As a PCB layout designer you will be part of our PCB design force and will get the opportunity to design a wide verity of electronic boards. Our designs reach from simple to very complex and from digital to high power. There are possibilities to specialize in a certain field of working. You will work in a multi-disciplinary team with other experts in e.g. mechanics, software and magnetics.

At Prodrive Technologies we use Cadence Allegro as main PCB layout tool (experience not required) and there is a lot of support from our design automation scripts, which are very helpful in many ways to get complex designs into series manufacturing.

At Prodrive Technologies, you will be developing and maintaining our software code base for our EV charging stations. You will be challenged to develop high-quality software for our innovative, in-house designed and manufactured, hardware platform. Your activities consist of the complete software design cycle; design, implement & test. Our high-tech laboratory and equipment guarantee that all the required tools are available for you.

The team you’ll be working with is small and values teamwork above all others. We are supportive to each other and help where possible; we tackle our challenges head on; and we aim to let you grow as you desire.

Continuously crossing technological boundaries, expanding our local facilities and opening international offices are perfect examples of this. Finding and selecting the right talent to join our company plays a crucial part in fulfilling our ambitions. Therefore we are looking for an eager and ambitious Recruiter to join our team.

As a Recruiter at Prodrive you are end responsible for the entire recruitment process.

Next to this you can also be involved in campus recruitment, organizing recruitment events, and job advertising. Together with your HR colleagues globally you will define the recruitment strategy and Prodrive’s employer brand.

A product is not finished without its casing/housing/enclosure. But mechanical design is much more than “simply” creating a container for electronics. A well-made design is properly cooled, structurally sound and conform customer specific requirements. Additionally, production wants to be able to assemble the final product efficiently, purchasing wants to keep the cost down and project management wants it done last week. As a mechanical designer at Prodrive Technologies every day we work to solve these puzzles.

As a Precision Engineer, you are responsible for developing high-performance systems, where you need to consider kinematics, dynamics, structural analysis, and design for manufacturing. You are pushing mechanics to the limits in high precision applications within excessive environments such as extreme temperatures, ultra-high vacuums, and exceptional high speeds. With a team of experts, you will design, build, qualify, and integrate state-of-the-art products. Your creative solutions are based on extensive mechanical design, the right material choices, and applying design principles. You are tackling exciting mechanic challenges by, for example, gaining high stiffness while maintaining low mass, flexure mechanisms, statically and thermally determined designs, and frictionless / low hysteresis designs.

As a thermodynamics & fluid engineer you will work on high-tech systems involving power conversion, embedded computing, cabinets and magnetics. Where you will be responsible for the thermodynamic behavior, flow, adequate cooling solutions and design for thermal control.  You will be involved in the entire design process.
