The role

When an entire office building no longer communicates with the lighting management system. When luminaires fail unexpectedly. When a customer sees a malfunction that no one can immediately explain.

That is when your work begins.

At Signify, we develop smart lighting solutions that make buildings, cities, and industrial environments more intelligent, sustainable, and energy-efficient. Behind that technology are products, software, connectivity, sensors, IoT platforms, and complex systems that must work together perfectly.

As a Customer Support Engineer, you dive into the technical challenge behind the malfunction. You analyze data, search for the root cause, and work together with specialists from various disciplines to realize a lasting solution.

This is no traditional service desk role. This is a role for someone who gets energy from technology, loves solving puzzles, and does not stop until he or she understands why something is happening.

What you'll do

You investigate malfunctions remotely, analyze them, and bring the actual cause to light.

Customers rely on your knowledge when lighting does not do what it should do.

You look beyond the immediate solution. By recognizing trends and recurring issues, you help improve products and processes structurally.

From Quality Engineers to Product Development. Together, you ensure that problems are definitively resolved.

As a Customer Support Engineer, you will:

  • Resolve complex technical issues and provide high-quality support to customers.
  • Analyze product and system failures, identifying root causes and implementing preventive actions.
  • Support customers both remotely and on-site when required.
  • Collaborate with Quality, Engineering, and Business teams to drive lasting solutions.
  • Manage and execute recall activities.
  • Ensure accurate documentation of cases and solutions within our support systems.
  • Proactively identify recurring issues and recommend service improvements.
  • Build trusted customer relationships and advise on additional service opportunities.
  • Contribute to improving service efficiency, effectiveness, and customer satisfaction.
  • This is a full-time position (40 hours per week) based in the Netherlands.

What makes this position interesting?

You will work on:

  • Products used worldwide
  • Connected lighting systems
  • Networks and connectivity
  • Smart buildings and smart city solutions

You are the one who brings technology, the customer, and the solution together.
