Mechatronics Engineer

For our engineering team in Rotterdam, we are looking for a Mechatronics engineer who will play a key role in developing advanced chromatographic applications and shaping next\-generation analytical instruments. In this role, you will translate complex analytical challenges into robust solutions, contributing directly to innovative GC technologies used worldwide.

Main responsabilities:

• Design and develop integrated mechatronic solutions for advanced analytical instrumentation (as GC, GC×GC, GC‑MS, Elemental and sample handling systems)


• Translate customer and product requirements into functional concepts and detailed technical designs


• Integrate sensors, heaters, valves, actuators and control electronics into reliable and high\-performance instrument modules


• Create and maintain 3D models and assemblies in SolidWorks to support layout, integration, and prototyping


• Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, software, and application engineers to ensure seamless system performance and integration


• Support prototyping, testing, and validation activities, including troubleshooting and root cause analysis of complex system behaviour


• Contribute to modular and scalable system architectures for custom and configurable analytical solutions


• Contribute to continuous improvement of existing products, focusing on reliability, manufacturability, and serviceability


• Support introduction of new designs into production, including documentation and technical guidance during implementation

• Bachelor’s degree (HBO) in Mechatronics or a related field


• 3–5 years of relevant experience in mechatronic system design and integration


• Strong understanding of mechanical design principles, combined with basic knowledge of electronics and control systems


• Hands\-on experience with 3D CAD (preferably SolidWorks) for assemblies and system layout


• Experience with sensors, actuators, heaters, and control components used in precision instrumentation


• Practical knowledge of control systems (e.g., PID tuning) and system behaviour in thermal and flow\-driven applications


• Experience with troubleshooting complex multi\-disciplinary systems and performing root cause analysis


• Affinity with analytical instrumentation, laboratory equipment, or high\-precision systems is a strong advantage


• Strong problem\-solving skills with a structured and analytical approach


• Good communication skills in English (Dutch is a plus), with the ability to work in cross\-functional teams

• A unique expert role with high responsibility and autonomy.


• A collaborative and informal work environment with a Rotterdam spirit: open, direct, and supportive.


• A chance to learn continuously from unique and innovative products, with access to training and courses


• A friendly and close team of six experts, part of a wider engineering group of about 20 people as part of the location in Rotterdam with over 80 employees.


• Hybrid working possibilities, with a culture of preferring in\-person collaboration at our Rotterdam office.
