Validation engineer for innovations in design software (Kortrijk, Leuven or Lommel) Job Description

Flanders Make supports manufacturing companies to optimise their design choices. When the product becomes too complex for a design team, Flanders Make researchers develop methods and tools to reduce the number of iterations needed to create a ready-to-manufacture product, speeding up the complex design process. Join our research to develop and validate the newest methods & prototype tools.
