Electrical Design Engineer

We are looking for an Electronics Design Engineer for our client.

Our client is at the forefront of aerospace innovation, specializing in the development of ultra high-speed, lightweight e-compressors. These systems play a key role in the transition to energy-efficient aircrafts, leading the way towards a sustainable aerospace industry. But the impact goes far beyond aviation. The same technology forms the basis for industrial and domestic heat pumps, offering instant thermal control and enabling clients across industries towards a net-zero CO2 emission, which is Europe’s goal by 2050.

Our client has successfully grown into an internationally recognized leader in high-performance turbomachinery for Aerospace clients such as Airbus, Boeing and Lockheed Martin. Our client employs over 250 professionals across four locations in the Netherlands and Romania. This role is situated on the Technology Base in Enschede.

The engineering challenge

The e-compressor forms the ideal basis for advanced air and thermal management solutions. It compresses air to enable cooling, heating, and pressure control in everything from aircraft cabins an refridgerators, wing de-icing, and supporting the engine by managing airflow for functions like fuel tank inerting and environmental control. As the aerospace industry accelerates toward net zero emission, our client is pushing technical boundaries to further optimize e-compressor performance. For engineers, this means tackling challenges like real- time control of ultra high-speed rotating systems, compact integration of electronics, and ensuring reliability in safety-critical environments.

The challenge as a Electronics Design Engineer

We are looking for a new team member to strengthen the Electric Drives team with a focus on the design and development of advanced printed circuit boards (PCBs). You will be actively involved in the full lifecycle of electronic hardware development.

Your main responsibility will be the design and realization of complex PCBs that drive our high-speed electric compressors. These compressors demand exceptional reliability, compactness, and efficiency, and your work will directly influence their performance.

Together with your team, you’ll push the boundaries of what’s possible in the field of electric drives, incorporating cutting-edge technologies such as Silicon Carbide (SiC) power electronics, sensorless control algorithms, and high-frequency switching topologies.

In addition to design work, you will :

• Perform testing and validation to ensure compliance with aerospace standards;
• Enhance inverter efficiency, EMC, thermal behavior, and manufacturability;
• Support the development and refinement of design methods, tools, and processes;
• Work with production teams to ensure manufacturability and resolve issues;
• Prepare technical documentation and test plans to support product certification;
• Play a key role in high-impact innovations that drive sustainable aerospace and industrial electrification.
