Lead systems engineer for autonomous systems

• As lead systems engineer, you team up with the project manager to take responsibility for one or more projects: the PM mostly “budget and time,” you focus on “time and quality.” Through your in-depth knowledge on robotics, AI and navigation, combined with your leadership skills, you will bring projects to a successful conclusion and thereby contribute to the safety of the Netherlands and Europe, now and in the future.

Demcon Defense & Security Systems already has a team working on various aspects of “autonomy” in multiple projects. Due to an increasing number of projects and the roadmap that shows further growth, we are in need of an additional, experienced lead engineer to help guide our projects. You will be responsible for things like:

·        The technical content of projects:

o   Final responsibility for the product

o   Taking important decisions

o   Apply your knowledge and experience of robotics/AI/autonomy in the project

·        Guide the team:

o   Task division and planning (together with project manager)

o   Collaboration, way-of-working

o   Ensuring the team has the right knowledge and skills (together with line manager/group leader)

·        Quality of results:

o   Ensure safety (safety & security)

o   Direct the development process (formulating requirements, designing architecture, oversee testing & verification)

o   Proper implementation/execution of QMS (quality management system)
