Industrial Automation, Electrical, Electronic Engineer

(X-Laboratory, Rotterdam) We are hiring a passionate and driven Industrial Automation / Electrical / Electronic Engineer to join our growing team of talented engineers and researchers. The successful candidate will contribute to the development, deployment, and maintenance of high-performance industrial control solutions that power our advanced offshore motion-compensation systems. The ideal candidate is comfortable moving between real-time software engineering, electrical/industrial design, and hands-on commissioning work on board sea-going vessels. You will help build, test, and refine our robotic hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testbeds, expand our build and CI/CD infrastructure, and support the continued evolution of our high-reliability industrial platforms.

EDUCATION M.Sc. preferred, B.Sc. acceptable Electrical Engineering, Industrial Automation, Mechatronics, Embedded Systems, or similar NEN low-voltage certifications (up to 690 V) are a strong plus

CORE COMPETENCIES INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION & ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING Experience with drive systems in the 0–250 kW range (Siemens, ABB, Danfoss) Practical experience with rotary/linear motion systems and industrial automation architectures EPLAN proficiency: creating, reading, and maintaining electrical schematics Understanding of redundancy, safety concepts (SIL levels, failover structures), and industrial power systems On-board commissioning experience on sea-going vessels is a strong plus

PROGRAMMING & SOFTWARE ENGINEERING Excellent knowledge of C/C++ for industrial PC and PLC applications Experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS) Strong understanding of middleware frameworks (e.g., DDS) Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and build infrastructure (maintenance & extension) Competent with common PLC languages (IEC 61131-3)

ROBOTICS & TEST INFRASTRUCTURE Comfortable with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing setups Hands-on experience building, integrating, and troubleshooting robotic or mechatronic testbeds Ability to work across mechanical, electrical, and software boundaries

COMMUNICATION TCP/UDP/DDS Clear technical documentation skills Comfortable interacting with clients, commissioning partners, and suppliers

SOFT SKILLS Team-player mentality Getting problems solved mentality Accurate and Transparent work records Motivated to thrive in a collaborative, innovation-driven environment Capable of independent diagnostics and structured problem-solving Willing and eager to travel for on-board commissioning (world-wide)

RESPONSIBILITIES Develop high-performance PLC and industrial PC applications in C/C++ on RTOS platforms Maintain and extend build systems, CI/CD pipelines, and software infrastructure Create and update EPLAN schematics for industrial systems Integrate, configure, and test industrial drive systems (0–250 kW) Build, test, and expand robotic hardware-in-the-loop testbeds at our X-Innovation Lab Perform commissioning of machinery and motion-control equipment on board sea-going vessels Support senior experts and lead scientists in mechatronic design and system architecture Produce technical documentation, training materials, and client-ready internal reports

WHO WE ARE Do you want to contribute to bringing forth the most advanced equipment in the world—and help accelerate the global renewable energy transition? X-Laboratory was founded in 2017 and has since become a key innovator in offshore renewables, delivering some of the most advanced and high-performance motion-compensation products on the market. We operate from our X-Innovation Lab in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Working at X-Laboratory is unlike working at any other engineering company. Prestige, pride, and ego stay at the door. We value true innovation, deep technical curiosity, and a collaborative mindset. Every team member has a stake and a voice in what we build. We aim for engineering excellence and seek people who share our hunger to bring game-changing technology to life. If you see yourself as a doer with strong theoretical foundations, if you learn fast, and if you want to build the future of offshore motion systems—then welcome aboard, friend.

SALARY In mutual consultation, depending on experience, education, and availability. Range from 3000 - 6000 Euro depending on background and education.
