What are you going to do?

As a system engineer you are ultimately responsible for the technical aspects of the operating systems and their hardware and software modules. You are responsible for organizing and the technical content of these systems. You keep in touch with the clients, you communicate the technical data and you will collaborate with internal and/or external designers for detailed engineering.

The team consists of three System Engineers (of which you are the third), two Electrical Hardware Engineers, two Software Engineers and then the Commissioning Engineers. The team is led by the Systems Manager. The Systems Engineer is leading in making a functional/technical specification from which the rest of the team does its work. As a Systems Engineer you also have a central role in the eventual integration of prototypes and serial models in collaboration with the R&D department.

To ensure that everything runs smoothly, you draw up specifications for the system and an action plan for the design process. You manage the software, hardware and test engineers internally. You do this both on location in Sneek, and on board ships at home and abroad. It is important that you have a helicopter view.

Also common activities are:

Defining modules for new operating systems at a top-level technical work level and substantively directing the design process for operating systems;

Discussing design considerations by providing appropriate technical modeling and analysis and communicating technical data to the client;

Together with the sales engineer you draw up the specifications of the system and you draw up an action plan for the design process;

Recording specifications in schemes for detailed engineering;

Drawing up functional and technical specifications, installation description, acceptance protocols, manual and operating instructions.

This is a full-time position for 40 hours a week with a view to a permanent position.
