WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO AS A SYSTEMS ARCHITECT & ENGINEER?

In your role as System Architect and Engineer, you are the technical leader in multidisciplinary teams of specialists and are the technical ‘conscience’ in projects. To do this, you need to be creative and
have a good understanding of the expertises you’re working with; mainly optics, mechanics, and control engineering.
Your challenge lies in connecting all expertises involved in a project, and in shifting between detailed technical discussions and maintaining a helicopter view to make strategic project decisions.
These decisions often have to be made on the basis of incomplete data, and therefore it’s important that you are aware of the underlying technical and physical principles. Your main contributions to the projects are in the conceptual phase for idea generation and design phase for budgeting, technical decisions and team steering, in close cooperation with the customer(s), subcontractor(s) and partner(s). As system engineer you stay involved up to delivery to the
customer, which requires the capability to manage the TNO team and their partners towards the desired performance results within time and budget constraints. In addition, together with your colleagues you write project proposals for new paid assignments; you define topics for the TNO internal fundamental research and you mentor your younger colleagues.

TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN THIS ROLE, YOU HAVE:

• A masters or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Applied Physics or another relevant specialization.
• At least 8 years of relevant experience in the design of (opto)mechatronic systems in a high tech environment.
• An understanding of control engineering and mechatronic system design.
• A thorough knowledge of optics and optical systems.
• Knowledge about sensors and actuators and the physical principles behind it.

Besides the above you also have:

• Experience with motivating, inspiring and convincing colleagues, project teams and customers, being able to steer your team members towards the result you have in mind.
• A critical mindset, eager to get to know what the customer demand is and willing to outdo his expectations together with your team.
• A pragmatic and creative attitude.
• Mastery of the English language, both in speech and in writing.
