Are you the expert on electrical engineering designs for the Semicon industry? Do you enjoy working on complex, challenging projects and supervising the juniors? Then we are looking for you!


The challenge
In this position you will be part of a multidisciplinary project team and work on a variety of projects in Electronics & High Tech. Together with your colleagues you will immerse yourself in all the ins and outs of the field. You are responsible for the various phases of a project: from initiation phase to final design, specifications and advice in the implementation phase. With your technical knowledge and experience you will contribute to achieving the objectives of our clients. You do this for diverse clients such as ASML, NXP Semiconductors and Organon with a focus on sustainability and innovative concepts.


Your responsibilities include:

  • The design: directing and monitoring our designs.
  • The quality of the design and monitoring the hourly budget of your design (team).
  • Advising clients in all phases of the design process and supporting the project manager in communicating the design to the client.
  • Liaising with external design partners, implementing market parties and government agencies.
  • The internal and external design consultations and for the coordination of electrical engineering design issues entrusted to you. You will build a good relationship with the client in order to become involved in projects at an early stage as a consultant.


The office and team

The team in Eindhoven works on multidisciplinary projects. Fun comes first, there are no barriers and the flat structure is characteristic. The common interest is that everyone contributes to an optimal fulfillment of the customer demand. The Eindhoven office is known for the diversity of projects: from the Electronics market segment, where you are involved in a High Tech company for example, to Clean Technology projects, where clean rooms must be designed innovatively and in accordance with technical requirements. Team Eindhoven does it all!


Here's where

  • We worked on the development and design of a sustainable and modern building for the Netherlands Institute for Space Research (SRON), which develops measurement instruments for satellites. SRON was moving to the Leiden BioScience Park and had high demands on the new building in terms of sustainability, clean rooms and installation technology. As a research institute dedicated to studying the Earth's atmosphere, SRON felt it was important to minimize the impact on nature and the environment. Therefore, Deerns chose heat pumps in the design for heating and cooling the building and solar panels were installed on the roof. On top of it all, the building received the BREEAM-NL certificate Excellent.
  • We have been working on a feasibility study for GlobalWafers' new production line in Italy to end the long-term chip shortage. GlobalWafers, one of the six largest producers of silicon wafers in the world, wants to build a new, modern production facility in Italy to meet demand for the latest generation of high-purity 300 mm EPI wafers. During several working sessions, the Electronics unit incorporated processes into a building design with all the necessary technologies, where we also advised on cost and feasibility. Based on the production processes for the new product, all requirements were translated into a multi-story building.


This is you

  • You have at least a college degree (Hbo/ Wo) in electrical engineering or similar.
  • You have extensive experience with electrical engineering design in the High Tech and Life Sciences industry.
  • You like content, but also have an eye for process.
  • You are able to listen well to your environment and are a good sparring partner.
  • You are creative, think in solutions and guide others in doing the same.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills.

  • Hybrid working, where you have the opportunity to alternate between working from home and the office.
  • A team where cooperation and collegiality are priority, and where we interact informally.
  • Sustainability is in our genes. This is expressed, for example, in a mobility policy where health and sustainability are most important. Many of our offices are located near public transport hubs, cycling is encouraged and your travel expenses are reimbursed 100% on the basis of public transport.
