Senior firmware ontwerper

Introduction At

VAEngineering , we design and develop high-tech electronic devices from concept to production. Our work spans the full product lifecycle, from system architecture and hardware design to firmware development, embedded Linux, and manufacturing support. We take pride in building robust, scalable, and production-ready solutions across a wide range of industries.

The ideal candidate is a proactive and collaborative engineer who combines creativity with strong technical problem-solving skills. You are able to think strategically across the full development lifecycle, from concept and architecture to implementation and production. You take ownership of your work, communicate effectively with cross-functional teams, and are equally comfortable working independently or as part of a team.

Role Overview We are looking for a skilled
