You collaborate across all levels of the organisation always with a focus on quality, reliability, and customer success. You also exchange best practices and ideas with counterparts globally, across the Group, and maintain networks of subcontractors in the field of electronics.

The Electronics Engineer reports directly to the New Product Development Manager and works within a multidisciplinary engineering team alongside mechanical, analytical, software and firmware specialists. You collaborate with Product Management, Project Management and Marketing teams of the PAC Group, as well as the Sustaining, Purchasing, Quality, Production and Service teams of Rotterdam and across PAC.
