At CEYAS, we are developing intelligent automation solutions for on site trailer movements. We combine cutting edge robotics with proven industrial automation to build safe, scalable autonomous systems that operate in real world environments.

We are an early stage startup with a clear mission: to make yard logistics smarter, safer, and more efficient.

As a Test Engineer, you will play a key role in developing, testing, and improving our autonomous system. You won’t just execute tasks, you will think along, propose improvements, and take responsibility.

You Will

Design and implement robotics and control algorithms
Contribute to system architecture and technical decision‑making
Work on real‑world validation and testing
Collaborate closely with hardware and software engineers
Improve system performance, robustness, and safety
Take ownership of technical components from concept to deployment

You are technically strong, pragmatic, and comfortable working in a startup environment where not everything is defined yet.

Requirements

Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a related field
At least 3 years of demonstrable experience as a test engineer or software developer
Solid programming skills (e.g., C++, Python)
Experience with system integration and testing
Familiarity with ROS and GitLab
Understanding of CE marking and automotive safety analysis
Comfortable taking ownership and working independently
Fluent in English and Dutch at B2 level
Possession of a category B driver’s license

You will join a multidisciplinary team of eight engineers who share a passion for building a product that combines cutting‑edge technology with proven automation. You will work on diverse tasks and contribute directly to an innovative solution with real‑world impact. Our startup environment provides ample opportunities for growth, ownership, and personal development.
