Build quality into technology that matters

Are you an experienced Quality Engineer based in Portugal and ready for the next step in your international career? For a leading high-tech company in the Eindhoven region, Xelvin is looking for a Quality Engineer who wants to relocate to the Netherlands and work on complex electronic and electromechanical systems.

In this role, you will be part of an innovative engineering environment where product quality, continuous improvement and technical problem-solving are at the heart of the business. You will work across the full product lifecycle: from development and proto manufacturing to serial production and end-of-life.

This is a strong opportunity for someone who enjoys combining technical depth with stakeholder management, root cause analysis and hands-on quality improvement.

What you will do

As a Quality Engineer, you will be a key figure in improving product and process quality across the organization. You will translate customer expectations into clear internal requirements and make sure quality is embedded in both engineering and manufacturing decisions.

Your responsibilities include:

  • Acting as a key quality contact throughout the product lifecycle, from sales and product development to production and end-of-life.
  • Leading quality discussions with internal teams, customers and external stakeholders.
  • Translating customer requirements into internal standards, processes and ways of working.
  • Leading structured root cause analyses and improvement programs.
  • Driving continuous improvement based on data, trends, quality performance and recurring issues.
  • Supporting product and process design decisions with clear quality input.
  • Working on supplier quality topics, including assessment, improvement and issue resolution.
  • Coaching teams in quality tools, prevention mindset and structured problem-solving.
  • Identifying structural improvement opportunities and taking ownership from analysis to implementation.

What you bring

You are analytical, curious and constructively critical. You do not only want to fix quality issues; you want to understand them, prevent them and improve the system behind them.

We are looking for someone with:

  • A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Applied Physics or a related technical field.
  • Approximately 5–10 years of experience in quality engineering.
  • Experience in a high-tech manufacturing environment, preferably with electronics, electromechanics, complex systems or industrial production.
  • Strong knowledge of quality tools and methodologies such as 8D, 5 Whys, Ishikawa, FMEA, APQP, SPC or control plans.
  • Experience with supplier quality topics.
  • Experience in customer-facing quality discussions, complaints or escalations.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work with different internal and external stakeholders.
  • A hands-on mentality and the ability to influence teams without formal authority.
  • Good communication skills in English.

What Xelvin offers you

Relocating to another country is a big step. Xelvin supports you throughout the process, from finding the right job to arranging the practical steps needed to start your career in the Netherlands.

We offer:

  • A Xelvin contract with a competitive salary and strong employment conditions.
  • A gross monthly salary between €3,900 and €6,500, depending on experience and results.
  • 25 paid holidays in addition to Dutch public holidays.
  • 8.33% holiday allowance.
  • Pension arrangement.
  • Relocation support from Portugal to the Netherlands.
  • Flight to the Netherlands paid by Xelvin.
  • Support with the required documentation to work in the Netherlands.
  • Guidance from our housing consultant in finding accommodation.
  • Career-oriented education, training and courses.
  • A job with long-term perspective at a leading high-tech employer in the Eindhoven region.

Why this role is interesting

You will work in a high-tech environment where quality has a direct impact on innovation, reliability and customer success. The company develops and manufactures advanced technologies used in demanding markets such as semiconductor, medical technology, energy, mobility and industrial applications.

This means you will not work on simple, repetitive quality topics. You will be involved in complex products, technical discussions and improvement programs where your expertise can make a visible difference.
