Houten, Utrecht, Nederland FORTNA Voltijd

FORTNA is a leading provider of omnichannel and parcel distribution operations solutions.

We partner with the world's top brands to design and deliver intelligent software-powered solutions that optimize fast, accurate, and cost-effective order fulfillment and last mile delivery.

Our team of experts uses innovative approaches and proprietary algorithms and tools to ensure optimal operations design and material and information flow.

We deliver exceptional value to our customers with comprehensive services and products including network strategy, distribution center operational design and implementation, material handling automated equipment, robotics, and a comprehensive suite of lifecycle services.

As a System Engineer at Fortna, you will be responsible for developing logistics (sorting) systems and implementing them at clients' sites.

You will lead projects alongside the project manager, serving as the main technical point of contact.

While involved in all project phases, you will delegate the execution of the functional design across engineering disciplines.

Each discipline will have a lead engineer whom you will guide while they oversee the engineers.

In large projects, you will monitor engineering budgets to ensure everyone stays within them.

Your main tasks will include:

  • Identifying and understanding customer needs at the project outset
  • Brainstorming functional design and determining the technical approach for sorting systems
  • Investigating and incorporating safety requirements, ensuring compliance for CE marking
  • Documenting design using industry-specific 3D modeling programs and functional specifications
  • Implementing safety features and establishing functional acceptance criteria
  • Analyzing acceptance results and iterating for system improvement
  • Conducting client visits approximately once a month in countries like Germany, Denmark, or Italy
  • Presenting, discussing, inspecting, and testing systems during final implementation phases
  • Collaborating within the System Engineering team under a manager
  • Managing multiple projects simultaneously with varying durations
  • Maintaining regular client communication and supporting colleagues
  • Contributing to minor improvement projects within the team

Qualifications and experience include:

  • A completed bachelor's or master's degree in engineering, with experience in mechatronics
  • A highly proactive mindset, thriving on tackling complex problems and coming up with solutions
  • Creative problem-solving skills
  • Knowledge of and experience with technical developments/applications and safety standards
  • The ability to balance customer functional needs with technical quality of systems, considering financial aspects
  • Proficiency in both written and verbal Dutch and English (Dutch is primarily spoken in Houten). Other languages are a plus
  • An organized, efficient, and motivated approach to contributing to Fortna's development
  • Five to ten years of work experience in a technical environment
  • Knowledge of logistics systems is a plus but not required

We offer a versatile, challenging, and varied role where you design, coordinate, organize, optimize, and develop projects independently.

You will join a small, enthusiastic team of colleagues in an informal and flexible organization that strives for further growth.

Our organization is flat and is growing globally, so not everything is set in stone, and we expect you to thrive on that.

Our benefits include 33 vacation days, a solid pension plan, travel allowance, training budget, a bicycle plan, healthy fruit @Work, hybrid working, and various social events with colleagues.
