As Software Lead Engineer/ Technical Lead at NTS Eindhoven, you set the technical direction for our software projects and coordinate the technical work of the engineers assigned to them. Working in collaborative teams of fewer than ten colleagues, you translate project objectives and complex requirements into software architecture, design decisions and executable technical plans.
This is a technical leadership role without line-management responsibility. You lead through technical direction, coordination and coaching, while the Group Lead or Competence Manager remains responsible for people management.
Our teams develop qualification tools, semiconductor equipment, defence and healthcare systems, and other advanced technology solutions. You collaborate closely with software, mechanical, electrical and mechatronics engineers to deliver integrated system solutions that meet high quality standards.
We value clear and transparent communication. You proactively identify technical risks and roadblocks, support the team in resolving challenges and ensure that solutions are delivered in line with project objectives.
- Lead the technical side of software projects, including architecture, design and technical decision-making;

- Safeguard software quality by promoting best practices, code reviews and effective test strategies;
- Identify technical risks and roadblocks early and define and implement mitigation actions;
- Coach and support colleagues technically, encourage knowledge sharing and contribute to continuous improvement;
- Stay close to the code and contribute hands-on whenever required.
