R&D Manager

What does your day look like?

As a manager of research and development, you play a crucial role in leading and guiding our innovative and sustainable projects.

• Keeping projects on track: you manage our R&D projects from concept to delivery. You ensure structure, monitor the schedule and budget, and work towards a targeted market introduction.
• You lead and coordinate our R&D department. You directly manage the hardware/firmware engineers and work closely with the Software Lead to ensure hardware development and software are synchronized.
• Tackling issues: Is a project facing delays or a technical risk arises? You act quickly, make decisions, and take the necessary actions to get everything back on track.
• Building bridges: You are the no-nonsense link between R&D and other departments such as product management, production, and support. You keep communication open, clear, and direct.
• Contributing to growth: You actively think about the technical future of Qbus. You report pragmatically on progress and identify opportunities or bottlenecks early.

Our ideal candidate?

• You preferably have an industrial engineering education and have good knowledge of electronics/hardware and PCB design.
• You have experience with using project management software, e.g., Wrike or Jira.
• You have experience leading a development team.
• You are a proactive, communicative team player who combines a helicopter view with decisiveness.
• You have a strong affinity with technology and like to stay updated on the latest developments in our field.
