Process Engineer – Post-Lamination
Process Engineer – Post-Lamination
Engineer the final stage of next-generation solar manufacturing
Do you enjoy improving manufacturing processes where precision, quality and reliability come together? Are you someone who enjoys tackling production challenges using data, engineering expertise and hands-on problem-solving?
We are looking for a Process Engineer who will take responsibility for our Post-lamination production process and help build one of the world’s most innovative solar manufacturing facilities.
At Solarge, we are transforming the solar industry by producing lightweight, all-plastic photovoltaic modules. Our technology enables applications where conventional glass panels are simply not an option. As we continue to scale up production, we are looking for engineers who want to improve processes, optimise equipment and make a measurable impact every single day.
What we offer
Joining Solarge means becoming part of an ambitious and innovative manufacturing company that is shaping the future of sustainable energy. We believe that great engineers deserve the right environment in which to grow, make a difference and enjoy coming to work.
Here is what you can expect:
- Competitive salary between €3,750.00 and €5,000.00 gross per month, depending on your experience and background
- 30 days’ holiday, giving you plenty of time to recharge
- Travel allowance of €0.30 per kilometre or full reimbursement of public transport costs
- An annual vitality budget to invest in your health and wellbeing
- Fresh lunch provided every day
- A sound pension scheme
- A hands-on engineering role with responsibility for an entire manufacturing process
- Plenty of opportunities to develop your technical skills and grow with a rapidly expanding manufacturing company
- The opportunity to work on innovative technology that contributes directly to the global energy transition
What you will be working on
As a Process Engineer, you will be responsible for the entire manufacturing process once the module has left the laminator.
Your remit includes:
- Edge trimming and finishing
- Edge sealing
- Junction box bonding and potting
- Curing processes
- Cleaning
- EL inspection
- Electrical and safety testing
- Final inspection
- Sorting & packaging
Your mission is simple:
Deliver consistent product quality whilst increasing yield, improving OEE and establishing robust manufacturing processes that scale with production growth.
This role combines hands-on engineering on the production floor with structured, data-driven process improvement. You’ll spend time troubleshooting equipment, analysing production data, improving manufacturing stability and implementing sustainable process improvements.
What you will do
- Own and continuously improve all post-lamination processes
- Optimise process parameters and improve process capability (Cp/Cpk)
- Investigate quality issues using structured root cause analysis (8D, 5 Whys, Ishikawa, DOE)
- Design and carry out statistically sound process experiments
- Improve OEE, throughput and first-pass yield
- Reduce scrap, downtime and changeover losses
- Develop SOPs, control plans, work instructions and FMEAs
- Support preventive maintenance strategies and equipment reliability
- Lead the introduction and ramp-up of new equipment and manufacturing processes
- Support the qualification of new materials and product configurations in collaboration with R&D
- Train operators and technicians in process standards and best practices
- Work closely with Production, Quality, Maintenance, Procurement and R&D to continuously improve factory performance
What we are looking for
You enjoy solving manufacturing problems and have the technical curiosity to understand why processes behave the way they do. You are analytical, pragmatic and enjoy seeing the direct impact of your improvements on the production line.
You will bring:
- A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial, Materials or Process Engineering
- 2–4 years’ experience as a Process Engineer in manufacturing
- Experience of working with production equipment and carrying out preventive maintenance (knowledge of CMMS is an advantage)
- Strong analytical and data interpretation skills
- A hands-on approach – you enjoy working on the factory floor just as much as you do behind your laptop
- Experience in electronics, assembly manufacturing or photovoltaic production is an advantage, but not essential
- Fluent in English (Dutch would be an advantage)
- Eligibility to work in the Netherlands (no visa sponsorship available)
Why you’ll enjoy this role
- Take full ownership of a manufacturing process with genuine technical responsibility
- Improve advanced automated production equipment and manufacturing performance
- Solve complex engineering challenges that have a direct impact on product quality and factory output
- Work in a fast-growing high-tech manufacturing environment where your improvements are quickly evident
- Work alongside engineering, operations and R&D to help shape the future of sustainable energy manufacturing
You’ll thrive here if you…
- Like finding the root cause of technical problems
- Enjoy combining data analysis with practical engineering
- Because ownership rather than routine
- Such as improving machinery, processes and manufacturing performance
- Draw inspiration from seeing measurable improvements in quality, efficiency and productivity
If you’re looking for an engineering role where your work directly improves manufacturing performance and helps speed up the transition to sustainable energy, we’d love to meet you!
