Shape the electrical architecture behind next-generation semiconductor test equipment. As a System Architect, you define high-power electrical systems, lead critical design decisions and guide engineers from concept to validation. Your expertise directly enables reliable testing of advanced SiC and GaN power semiconductors.

Functieomschrijving

As a System Architect, you will define and further develop the electrical and system architecture of advanced semiconductor test equipment within a high-tech organization in Nijmegen. These systems are used to test and characterize SiC and GaN power semiconductors for demanding applications.

Around 80-90% of your scope focuses on electrical system architecture. You act as the technical authority across the complete engineering lifecycle and provide technical direction to electrical, software and firmware engineers. You combine deep technical expertise with architectural ownership and stakeholder management.

What will you do?

  • Define and maintain the electrical and system architecture for advanced semiconductor test equipment.
  • Translate customer needs, market developments and product roadmaps into functional and technical requirements.
  • Lead electrical design decisions from concept and architecture to detailed design, component selection, validation and verification.
  • Drive high-power electrical and analog design while ensuring integration with digital electronics, software and firmware.
  • Provide technical leadership and coaching to electrical engineers across different seniority levels and international locations.
  • Lead concept studies, proof-of-concept activities and the development of new technologies and building blocks.
  • Identify technical risks, evaluate design trade-offs and ensure compliance with relevant CE and SEMI requirements.
  • Represent the architecture in technical discussions with customers, suppliers, manufacturing partners and other stakeholders.

Vereisten

You are a senior technical expert who can define direction in complex engineering environments. You combine deep electrical knowledge with a system-level perspective and know how to turn customer and market requirements into robust technical solutions. You naturally guide other engineers and can create alignment without relying on formal line-management authority.

In addition, you have:

  • A Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
  • At least 10 years of relevant experience within high-tech equipment, semiconductor test equipment, test electronics or a comparable environment.
  • Extensive experience with electrical system architecture and high-power electronics.
  • Strong knowledge of analog electronics combined with an understanding of digital electronics.
  • Experience across the full engineering lifecycle, including requirements, system design, detailed design, PCB-level decisions, component selection, validation and verification.
  • Proven experience providing technical leadership within multidisciplinary engineering teams.
  • Experience with risk management, technical trade-offs and complex engineering decision-making.
  • Professional proficiency in English and strong stakeholder communication skills.

Arbeidsvoorwaarden

You will work within an international high-tech environment in Nijmegen on technology at the heart of advanced semiconductor development and manufacturing. You can expect:

  • A senior technical position with significant architectural ownership and influence.
  • An initial assignment of 12 months with the possibility of extension.
  • A gross monthly salary between €3.800 and €6.500, depending on experience.
  • 8% holiday allowance.
  • 26 vacation days with the possibility to purchase additional days.
  • Extensive professional development opportunities through the Brunel Academy.
  • A pension scheme and collective insurance benefits.
  • Personal career guidance and support from Brunel.
  • The possibility of transitioning to the client after a successful assignment, subject to mutual fit and applicable agreements.

Brunel Engineering connects experienced technical professionals with leading organizations in semiconductor, high-tech and advanced engineering. Through Brunel, you can contribute your expertise to technically challenging projects while continuing to develop your professional career.
