Prototype Builder

This is how you make an Impact

As a Prototype Builder, you play a key role in the development of new products. You transform designs, schematics, and limited technical information into fully functional prototypes that validate product manufacturability, functionality, and quality. Through your technical expertise and keen eye for process improvement, you help ensure that new products successfully transition into serial production. In addition, you actively contribute to optimizing existing manufacturing processes, driving continuous improvements in quality, efficiency, and cost control.

This is what we offer you

• A challenging and informal working environment within an international organization.

• Plenty of opportunities to develop yourself and grow.

• Strong coaching and guidance in a growing company with a focus on people and sustainability.

• A competitive salary, aligned with your knowledge and experience on a full‑time basis.

• 27 vacation days, plus additional ADV days.

This is what you bring to the team

• A completed technical education (pre-vocational secondary education level, MBO), preferably in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.

• Experience in building, assembling, and testing prototypes or complex technical products.

• Knowledge of mechanical operations such as drilling, filing, and tapping, complemented by experience in assembly and soldering activities.

• The ability to interpret technical drawings, schematics, and work instructions and translate them into practical solutions.

• A strong analytical and problem-solving mindset, enabling you to identify design and manufacturability issues at an early stage.

• Good communication skills and the ability to work effectively with Engineering, Quality, Production, and other stakeholders.

• A proactive attitude with a continuous improvement mindset focused on products, processes, and tooling.

• Basic English language skills for reading technical instructions and documentation.

• Willingness to work in a two-shift schedule:

Shift times: Morning shift: 06:00 AM to 02:50 PM; Afternoon shift: 02:40 PM to 12:00 AM (midnight) and Friday afternoon shift: 02:40 PM to 09:20 PM.

Requirements

Your daily responsibilities include

• Reviewing product designs and determining the most effective build approach together with Account Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, and, where required, customers.

• Identifying manufacturability risks and proposing technical improvements and alternative solutions.

• Assembling, mounting, wiring, and soldering prototype racks, cabinets, and other assemblies.

• Performing mechanical modifications and adjustments to components and assemblies.

• Building, testing, and validating prototypes according to customer specifications, quality standards, and regulatory requirements.

• Documenting working methods, findings, production times, and improvement opportunities.

• Creating work instructions, process documentation, photographs, and production guidelines.

• Preparing prototype orders for production and helping determine whether products and processes are ready for release into regular manufacturing.

• Recording deviations, disruptions, and inventory discrepancies while ensuring accurate reporting.

• Training, supporting, and guiding assembly technicians and new team members.

• Driving improvement initiatives related to quality, efficiency, cost reduction, and product-specific tooling.

• Working in accordance with safety, quality, environmental, and ESD regulations while ensuring the timely delivery of high-quality products.
