Vacancy: Software engineer

Hi, I'm Guus!
Does this position suit you? Then send me an email with your CV and motivation!
Software Engineer
Build technology that works. Literally.
At Van Made, we devise smart automation solutions that make production easier at our customers. Think of complete packing lines, palletisers or handling modules. Reliable, watertight and flexible software is central to this. That is why we are looking for a software engineer who likes to help build technology that does what it is supposed to do, without fuss.
What you will do.
As a software engineer, you will program machines and modules that we build and install ourselves. From drafting logic software, designing HMIs, testing and commissioning our solutions.
-
PLC programming of customer-specific machines and cobots/robots
-
Thinking along in technical feasibility and optimisation
-
Collaborate with fellow software engineers, engineering, workshop and project managers
-
Supervising delivery and installing / commissioning on-site at home and abroad
-
Collaborate on smart solutions that make production smarter, faster and lighter
What we ask of you.
-
MBO+/HBO working and thinking level, preferably in the direction of mechanical engineering or mechatronics
-
You have experience with PLC programming or are open to learning this
-
You think solution-oriented and practical
-
You like technology, but also just doing it
-
You like working in an environment where everything moves quickly and everyone is directly approachable
What you get from us.
-
Working on real solutions that work for customers
-
Everything in-house: with us you experience the entire mechanical engineering process
-
Lots of freedom, personal responsibility and short lines of communication
-
A young, technical team building smart systems together
-
Market salary and good working conditions
-
Cosy working atmosphere, Friday afternoon drinks and room for your ideas
With us, you are not a number. You have impact from day one. And you build solutions you can be proud of. Together with colleagues who know what they are talking about.
👋 Sound good? Great, we'd love to hear from you.
Send your CV or LinkedIn profile to tencate@vanmade.nl or call us for an introduction. Or even better: drop by for a cup of coffee and a tour of the workshop.

Software Engineer
Smart systems start with smart software.
At Van Made, we develop automation solutions that really work. From case packers and palletisers to complete packing lines. And that is only possible if the software is just as reliable as the mechanics. That is why we are looking for a software engineer who enjoys overview, smart solutions and systems that run flawlessly in practice.
What you will do.
You will develop the software that controls our machines and makes them work together. You work in close coordination with our mechanical engineers and fitters and receive direct feedback from the workshop. From drawing up I/O diagrams to on-site testing: you ensure that technology lives.
-
Writing and implementing PLC software
-
Working with HMI visualisations, controlling motors, sensors, robots and IO
-
Thinking along in machine architecture and safety
-
Testing, adjusting and sometimes commissioning on site
-
Close cooperation with engineering and workshop
What we ask of you.
- MBO+/HBO working and thinking level, preferably electrical engineering, mechatronics or industrial automation
- Experience with PLC programming (Siemens TIA, Omron or similar)
- You think in solutions, not in rows of code
- You enjoy consulting with colleagues in the field
- You like smart technology, but also overview and structure
What you get from us.
- Projects from A to Z, which you actually see running yourself
- Fast switching and short lines - we build everything in-house
- Lots of responsibility and freedom in how you work
- A team where technology and cooperation go hand in hand
- Market salary, training opportunities and a good work-life balance
- Cosy working atmosphere, Friday afternoon drinks and room for your ideas
Because you make an immediate difference here. No endless projects with ten layers of decision-making. Just building smart software for systems that run at customers who feel the difference. Together with colleagues who understand that technology only works if you keep it simple.
