMS process and design related potential failure modes. Where needed, you interact with external expert partners. Finally, you support and interact with your colleagues of production engineering on the production scenarios and the needed equipment. Being one of the MEMS experts within the company, you advise colleagues and eventually impact strategic decisions.

Requirements

You have a Master degree or PhD in MEMS technology, material science, electronics or applied physics or related technical fields. This and your work experience (preferably several years) give you a thorough understanding of the MEMS process and the correlations between process and product. Ideally you have cleanroom experience in manufacturing MEMS. You know how to characterize MEMS both in physical analysis (e.g. SEM) and in electrical bench testing on product level. Next to that, you preferably have experience in MEMS design and MEMS based sensor testing and you are familiar with numerical and analytical modelling (e.g. Matlab, Pspice, Comsol or ANSYS).
