Build, instrument, and support prototype hardware and test set-ups with strong safety and configuration discipline.
Enable fast, safe prototype build and test by executing work accurately and documenting configuration.
Improve test reliability through solid set-ups, clean instrumentation, and disciplined checks.
Reduce rework by reporting issues early with clear evidence (photos, measurements, build notes).
Support prototype builds: assembly, fit-up, rework, and basic fabrication tasks under guidance.
Prepare and maintain test set-ups (fixtures, wiring, sensors, instrumentation routing) with safe practices.
Follow and improve build/test instructions; feed back issues and propose practical fixes.
Track parts, serials, and configuration status for prototypes and test articles.
Support test execution: set-up, checks, logging, teardown, and basic inspection.
Troubleshoot basic hardware issues and escalate with clear evidence (photos, measurements, logs).
Maintain a clean, safe, organised workspace; handle tools and equipment responsibly.
Coordinate with engineers to implement design changes correctly and document what changed.

Technical education (MBO/HBO or equivalent) in mechanical, electrical, or aerospace domains.
2-4 years’ experience in a workshop, prototype lab, aviation/automotive, or similar hands-on setting.
Ability to read basic drawings and follow build instructions accurately.
Comfort with hand tools and measurement tools; safe working habits.
Discipline with documentation and configuration (you record what you built and how).
Willingness to learn and to receive/give feedback; steady attention to detail.
Ability to communicate issues clearly and early.
Respect for safety-critical standards: you do not “make it work” without documenting and escalating.
