AI & Data Engineer. Data without action is noise.

  • Genk + on site with customers
  • Full-time
  • Dutch and English

At Vlegel, we build the digital engine for the physical world. We bridge IT and industrial hardware, without corporate buzzwords or endless meetings. Just solid engineering from Genk.

Factories sit on mountains of machine data, but little of it leads to better decisions. You change that. No AI demos for show, just models and dashboards a shift leader can use tomorrow.

What you do.

Build the data layer.
You turn signals from PLCs and sensors into a clean data layer: Unified Namespace, historians and time series with clear names and meaning.
From signal to insight.
You build models and dashboards for OEE, quality and energy that operators and managers actually use.
Pragmatic AI.
Detecting anomalies, predicting wear, building an assistant that reads machine data via MCP. AI advises, people decide, and AI never controls the machine directly.
Validate on the factory floor.
You check your model against the machine and with the operator, not just in a notebook.
Explain it clearly.
You translate what the model sees into language a production manager understands.

What you bring.

Strong Python and SQL skills.
You're comfortable with data pipelines, time series and cleaning up messy data.
Experience with ML or LLMs.
You've put something into production, big or small, and know what comes next.
Curious about machines.
You don't need to program a PLC, but you want to know where the data comes from.

Why Vlegel?

Partners in crime.
We work as one team, with our customers and each other. No silos.
No bullshit.
When a problem crops up, we own it and solve it. No finger-pointing.
Real impact.
You build software for real machines you can see in motion.
Room to grow.
A small team with direct communication, training where you need it and projects from sensor to dashboard.

Want to build AI whose impact you can see on a real production line?
