**D-NETWORK is looking for an IT Engineering Manager for an International Healthcare Technology Company based in Mechelen.**
**The Opportunity :**
Our client is investing heavily in the foundations of its engineering organisation, and is looking for an Engineering Manager to lead teams within its desktop software platforms group during a major modernisation phase.
The programme covers:
* Repeatable, container-based build environments
* A single, harmonised CI/CD pipeline
* Modernisation of the software architecture
* Reinforced cybersecurity practices
* Stronger release governance
* Delivery scaled across several sites in Europe and Australia
This is a technical people-leadership position. You are accountable for outcomes (team capability, delivery predictability, quality and compliance) rather than hands-on coding or project management. Your leadership directly shapes the organisation’s ability to ship safe, dependable clinical software worldwide.
**Key Responsibilities**
* Recruit, lead and develop high-performing engineering teams building clinical desktop software
* Bring clarity and stability to a complex, regulated environment
* Secure predictable delivery through disciplined planning and early risk identification
* Raise engineering standards across CI/CD, testing, documentation and quality practices
* Ensure compliance with architectural patterns and regulatory expectations
* Work closely with Architecture, DevOps, QA, Regulatory, Product and Delivery teams
* Drive continuous improvement while reducing technical debt and legacy complexity
* Foster a culture where quality, safety and accountability are the default
**Your Profile**
* 10+ years of professional experience in software engineering, including at least 3 years in engineering leadership or people-management roles
* Proven track record leading teams that deliver complex, long-lived production software where reliability, quality and risk management are critical
* Strong people-leadership skills: hiring, coaching, feedback and performance management
* Solid technical foundation, allowing you to engage credibly with architects and senior engineers
* Familiarity with modern engineering practices: CI/CD, automation, DevOps
* Comfortable operating in a global, multi-site organisation
* Clear communicator with sound judgment, ownership and calm leadership under pressure
* **Strong plus:** experience in medical devices, healthcare or another regulated, safety-critical or quality-driven environment
**Education**
* Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical & Computer Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline
* Other engineering backgrounds considered with substantial, demonstrable professional software development experience
* A rigorous engineering foundation is required; this role is not suited to non-engineering profiles
**Languages**
* Fluent professional English (spoken and written) is mandatory
* Dutch and/or French is an advantage but not required
**Contract**
Permanent employee contract only (no freelancers for this opportunity)
**What We Offer**
* Attractive salary plus bonus
* Company car (or equivalent)
* Pension plan, insurance coverage and additional benefits
* Meal vouchers
* Mobile phone, smartphone and laptop
* Hybrid working: 60% on site, 40% from home
