Job Description

Job profile

Are you eager to learn, interested in a combination of IT and engineering, like to puzzle your way into automating user requirements and strive for solid solutions? Then the role of ESO-content engineer will suit you.

Our Company

Vanderlande is the global leader for value-added logistic process automation at airports and in the parcel market, as well as a leading supplier of process automation solutions for warehouses. In this world of technology, we believe in people, especially those who are totally dedicated, customer-driven and keen to continue learning throughout their career.

If you are ambitious and want to take your long-term career seriously, please contact us to explore this opportunity to join a company at the top of its game.

Your department

Engineering Support Office (ESO) supports project engineers by developing and maintaining documentation, technical software, and tooling for our engineering department. The project engineers of Vanderlande use an in-house developed application (ESoT) to design our systems in the most efficient way. In our tooling, the 3D layouts are built by use of our system configurator. By choosing the applicable components for the solution and configuring these, the bill of material is generated and send over to the ERP system to trigger our supply process. Besides that, the system design is the starting point for generating our low-level controls software in our PLC coding. The ESO content team builds the configurable building blocks with all their functionalities.

Way of working in the ESO-content team

Our technology department creates product documentation that describes the capabilities and limitations of our systems. Based on this input, the ESO-content team creates building blocks that consist out of a 3D representation and that is configurable based on parameters. We also program the constraints and checks to guarantee the validity and compliancy of the system.

Your position

Within the ESO content team, the content engineer guides the design process for the digital building blocks. He/she uses the documentation provided by technology and gathers the user requirements to merge those into a 3D-configurable building block. Conflicting requirements, automation and intuitive usage are challenges that you will be confronted with. It is up to you, to deliver the best result in your content. The building blocks you make are bundled in a library that is periodically released, and you need to maintain those already released building blocks.

He/she will be responsible for developing and maintaining the digital building blocks that are used in our engineering software. These blocks represent both visually and control engineering products Vanderlande uses in its systems. This software package supports the various engineering departments around the world in drawing and configuring newly designed systems.

Job Responsibilities/Core Tasks

Designing and creating new blocks, based on product documentation and input from the engineering departments,

Maintaining existing building blocks,

Supporting periodic releases of building block libraries and associated aftercare,

Supporting and sparring with other Content Engineers to implement (changes in) the building blocks,

Support and training of end users in the use of the building block libraries,

Consulting with your peers and the architects of the software development team on new opportunities and requirements of end users,

You will report to the content architect and your line manager.
