Mechatronics Verification Engineer

You are naturally curious and enjoy understanding complex technical systems. You like asking questions, investigating the root cause of technical challenges, and combining theory with hands-on experimentation. Designing experiments, analyzing data, and translating technical insights into clear recommendations is what motivates you.

You also enjoy working closely with colleagues from different engineering disciplines. You don't need to be a specialist in every area, but you are excited by the opportunity to connect software, electronics, and mechanics to understand how complete systems work.

In addition, you recognize yourself in most of the following:

• A bachelor's or master's degree in Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Agricultural Engineering, or a comparable technical discipline.
• Experience in a technical or mechatronics environment. Several years of experience is an advantage, but we mainly value your technical foundation, curiosity, and potential to grow.
• An interest in working at the intersection of software, electronics, and mechanics, with the ambition to understand complete systems.
• Experience designing experiments, analyzing test results, and translating data into well-supported technical recommendations.
• Strong communication skills in both Dutch and English, enabling you to share insights effectively with colleagues from different disciplines.
• A valid driver's license (Category B), allowing you to visit test locations or customers when required. Experience with Python, LabVIEW, Real-Time Linux, microcontrollers, or FMEA is considered an advantage but is not required.

Don't meet every requirement but excited about the role? We'd still love to hear from you. We're particularly interested in your curiosity, technical mindset, and motivation to help develop reliable robotic systems for the future of dairy farming.

Working at Lely means contributing to sustainable progress within one of the most innovative organizations in the Netherlands. You help make the agricultural sector more futureproof, and we ensure you have the space, resources, and support to do so.

• An international work environment that values collaboration, initiative, and diverse perspectives.
• A culture that encourages learning, experimentation, and ownership of ideas.
• Excellent employment conditions, including up to 8 weeks of vacation per year and a strong pension scheme.
• A Medior Salary range of €5,000 - €7,100 gross per month, with clear opportunities for growth within the scale.
• Full ownership of your own development, with access to a wide range of courses through the Lely Academy.
• Daily access to outstanding sports facilities at the Lely Campus: an indoor gym, outdoor padel courts, basketball and volleyball courts, table tennis, and table football. You can join Hyrox workouts or sign up for personal training and challenge your colleagues during an active break.
• Fresh coffee and tea from our own barista (with milk from our own farm) and a healthy, affordable company restaurant.

Work-life balance

• A healthy work-life balance thanks to our hybrid working policy: you work at least three days a week on Campus, with flexible hours and plenty of opportunity to spend additional time onsite (between 06:00 and 20:00).
• A free shuttle bus that takes you to and from the metro station in Maassluis, ensuring your workday starts and ends smoothly.
• And of course: we love to celebrate! Whether it’s an anniversary or the annual Christmas party. At Lely, we know how to do it.

We are also proud that our vision and efforts have been recognized with the Rotterdam Entrepreneurs Award 2025.
