Engineering Manager, Hardware

We're building the world's largest hydration platform to replace a $1.5 trillion industry controlled by Coca-Cola and Pepsi — companies selling sugar water in plastic. Their model is stuck in the past. We're changing that, from the workplace.

In 2025: #2 fastest growing tech company in the Netherlands (Deloitte Fast50). #30 fastest growing in Europe (Sifted250). We're an AI-native company — AI is how we build, not an afterthought.

Aquablu builds connected water dispensers that sit at the intersection of industrial hardware, embedded software, and IoT, deployed across hundreds of sites and scaling fast. We're at the stage where the engineering organisation needs to grow up: better processes, higher output, without losing the speed that got us here.

As Engineering Manager, you own that. You lead the three engineering pillars: Hardware Engineering, Embedded Software, and Process Development & Industrialization. That means taking products from concept to manufacturing release, building the team and processes to do it repeatedly, and setting a technical bar that attracts and retains great engineers.

You report to the Head of Physical Product. Engineering and Product work tightly together here. You'll have a real voice in what gets built and how, with the autonomy to make technical calls and own their outcomes.
