Curated careers: Eindhoven’s most advanced tech startups have multiple openings for highly skilled internationals

Successful startups are key to Eindhoven’s continued dominance as a global tech hub

(Editor’s note: This curation of career opportunities at Eindhoven’s tech startups and venture builder is part of our Tech Tuesday series that also includes the Eindhoven Business Briefing.)

Though the Netherlands hasn’t done a stellar job of taming the pandemic, the Dutch economy has never faltered. And that’s especially true here in Eindhoven, where the tech industry depends on a huge number of highly skilled internationals. Today, we’re looking at career opportunities at some of the Netherlands most promising startups, including HighTechXL alumni, key to the continued dominance of Eindhoven as a global tech hub.

In addition to advanced tech, management, engineering or physics skills, all these jobs require English fluency. Eindhoven has one of the largest expat populations in the Netherlands including its own section of the city, Meerhoven.

All these venture builders and startups are located on High Tech Campus Eindhoven, which has the Netherlands’ largest startup complex.

HighTechXL is searching for a Technology Officer, Netherlands

This is one of the most influential positions in Eindhoven’s startup scene. Venture builder/accelerator HighTechXL is the prime mover in Eindhoven’s startup ecosystem, having produced a number of successful companies since 2015 including robotics pioneer Accerion, Amber Mobility, recycled plastics innovator Sustonable and Bambi Medical.

In 2018, HighTechXL made a dramatic pivot to deeptech in partnership with the Eindhoven Startup Alliance, with technology from CERN, the European Space Agency, Philips and several advanced independent research labs including TNO.

Now, they’re looking for a Technology Officer Netherlands. This is a crucial position, because the technology officer works with the tech scouting team, who liaise with the most advanced labs in Europe assessing new tech HighTechXL then turns into startups.

Candidates should have:

• a deep technical background and experience in, for instance, machine building, high-tech equipment development, photonics, medical device development or other disciplines

• a significant, far-reaching professional network

• experience in building partnerships and organizing projects

• interest in coaching and supporting startups already in the early stages of technology development with technical expertise, networking and mentoring.

With two other members of the tech team, you are responsible for tech scouting, including assessing which technologies are innovative enough to build teams around and will go into the FasTrackathon.

You are the interface with the knowledge and tech institutes, and you enjoy coaching and supporting startups on technical deliverables as they advance through the nine-month venture building program.
