Senior Electronics Engineer

We’re on a mission to accelerate the energy transition with sustainable home energy for all and it’s our goal to help 3 million households transition by 2030. That is why we're seeking a highly motivated and ambitious person that’s not afraid to make their hands dirty and make a real dent in the climate change challenge that we are already facing. Are you ready to rise to the challenge?

As a Senior Electronics Engineer, you won't just design products — you'll be shaping the future of home heating solutions. From heat pumps to cutting-edge cooling devices, you'll be at the forefront of developing a full ecosystem of sustainable energy solutions. If you're driven by the challenge of combating climate change and thrive in a hands-on, innovative environment, this role is for you.

What you’ll do:

• Lead the development, execution, and delivery of electronic components for our revolutionary home heating systems.

• Be accountable for steering the full-cycle development with third-party manufacturers of our electronic components, from concept to end-of-life.

• Accountable for our IoT roadmap, ensuring proper selection of Cellular and WiFi technologies, among others.

• Ensure that design principles for IoT solutions are adhered to, including measures to reduce noise and interference. These measures encompass proper grounding, strategic component placement, maintaining signal integrity, employing shielding techniques, designing robust power supplies, among other design choices.

• Develop system-level requirements and key component selection for electric/electronic systems.

• Challenge design decisions from suppliers and ensure worst-case analyses are conducted during the development phases.

• Collaborate closely with software embedded and mechanical engineers to achieve integrated and optimized system designs.

• Create electrical design validation plans with component/system suppliers.

• Support prototype builds as well as volume production startup.

• Ensure designs meet high-volume PCBA quality standards.

• Lead and guide compliance to European standards from prototype phases (e.g., Radio Equipment Directive).

• Aid in the design of electrical verification testers and end-of-line testers.

• Support hardware root cause analysis for problems in the field.

• Be accountable for the documentation and release process for all electronic equipment.

• Support the project manager in tracking project targets with respect to timeline and budget.

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics Engineering or a similar field.

• A minimum of 8 years of experience in electronics engineering, with HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) industry experience considered a significant advantage.

• Strong understanding of the full cycle of PCBA development.

• Strong expertise in IoT, especially in cellular and WiFi technologies, experience with Zigbee, Thread and RF are highly desired.

• Experience with change management and product lifecycle management.

• Exceptional problem-solving skills with keen attention to detail.

• A self-starter mentality with a willingness to take ownership and drive projects forward.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with fluency in English.

About Quatt

Quatt is an ambitious scaleup that was founded in 2021 by two entrepreneurs and brothers from the Netherlands. Our goal is to accelerate the transition to sustainable heating in the Netherlands and abroad. Our first product is a smart, hybrid heat pump for the Dutch market.

The Dutch government is strongly incentivizing 8 million homeowners to get rid of natural gas and start heating sustainably within the next few decades. Unfortunately, the current pace of heat pump installations is far too low. Therefore, Quatt is improving the overall customer experience, adding smart control software, simplifying the installation job and, last but not least, greatly enhancing the aesthetics. By doing so, we want to increase adoption by an order of magnitude.

We are developing a highly advanced control system based on several AI technologies, like Machine learning and Deep learning. This system enables us to operate our heat pumps, in conjunction with already installed natural gas heaters, in the most cost- or energy-efficient way, at any given day. We estimate this can reduce heating costs by about 20%. By combining this with D2C sales & installation, Quatt is aiming to reach a payback time of 3-4 years; and thus a very quick uplift in sales.
