Electronics Engineer

About us
Xeryon is a fast-growing company located in the heart of the Eastech Park Leuven. With a close-knit team, we focus on developing and improving piezo motors, actuators, and stages. Job Summary: As an Electronics Engineer at Xeryon, you will work closely with our development team to design and develop electronic control systems for our piezo motors, covering both the intelligent digital components and the associated analog power stages and sensors. In addition, you will take ownership of the safety and EMC certification of Xeryon's drive systems.

Key Responsibilities
Design & Prototyping
• Design and develop electronic control systems for piezo motors with a focus on developing and improving the electronics over our different motors, reducing the footprint and providing best solutions to connect to different communication protocols.
• Develop both digital and analog electronics, including sensors and power stages.
• Create schematics and PCB layouts using tools like Altium or KiCad.
• Build and test prototypes to validate design concepts.
• Optimize designs for manufacturability and cost-efficiency.
• Ensure designs meet relevant industry standards and regulatory requirements (e.g., IPC-2221, CE, RoHS, EMC).
• Document new developments and keep existing design documentation accurate and up to date, including version control of the development files. System Integration & Testing
• Perform system-level testing and validation to ensure performance and reliability.
• Develop and execute test plans, including automated testing where applicable.
• Develop and test encased versions of existing and newly developed controllers. Drive Systems Certification (Safety & EMC) You are the main technical link between Xeryon and the third-party certification company, making sure our drive systems are certified for safety and.
• Prepare the technical documentation, schematics, drawings, component data and test data required by the certification body and maintain a structured technical construction file per product and per standard.
• Respond to information requests from the certification body in a timely manner.
• Coordinate the availability of test samples, prototypes and equipment needed for certification testing.
• Track the progress of all certification activities, maintain a central overview of status, open actions and deadlines, and report progress to management.
• Review test plans and methodology before execution and critically review test and validation reports to confirm compliance, flagging discrepancies or non-conformities before sign-off.
• Investigate issues and non-conformities raised during testing, define and verify corrective actions together with electronics, software and product development engineers, and coordinate re-testing until compliance is achieved.
• Document root causes and corrective actions and ensure test reports and certificates are filed and traceable per product and country.
• Act as the escalation point when certification activities are at risk of delay and coordinate with internal stakeholders to resolve blockers. Continuous Improvement & Innovation
• Work closely with the development team to bring innovative solutions, especially the mechanical team for sizing and connectivity and the software team.
• Analyze testing data and feedback to improve product reliability and performance.
• Take initiative in improving system performance and reliability focused on reducing the footprint and improving integration of electronics in our motor systems.
• Ability to bring in electronics expertise on current best practices and future trends. Qualifications Technical Skills
• Master's degree in Electronics or equivalent through experience.
• Minimum of 5 years of experience in electronic control system development, preferably in motor or drive systems.
• Knowledge in Altium.
• Experience with high-density interconnect (HDI) PCB design.
• Interested in safety and EMC certification processes and standards; prior experience with external test labs or certification bodies is a plus.
• Strong technical documentation

skills:
schematics, BOMs, technical files, test and validation reports.
• Familiarity with programming languages (Python and C) is a plus.
• Being familiar with encoder electronics is a plus.
• Being familiar with different industrial communications protocols is a plus.
• Fluent in English; proficiency in Dutch is a plus. Personal Attributes
• Driven and enthusiastic.
• Strong team player and communicator, comfortable coordinating between internal engineering teams and external partners.
• Proactive and ownership-driven; follows up independently and drives issues to closure.
• Structured and organized, able to manage several parallel tracks and deadlines.
• Detail-oriented, with a quality and compliance mindset.

What We Offer
• A dynamic and energetic work environment in a fast-growing scale-up company.
• Opportunities to grow into various roles across engineering, quality, production or sales roles.
• A chance to directly influence product development and customer experience.
• A supportive team culture focused on innovation, ownership, and continuous learning.
• Competitive salary and benefits tailored to your experience and growth potential. Apply now by sending your CV and motivation letter to jobs@xeryon.com.
