About Bruco

Bruco (www.bruco-ic.com) is an independent fabless semiconductor company specializing in designing and supplying custom RF, analog/mixed signal ICs to customers globally. We partner with OEMs across various industries (ranging from innovative startups to multinational corporates) to develop application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) that enable truly differentiated products with a meaningful impact on everyday life. When off-the-shelf components fall short, we deliver tailor-made ICs that meet the highest demands in performance, integration, and reliability.

With decades of RF and AMS design experience, our ambition is to further grow Bruco into a globally recognized, highly specialized partner for advanced ASIC solutions.

The Role

As Business Development Manager, you report directly to the CEO and play a critical role in shaping the future of Bruco. You will be responsible for identifying, developing, and managing long-term relationships with new and existing customers. Your focus will be on multi-year development projects and supply contracts, where technical complexity and customer intimacy are key to success.

You will work closely with customers to understand their applications and help translate them into custom ASIC solutions, working alongside our engineering team. This is a role for a charismatic, highly motivated self-starter who thrives in a technical-commercial environment and takes full ownership of the business development process.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and grow long-term relationships, turning customer requirements into viable ASIC projects.
• Translate customer concepts and requirements into concrete technical proposals and development plans in collaboration with the engineering team.
• Lead the full business development cycle: from strategic lead generation and proposal creation to contract negotiation and closing.
• Act as a strategic sparring partner to customers, ensuring alignment throughout the entire project lifecycle.
• Represent Bruco at industry events, trade shows, and customer meetings, both in the Netherlands and internationally.

• You are entrepreneurial and take ownership: you create momentum and don’t wait for others to act.
• You have the charisma and communication skills to engage both technical stakeholders and executive-level decision-makers.
• You’re able to deal with complex, long sales cycles and are comfortable building multi-year development and supply projects.

Why Join Bruco?
