Projects
We’ve had the pleasure of working on a variety of different projects. For each project we started directly by taking an idea and then designing, developing, and fine-tuning it into a seamless and elegant end product.
SleepAssist
The SleepAssist is an innovative, non-intrusive, sleep apnoea treatment option, made by The Sleep Company. By integrating a printed electronics sensor network and AI-powered algorithm, which analyses users' sleeping position, Vention’s hard- and software enables the SleepAssist to provide stimuli to the user at just the right moment. This significantly a night’s sleep, both in quality and comfort.
Furthermore, using our Wockel development platform, Vention facilitates data gathering during trial testing phases, accelerating AI training and sensor network development.

Goelst G-Motion
With G-Motion, Goelst has developed one of the most versatile curtain rail systems available world-wide. The modular system architecture enables limitless configurations and layouts, ensuring compatibility with nearly all operating input methods imaginable.
As a design partner for the systems' electronics and software, Vention continuously explores new technological opportunities to innovate user interaction, adding features and functionality to improve performance even further.

Plasmacure
The Plasmacure PLASOMA is a medical device designed to heal wounds that are or could become chronic. In the electronic pad a cold plasma is created that kills bacteria and promotes wound healing. We co-developed the plasma pulser to be consistent, efficienct and safe to use, taking into account optimal safety measures and medical certification requirements.

Smart Cue
Cue2Walk has developed an innovative approach to support people with Parkinson's in dealing with the Freeze of Gait symptoms, significantly improving quality of life. The system analyses the users' walking patterns and detects an upcoming FoG. The system responds by sending a Cue (trigger) at just the right moment, which snaps the patients out of the freeze.
Using the Wockel development platform, a fully functioning product demonstrator was up and running within a matter of weeks, which enabled Cue2Walk and Vention to prove both the product potential and technological feasibility. The result: concept validation and field results at a very early stage, accelerating time-to-market by identifying key development areas.

Solutions
We’ve had the pleasure of developing on a variety of different solutions.
Wockel
Wockel is a state-of-the-art IP platform and is ready to create your custom product upon. Wockel is the perfect basis for the development of (battery powered) Bluetooth Smart (BLE) sensor and actuator-based products. By bringing together sensors, battery management, microcontroller, and Bluetooth communication in one place and linking it to a customized application, the Wockel enables developers to almost immediately start their product concept validation, ideally suited for demonstrator purposes or trial testing.

Project Manager (32-40 hours/week)
Something about us:
At Vention we develop products and solutions for our customers. We develop a wide range of technical products for many different types of customers. Our products range from smart mousetraps to revolutionary medical devices to cure previously unhealable wounds, and everything in between! For our products, our embedded software engineers create custom algorithms that run on the self-built electronics built by our hardware engineers. These products often feature a combination of wireless connectivity and sensor technology and we design most products from start to finish; from conceptual sketches to (mass) production. We work together with our clients to turn their dreams into reality, rather than doing it for them. In doing so, we combine the customer’s domain-specific expertise with our own technical expertise, resulting in an efficient and close collaboration with innovative, state of the art end products. Our team consists of ambitious engineers with a great passion for technology. Even though we’re not a start-up anymore, we still have the easy going, friendly start-up mentality. We lunch together with the entire team, we have flexible working hours and organize fun teambuilding activities!
The challenge:
We are looking for someone who can help us with: • Carefully putting together the project teams and monitoring and adjusting the effectiveness and efficiency of our teams and their working methods (resource planning) • The initial definition of an action or project plan, including the conditions and objectives set. • Planning and controlling the capacity, costs and budgets within the project in relation to the agreed milestones and objectives • Supporting the Technical Lead in drawing up a detailed plan for the technical execution of the project. • Managing and supporting the project team members, including defining and dividing the tasks and responsibilities within the project • Being thoroughly involved in the project from the very start until the very end. You will be the main point of contact for the customer and our project team, which requires that you have clear communication skills. • Monitoring the quality of the input and output of the project.
Who are you?
• You enjoy working with innovative technologies and know how to transfer this passion towards our customers and potential new clients. • Your drive and result-oriented approach fits perfectly within our team of engineers. Also, you have more than enough perseverance, as it is a challenge to manage projects where we are creating products that have never been created before. • You bring people together to make this happen. • Energy and creativity are key characteristics that describe you and the projects you lead.
