Vacancy

Acquisition based on this advertisement is not appreciated. We usually fill the vacancies ourselves and in exceptional cases we work with preferred suppliers.

As a Product Engineer at EuroSort, you are responsible for the technical elaboration and securing of (sub) elements of sorting machines such as mechanical components, drives and conveyors. The goal is to design these (sub) elements in such a way that they can be used in different projects.

When new modules or elements have to be added to an existing type of sorting machine, you create in 3D drawings in Inventor. The drawings are stored in the Autodesk Vault management system, so that you and your colleagues can consult the design when necessary.

You work on technical product development, which is not necessarily linked to projects. The designs you create are used for future multiple repeat projects, for example, the sorting machines of (inter) national postal companies and fashion brands. You help devise and manage the parts that recur in each machine.

You are part of the TECH team, together with two R&D Engineers, two Product Engineers, several Product Owners and Product Coordinators. You report to the TECH Manager and work closely with your team. It is therefore important that you can manage this well and are willing to help colleagues.What your work will exactly look like,will be determined by your qualities and interests. Furthermore, it is important you like to think along about process improvements and improvements in the organisation.

If you enjoy making 3D designs that are used throughout the company and find it challenging to do this accurately and make sure all the information is correct, then this is a job for you.

Working week

Product Engineer

On an enjoyable working day, a team member's prototype is made physical. Everyone gets energy from this and you try to make the prototype even better together afterwards.

On a less enjoyable working day, production cannot continue due to an unforeseen error in the drawing. Then you have to leave everything you were working on so that you can solve this problem.

Firsthand experience

Because of worldwide delivery problems, the organisation wants to use other engines in systems. How do you approach this?

First of all, you have to find out what the impact is on the existing design. If you use a different size or material, will the motor still fit into the design? In this situation, a new design has to be made, based on the new engine and its shape. As many of these motors are used each year, a prototype must then be made and tested to ensure that no problems occur in production. After successful testing and approval, you safeguard the design in the ERP system. You also communicate the new design on the Technical Bulletin page on the intranet, so that the rest of the company is informed.

Growth

EuroSort finds personal development very important. That's why there are many possibilities to attend courses and training. At the moment, EuroSort is developing a training policy to make this more concrete.
