MEMS Engineering Manager

MEMS Engineering Manager - Unity Partners - Vacatures

Unity Partners exclusively on behalf of their partner

Are you ready to take a key leadership role in a fast-growing, publicly listed tech innovator? Our partner is a global leader in MEMS-based timing technology and is expanding their R&D organization in the Netherlands. To support this growth, we are seeking a MEMS Engineering Manager to help scale the team, strengthen technical leadership, and drive next-generation MEMS development.

As MEMS Engineering Manager, you will join an international R&D organisation of ~20 engineers (7 in the Netherlands), expected to grow to 30+ within the next year. You’ll report directly to the local site lead and initially manage a small group (1–2 direct reports), scaling to 5+ as the team expands.

Your role blends technical leadership , people development , and hands-on MEMS expertise . You will contribute to resonator-based MEMS development for high-performance timing solutions and guide multiple active programs while shaping the longer-term technology roadmap.

Lead, coach, and grow a high-performing MEMS development team.

Provide both strategic guidance and hands-on technical contributions in MEMS design, experiments, and characterization.

Quickly evaluate technical proposals and align development efforts with organisational priorities.

Drive the development of new MEMS technologies and enhance existing device performance.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams (circuits, systems, packaging) across global R&D sites.

Engage with external partners and foundries (approx. 10% of the role).

Foster a culture of openness, authenticity, and continuous learning.

Strong expertise in MEMS. Ideally resonator-based timing solutions (gyroscopes, accelerometers, mass/airflow sensors also relevant).

PhD in Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related.

A Master’s degree with 4+ additional years of strong relevant industry experience will also be considered.

Proven experience leading engineering projects and small teams.

Hands-on background in MEMS design, lab work, experiment design, and preferably RF measurements.

Ability to mentor junior engineers and build scalable engineering processes.

Growth mindset, resilience, and comfort with ambiguity.

Passion for solving complex technical challenges in a rapidly growing environment.
