Responsibilities include acoustic modeling, signal processing, experimental data analysis, algorithm development for beamforming and detection, scientific computing, documentation, cross-functional collaboration, and workflow improvement. The role supports defense and offshore energy applications and requires eligibility for Dutch/NATO security screening.

Develop and mature hydrophone sensor subsystems, including mechanical housings, internal structures, sealing concepts, and interfaces. Translate requirements into detailed designs, drawings, analyses, prototypes, and validation activities. Support acoustic characterization, integration, testing, root-cause investigations, design improvements, manufacturability, reliability, and production readiness. Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams and manufacturing partners while communicating technical progress, risks, and dependencies.

Manage employee records, contracts, onboarding, offboarding, payroll preparation, sick leave administration, residence permits, and HR inbox support across the Netherlands and Ireland. Maintain accurate, compliant HR data in Personio, guide employees on policies and procedures, support reporting, and improve People Operations processes. The role requires a proactive, service-oriented generalist who is comfortable working in an international scale-up with evolving processes.

Performs quality control across incoming materials, production, testing, FAT, and final product release. Verifies specifications, records, traceability, labeling, and documentation; controls non-conforming materials and quarantines; supports NCRs, corrective actions, root-cause investigations, and ERP updates; and provides final QC sign-off before shipment. Collaborates with Warehouse, Production, Engineering, Supply Chain, Procurement, Logistics, and suppliers to ensure technical products meet quality requirements.

Lead multidisciplinary offshore, subsea, and marine projects from initiation through delivery. Manage scope, schedules, budgets, risks, stakeholders, customers, partners, and technical teams while ensuring successful execution. Support bids, translate technical requirements into deliverables, improve project-management processes, and capture lessons learned. The role requires relevant technical expertise, subsea or marine project experience, strong communication, and mandatory AIVD security screening.

Partner with managers and leaders to build high-performing teams, develop leadership capabilities, navigate employee relations and employment-law matters, and support organisational change. Coach managers, guide performance and absence processes, strengthen culture, and help create scalable people practices during rapid international growth. Collaborate with Recruitment and People Operations to improve the employee experience and contribute to broader People, Organisation & Culture initiatives.

Leads end-to-end development of fiber-optic sensing subsystems for temperature, pressure, and heading measurement in demanding underwater environments. Responsibilities include optical architecture, prototyping, testing, calibration, characterization, root-cause analysis, integration, verification and validation, industrialization, manufacturability improvements, technical decision-making, and mentoring engineers. The role requires close collaboration across systems engineering, manufacturing, integration, and lifecycle teams.

Own and evolve a cloud-agnostic data and ML platform supporting ingestion, storage, processing, model training, deployment, and lifecycle management. Build reliable, scalable, automated infrastructure using DevOps and MLOps practices, including CI/CD, Infrastructure-as-Code, containerization, monitoring, governance, security, and cost optimization. Collaborate with data science, ML engineering, and IT teams while maintaining vendor-delivered components, documentation, and operational processes.

Lead quality assurance across product development, manufacturing, project execution, operations, and customer delivery. Own the QA framework and Stage-Gate process, facilitate design reviews, manage DFMEA and PFMEA activities, ensure documentation and release processes are audit-ready, oversee CAPA and supplier/customer quality, support ISO 9001 audits, and drive continuous improvement through KPI monitoring and management reporting.

Develop, integrate, test, and optimize photonic components and fiber-optic subsystems across the product lifecycle. Translate requirements into reliable, manufacturable optical solutions; perform measurements and validation; analyze results; mitigate technical risks; and implement improvements. The role collaborates with multidisciplinary engineering teams and supports verification, prototyping, manufacturing transfer, and product realization for sensing technologies used in critical infrastructure and security applications.

Own and maintain product and configuration baselines across the product development lifecycle. Manage BOMs, CAD packages, assemblies, drawings, engineering documentation, released data, and change processes. Ensure traceability, integrity, and consistency of controlled product information; support prototype and production builds; assess change impacts; resolve configuration issues; and improve engineering data and release workflows while collaborating with multidisciplinary teams.

Own the full lifecycle development of marine and subsea structural systems, including design, structural analysis, testing, manufacturing, lifting, deployment, and offshore installation. Develop welded steel structures and mechanical interfaces, translate requirements into robust solutions, manage suppliers, define technical documentation, investigate risks and root causes, and support multidisciplinary verification, validation, and product integration. The role requires security screening and eligibility for EU/NATO clearance.

Creates detailed, manufacturable engineering packages from conceptual designs, including 3D models, 2D drawings, assemblies, BOMs, junction box layouts, fiber routing, splice plans, connector details, and technical specifications. Supports procurement, suppliers, production, assembly, testing, inspection, and design standardization. Requires strong mechanical engineering and CAD experience, with preferred expertise in subsea, offshore, marine, harsh-environment, or fiber optic systems.
