Become a (Field) Service Engineer at MPS!
Are you a natural troubleshooter who thrives at the intersection of electronics, mechatronics, and software? Do you want to serve as the eyes, ears, and hands for our organization, both at our facility in Groenekan and at customer sites around the globe, to keep flight simulators operational? Then this role as (Field) Service Engineer at MPS is your next career step.
What will you be doing?
As a Field Service Engineer at MPS, your role goes beyond basic maintenance. You will support the complete lifecycle of our advanced flight simulation devices; from initial factory integration tests to global deployments at flight schools and airlines. Your key responsibilities include:
- Maintenance & Troubleshooting: Diagnose and resolve complex hardware, software, and networking issues to keep customer devices operational.
- Installation & Validation: Commission, test, install and validate new simulator systems; execute Factory & Site Acceptance Tests, and support customers through device certification by their local Civil Aviation Authority.
- Upgrades & Modifications: Carry out and integrate on-site hardware retrofits, software updates, and Mid-Life Upgrades (MLU).
- Product Evolution & R&D Feedback: Because you work directly on the equipment in the field, you are the first to spot improvement opportunities. You will provide direct feedback to our engineering and R&D teams to refine future product generations.
Who are you?
You are an independent, customer-oriented engineer who adapts quickly. You understand that downtime for a flight training center is critical, and you won't rest until a problem is solved at its root.
Your profile
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Aviation Technology, or a related technical domain.
- Experience: 2 to 5 years of relevant experience in field service, commissioning, or maintenance of complex, multidisciplinary systems.
- Technical Skills: Solid background in electrical and mechanical systems, combined with strong software/IT literacy (Windows/Linux, Networking, Scripting).

- Global & Flexible: Willingness to travel internationally up to 25% of your time (for system installations, site tests, and customer support), and comfortable working outside standard office hours.
- Languages: Fluent in English (written and spoken). Dutch is a plus.
- Bonus Points: Prior experience in aviation, avionics, or flight simulation gives you an immediate advantage!
