Design it. Solder it. Watch it fly. Electronical Engineer at Tulip Tech: own BMS circuits and PCBs from first schematic to production. 450 Wh/kg, MoD-backed, Den Bosch.

Job description

Our batteries fly. Literally. Every cell pack that leaves Den Bosch ends up on a drone or an electric aircraft, tested to survive vibration, thermal extremes, and real operational conditions at altitude. We design and manufacture high-density silicon-anode battery systems delivering 450 Wh/kg and 30–100% more flight time than conventional alternatives. Post-MoD funding secured, with TU Delft and NLR as partners, and manufacturing entirely in-house. Now we build.

Why this role matters

Electronics is the system that makes energy usable. The BMS circuits, PCBs, and power distribution logic you design determine whether a drone completes its mission or doesn't. You own the electronics chain from first requirement to production handover. We have a mechanical team, a software team, and a manufacturing floor. You will work closely with all of them. But the electronics stack is yours.

What you will own

Define electronics requirements from scratch: work with customers or internal stakeholders to translate system-level needs into clear, testable specifications before a single schematic is drawn

  • Design and develop BMS circuits, PCBs, and electrical schematics in Altium Designer: power path, signal integrity, and thermal management

  • Prototype and solder boards yourself: scope, power analyser, JTAG, and soldering iron are your primary instruments

  • Validate electronics under real conditions: thermal cycling, vibration, and electrical stress testing across the full operating range

  • Optimize for energy density, cell balancing, and power distribution across the pack

  • Ensure compliance with drone and aviation standards (CE, IEC, UN38.3): own the documentation that gets a system certified

  • Work directly with mechanical, manufacturing, and software teams on system integration: your PCB must fit the enclosure, survive the vibration profile, and communicate with the firmware

  • Document test results, specifications, and design decisions that future engineers can build on

Job requirements

  • Bachelor's in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience

  • 5+ years of PCB design and hardware development in a production environment

  • Deep Altium Designer skills: schematics, layout, BOM management

  • Hands-on: you debug with a scope, not a ticket

  • Experience with power electronics or BMS design in low-voltage systems

  • Familiarity with compliance standards: CE, IEC, UN38.3

  • Nice to have: embedded systems experience, EMC testing background, drone/UAV/aerospace hardware background

Interview process

  • Intro call (30 min)

  • Interview panel with the engineering team (60–90 min)

  • Offer

What we offer

  • Competitive salary between €3,500 – €4,500 gross/month (based on experience)

  • 38 paid days off per year (25 vacation + 13 ADV via CAO Metaal & Techniek)

  • 8% holiday allowance, travel reimbursement, and pension via PMT

  • Daily lunch provided by the company

  • Direct access to the full electronics chain: from first schematic to battery in the air

  • Flat team: your board-level decisions reach production fast

  • Work authorization

  • EU right to work required. No visa sponsorship due to defense-adjacent partnerships.
