Assembly Technician STIR

Say HI* to our Assembly Technician role

At Thales Netherlands, we work on advanced technology for a safer world. Think of radar, communication, and command & control systems for naval vessels, as well as security and payment systems for the commercial sector. Within our production and repair unit for the STIR radar, we are responsible for the complete assembly and validation of these systems—from the smallest sub-assembly to the fully integrated radar installation.

As an Assembly Technician, you will work at the very first assembly station in the production process. Here, you quite literally lay the foundation of our radar system. You will assemble and build the antenna and structure, then align everything into one perfectly functioning whole.

This work is all about precision—fine adjustments, pinning, staking—this is not a place for shortcuts. Your craftsmanship directly impacts the quality of the final product.

In addition, you'll contribute ideas to work preparation and engineering to make our products and processes smarter and more efficient. You may also assist in system testing, support colleagues, or even be involved in prototype development. You're a technician, but above all, you're a team player.

• Assemble complex antenna systems with both static and dynamic components

• Install fine mechanical components (e.g., staking, crimping, adjusting gears and bearings)

• Build mechatronic modules

• Align assemblies according to specifications

• Review documentation and participate in technical reviews

• Organize and plan your own work

• Identify and propose improvements

• Perform first-line maintenance on tools and equipment

• You work with precision and have an eye for detail

• You have experience in fine mechanical assembly, preferably in a high-tech environment

• You can work independently using technical drawings and parts lists

• You have an affinity for electrical assembly, or are willing to learn

• You are solution-oriented, follow procedures, but also recognize opportunities for improvement

• You communicate clearly, are assertive, and remain professional under pressure

• You enjoy collaboration and always prioritize quality

• Fluency in Dutch is required; English is a plus
