R&D at Locinox

At Locinox, we don’t do copy-paste engineering. We don’t build things “because that’s how we’ve always done it.” We build things better. That’s how we design, develop, test and improve products that make a real difference in access control worldwide.

Our R&D department is the beating heart of that innovation. Here, you get the freedom to make ideas into reality, but also the impact of a fast-growing international company. No heavy structures. No silos. Just one team, building better together. Will you become a Builder of Better too?

Why R&D engineers think working at Locinox is a great idea

Innovation that truly matters

We develop products that don’t exist yet and are built to last for years. Products that make a difference not only for professionals, but also for people in wheelchairs, for example.

Freedom to act, room to excel

From first sketch to production. You help shape and develop ideas from A to Z. You get room to experiment, learn and leave your personal mark.

The perfect mix

The agility of a smaller team, combined with the resources and impact of a larger company. And your work literally forms the foundation of our further growth.

Worldwide impact

Our work shines in some pretty impressive places around the world: from the tennis courts of Roland Garros to American universities and even the Sydney Zoo.

No egos, just team spirit

Together, we keep going until it’s great, until our customers say “wow”. Monthly drinks, sports activities and team buildings create a unique atmosphere. The pool table and dartboard make lunch so enjoyable that we sometimes even forget to eat our sandwiches.

Your future team

Our R&D team is a healthy mix of young talent and proven expertise. Junior or senior? Doesn’t matter. Good ideas always win.

And yes, we are true Builders of Better. We work closely together, share knowledge and challenge each other to come up with the best solutions. No hierarchical barriers, just open dialogue, trust and cross-pollination. Mechanics, electronics, production, testing, processes… we have everything and everyone under one roof in Waregem.

Magnus

What will you work on in R&D at Locinox? Magnus for example. Magnus perfectly represents what R&D at Locinox stands for.

It’s a clean, motorised gate closer that looks elegant on the outside, but is packed with technology on the inside. Compact, vandal-resistant and extremely user-friendly.

“I installed the Magnus in my own garden. That way, I see my creation in action every day.” – Ivo

Why Magnus was such a challenge:

  • Extremely compact motor and gearbox design
  • High demands in terms of torque, durability and back-drivability
  • Combination of existing technology with completely new solutions
  • Intensive calculations, testing and optimisation

What the user experiences:

  • Light manual opening, powerful and reliable closing
