Job description
- Concept & Solution Engineering: Work directly with customers to understand their needs and challenges, challenge requirements where needed, and (co-)create technical solutions and system architectures that best addresses the problem.
- Electrical Engineering: Design and integrate electrical architectures, components, wiring, sensors, actuators, and communication systems for off-highway vehicles and other machines.
- Software, Automation & Controls: Program machine functions and control logic using PLCs, ECUs, and embedded systems. Integrate and commission control systems.
- System Engineering: Connect electrical, software, hydraulic, and mechanical systems into a coherent and reliable machine architecture. Turn designs and ideas into functioning systems.
- Testing & Commissioning: Build, integrate, commission, test, debug, and fine-tune prototypes and machines, turning concepts into reliable real-world solutions.
- Customer Support, Training & Continuous Improvement: Support customers in the field or remotely, troubleshoot technical issues, provide hands-on training, and use customer and field feedback to continuously improve machine performance and reliability.
ARE YOU THE ONE? You’re a hands-on Electrical Automation Engineer who enjoys understanding how things work, creating new solutions, and finding ways to make systems work even better. You don’t stop at the drawing board. You enjoy building, programming, testing, debugging, and improving real machines and you’re curious about what happens when your engineering meets the real world. You like digging into complex problems and don’t stop until you’ve turned your understanding into a practical and efficient solution, especially when there’s no obvious answer or manual to follow.
Requirements
You approach challenges from a systems perspective, combining analytical thinking, creativity, and practical problem-solving. You’re curious, eager to learn, adaptable, and comfortable working both independently and as part of a team. Most importantly, you thrive in a fast-paced and ambitious environment where you can tackle complex technical challenges and see your solutions work reliably in the field.
- A master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Automation, Electromechanics, Mechatronics, Systems Engineering, or a related field.
- Approximately 3-5 years of relevant experience in a similar engineering role, working with electrical systems, automation, controls, or embedded systems.
- A strong interest in (off-highway vehicles), robotics, or intelligent machines.
- Knowledge of PLC programming, preferably with CODESYS (Structured Text).
- Knowledge of CAN-bus and/or other communication systems.
- Strong knowledge of Eplan and electrical design.
- Strong communication skills in Dutch and English.
- Driver’s license B and a willingness to travel occasionally, both in Belgium and abroad.
Benefits & conditions
No two days are the same. You’ll move between different challenging projects, customers, machines, and locations, tackling challenges that span different technical domains. Every project offers something new to learn, solve, and build. What makes it truly rewarding? You’re involved from A to Z. From the first concept to commissioning the final solution in the field, you’ll see your ideas and engineering come to life and make a real impact in the field.
-
Grow with a tech scale-up Join a dynamic, engineering-driven environment where things move fast, ideas are heard and opportunities come your way. Take on responsibility early, work closely with awesome colleagues and learn by doing. Have a real impact as we grow.
-
Keep learning. Keep moving forward. You’ll get the freedom to create, experiment, make mistakes, take ownership and grow. Develop your technical expertise and soft skills. Shape your own path as we scale, whether that means going deeper or broader or taking on more responsibility.
-
A competitive compensation package Enjoy a competitive gross monthly salary, car or van, €8 meal vouchers/day, eco vouchers, hospitalization insurance, year-end bonus, vacation pay and 12 compensatory days.
About the company
What if the systems you engineer don’t just work on paper, but actually power, control, and bring real machines to life? At M-ECS, you’ll design and integrate the electrical and automation systems that make off-highway vehicles and other robotic platforms work as one. You’ll work at the intersection of electrical engineering, automation, embedded systems, and system integration, helping machines operate reliably in demanding industrial and heavy-field environments.
You’ll see your work move from idea * concept * system * real-world impact.
