Employment
Full-time (38 hours)

We’re looking for you as an LED Design Engineer!

As a (junior) LED Engineer, you specialize in developing and optimizing LED lighting systems for horticultural applications, such as greenhouses and controlled growing environments.

You combine knowledge of electronics and optics to create light solutions that support plant growth, save energy, and drive sustainability. Guided by experienced specialists, you work across the full process, from concept to prototype and validation.

Tasks and responsibilities

  • Design and test LED modules and drivers for horticulture, with a focus on control features such as dimming and spectral tuning to plant needs
  • Develop optical components, such as lenses and diffusers, to optimize light distribution and uniformity
  • Carry out electrical measurements and optical analyses, both in simulation and in practice
  • Analyze thermal performance, lifespan, and integration of LED systems
  • Support field tests in horticultural environments
  • Collaborate with colleagues in mechanical engineering, software, purchasing, and production
  • Document tests, simulations, and product results
