Jobs at NTS Group

Leads the industrialization of complex mechatronic assemblies from prototype through volume production. Defines scope and QLTC targets, manages milestones, engineering changes, manufacturability, cleanroom assembly qualification, and first article inspection. Coordinates multidisciplinary teams across engineering, procurement, logistics, quality, suppliers, and assembly while maintaining customer relationships and supporting commercial agreements.

Designs, analyzes, and improves manufacturing processes and production tools for high-precision parts. Assesses drawings for manufacturability, develops and validates processes, documents PFMEAs and test methods, identifies bottlenecks, advises on equipment and tooling investments, and supports prototypes through volume production. The role connects customers, engineering, quality, operators, and the shop floor across semiconductor, analytical, medical, and high-tech manufacturing.

Lead industrialization of customer designs into scalable, cost-efficient, first-time-right production processes in a low-volume, high-complexity environment. Own the full NPI lifecycle, design serial production processes, define tooling and qualifications, perform FMEA/SPC/8D validation, monitor cost/quality/delivery, and coordinate with international suppliers for manufacturability and QA.

Manage full-cycle recruitment across functions and levels, from requisition and sourcing through onboarding. Partner with hiring managers on workforce planning, build candidate pipelines, maintain ATS records, analyze recruitment metrics, and lead internship and young talent programs. Ensure compliance with Singapore MOM and TAFEP requirements while supporting onboarding, training administration, HR projects, and related initiatives.

Partners with local management on organizational design, change, talent development, complex HR matters, and annual HR processes. Improves HR systems and processes, analyzes HR data, develops learning plans, supports Dutch labor relations and Works Council processes, and leads local and international HR projects including HRIS and performance management implementations.

Operates and sets up bending machines to produce components according to technical drawings and specifications. Inspects finished products, maintains production records, performs minor equipment maintenance, follows safety and manufacturing standards, and collaborates with engineering and quality teams to resolve issues and improve processes. The role also supports training junior machine operators and requires physical ability to handle materials and work flexible shifts.

Designs and optimizes optical systems and modules for high-tech applications. Translates customer requirements into optical concepts, performs Zemax simulations, selects components, and develops prototypes. Integrates, aligns, tests, and validates optical systems throughout the product development cycle. Requires collaboration with multidisciplinary engineering teams and customers, with applications potentially spanning semiconductor, analytical, medical, and photonics markets.

Independently program, set up, and operate CNC turning and multi-tasking machines for small, complex precision series. Determine machining approaches for different products and materials, work to accuracies from 0.01 mm to 5 µm, and transition products from prototype to series production. The role requires extensive CNC turning experience, precision, independence, and Dutch fluency; Okuma experience is advantageous.

Manage customer projects from quotation and order intake through manufacturing and delivery of complex opto-mechanical systems. Coordinate multidisciplinary manufacturing, supply chain, quality, and engineering teams while achieving quality, logistics, technology, and cost targets. Responsibilities include project planning, risk and change management, stakeholder coordination, customer expectation management, and resolving operational and technical challenges.

Apprenticeship in precision machining learning CNC, turning and milling, measuring, CNC programming, and reading technical drawings. Two days weekly at school and three days working at NTS with a mentor, paid monthly, travel reimbursement, 40+ days off, and high chance of permanent employment after diploma.

Operate, set up, program (TopSolid or at-control), and optimize CNC lathes (Mikroturn, Mori Seiki, Emco) to produce ultra-precise one-offs and small series. Measure and assure quality to micron tolerances, prepare fixtures and tools, collaborate with engineering, and work in a two-shift team environment.

Provide high-level executive support to the Board at NTS Eindhoven: manage complex international calendars, act as gatekeeper for internal/external stakeholders, organize travel and events, support projects and legal processes (NDAs, contract processing), and monitor priorities and deadlines in a dynamic, technical environment.

Operate, set up, program and optimize 5-axis CNC milling machines (Yasda, Kern, Mikron) using Heidenhain or Fanuc controls and TopSolid 7. Mill compact, high-precision single pieces and small series in exotic materials to ~4 microns, prepare fixtures/tools, measure and ensure quality, and collaborate with engineering and work preparation in a two-shift team.

Lead NPI engineering and project management to deliver new products on time, in scope, and within budget. Develop NPI strategy, manage cross-functional teams, governance, KPIs, budgets, risk mitigation, process improvements, and ensure smooth transition to high-volume manufacturing while interfacing with stakeholders and customers.

Maintain and improve a stable, efficient production process for high-precision mechatronic assemblies. Provide first-line production support, lead root-cause analyses (8D), implement improvements and tooling (including 3D-printed solutions), manage changes via the Change Control Board, and coordinate technical alignment with customers and suppliers.

Translate customer E-BOMs into production-oriented M-BOMs, maintain article and BOM data in ERP, manage configuration changes, visualize inventory impacts, and collaborate with engineering, supply chain and production to improve logistics processes and data quality.

Multiple internship and graduation projects across additive manufacturing, mechanical engineering, and IT support. Work includes thermal FEM modeling, designing 3D-printed fixtures, testing printed part properties, and providing helpdesk support for hardware. Candidates receive guidance, equipment if needed, and work in a high-tech environment.

Lead an assembly department (30–50 staff) in a cleanroom environment, translate production strategy into goals, manage KPIs and staffing, improve lead time and efficiency, coordinate with engineering/quality/procurement, analyze ERP data, and coach team leaders and assemblers.

Plan medium- and long-term production capacity and schedules in the ERP system, align lead times and priorities, detect and resolve material or capacity bottlenecks, manage rush orders, advise production management, set logistical parameters, and frequently coordinate with the shop floor to ensure reliable delivery.

Perform literature study and analyze performance of an interferometric focus sensor lab setup. Propose and verify improvements, redesign for outside-lab use, and, time permitting, build and experimentally validate a prototype.
