Design it, solder it, break it, fix it — own the whole board.
Before You Hit “Apply”
Tulip Tech isn’t a place where you just sit behind Altium all day. We’re building the future of flying machines — drones and electric aircraft — by reinventing the batteries that power them. That means electronics that are compact, safe, and manufacturable. It’s ambitious, fast-moving, and sometimes messy work.
We don’t have layers of management, decades of legacy schematics, or a big test department to fall back on. You’ll be the one who makes things work: turning schematics into real PCBs, debugging with a scope in one hand and a soldering iron in the other, and designing boards that survive vibration, heat, and high voltage.
We’re small, hands-on, and serious about what we’re doing. If you thrive on solving real-world problems, collaborating across disciplines, and making designs that actually ship, you’ll fit right in.
Your Mission
We’re looking for an Electrical Engineer who combines PCB design skills with a hands-on, no-nonsense mentality. Someone who doesn’t just draw schematics, but builds, tests, and fixes boards until they work.
You’ll design and validate the electronics inside our battery systems. From Altium schematics and PCB layout, to soldering prototypes, to debugging failures in the lab, you’ll own the electrical side of making our batteries real.
This isn’t a “clean handoff to a test team” job. It’s a “build it, break it, fix it” opportunity. From design to bench test to production handover, you’ll make sure our electronics actually fly.
What You’ll Do
- Design and develop BMS circuits, PCBs, and electrical schematics in Altium
- Prototype, solder, and debug boards with lab tools (oscilloscope, power analyzer, JTAG, etc.)
- Perform energy density optimization, cell balancing, and power distribution analysis
- Validate electronics under real-world conditions (thermal, vibration, high voltage)
- Ensure compliance with drone and aviation standards (CE, IEC, UN38.3)
- Collaborate with mechanical, manufacturing, and software teams to integrate systems
- Document technical specifications, test results, and safety protocols
- Help set up electronics design and test processes as we scale from prototypes to production
What You Bring
- Bachelor’s degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or similar
- 5+ years of experience in PCB design and hardware development
- Strong skills in Altium Designer (schematics, layout, BOMs)
- A hands-on mentality: soldering, debugging, and fixing issues yourself
- Experience with power electronics, BMS design, or high-voltage safety principles
- Familiarity with compliance standards (CE, IEC, UN38.3)
- Bonus: experience in embedded systems, EMC testing, or drones/UAVs
What We Offer
- Competitive salary between €4000 – €5.000 gross/month (based on experience)
- 38 paid days off per year based on full-time (25 vacation + 13 ADV via CAO Metaal & Techniek)
- 8% holiday allowance, travel reimbursement, and pension via PMT
- Daily lunch provided by the company
- A startup culture with team outings and events
- Freedom to shape your role and take real ownership
