Electromechanical Test Engineer

We are Skytree

Skytree enables a transition to a world with cleaner Air for everyone. We do this by developing and deploying smart technology that captures atmospheric carbon dioxide, enabling its use or storage to combat climate change and aid society and businesses around the world.

Born out of the European Space Agency (ESA), we are a global team of highly talented scientists, engineers and business professionals, supported by an experienced management team. Our working culture is based on a dynamic and smart approach to business with an open and understanding attitude to others and a desire to expand the boundaries of what is possible.

As we enter a new phase of growth, we are looking for a Test Engineer (electrical / mechanical) to continue on this journey with us.

Your role

As Electromechanical Test Engineer you will be part of the Product, Design and Development team and your key responsibility will be to develop a mature way of testing our products. Working closely with other Engineering Teams, you play a vital role in the development, testing and improvement of our product to ensure that it meets market needs. This position comes with a high level of autonomy, problem solving and many opportunities for growth.

You’ll make an impact by

• Designing and building (or being part of building) hardware experimental and test set-ups (electrical/mechanical systems).

• Owning and developing different physical test environments for our products.

• Test & validate against requirement specifications i.e. CO2 production per unit, unit performance and quality, in different conditions.

• Influencing hardware product development regarding design for testability.

• Creating test plans, test reports and professional documentation to be able to enter EU, US and Asian markets and obtain safety and other certification(s) required.

• Running quality investigations (creating 8D reports).

• Active role in the CO2 capture products development.

What we’re looking for

• An educational background in Electrical/Mechanical Engineering or similar field.

• 4+ years of relevant experience focused on testing hardware / machinery (both electrical and mechanical); Having a background mainly focused on electronics testing or HIL, is unfortunately not a good fit.

• You are hands-on, collaborative and have good analytical skills.

• Experience working with LV power (400V AC).

• Ability to design and run product test setup;

• Ability to analyze and interpret data (Excel, Python).

• Gas liquefaction experience is considered an advantage.

• Professional communication skills in English.

• The position requires occasional travel to client locations.

• If you need work permit/visa sponsorship and are 30 years or older, we can unfortunately not offer this position as it will not meet the necessary salary requirement for sponsorship.

What you can expect

Apart from working with great colleagues and a competitive package, you can also expect:

• A unique start-up environment offering organic professional and personal growth at one of the most innovative cleantech companies in Amsterdam!

• A diverse (38+ nationalities) and fun team to work with.

• Travel cost reimbursement (choose from an NS business card, lease bike, or 23ct p/km travel allowance).

• Recharge with 25 vacation days, plus a little extra when life throws something special your way.

• Enjoy the flexibility of hybrid work, with the option to work from home once a week.

• A vibrant office close to the Science Park train station (5 minute walk!), as well as close to the highway.

• Access to the Science Park and Amsterdam University cafeterias (and all the great and healthy meal options).

• Enjoy a free lunch every Thursday, with Skytree picking up the bill, and stick around for after-work office drinks.

• Fun activities, organised by our very own Champagne Committee (e.g. a cooking class or Canal Adventures at the heart of the city centre).

• Stay fueled with tasty fruits and snacks - because work should be enjoyable too!

Note: we can offer work permit / visa sponsorship for exceptional candidates. We, however, currently do not offer a relocation package / remuneration in case you would need to move to The Netherlands for this position. Thanks for your understanding.
