Remote Policy

On-site

  • Work in an international, agile team creating the future of autonomous systems
  • Grow your career in a expanding and ambitious engineering team
  • Build innovative products using state-of-the-art technologies in AI, robotics, and autonomy 
  • Benefit from a steep learning curve and continuous development
  • Enjoy team events and a strong, collaborative culture

Build and integrate real-world robotic and counter-UAV systems that operate reliably outside the lab. 

You will own the mechanical integration of sensors, electronics, embedded computers, and vehicle-mounted hardware, transforming concepts into fully assembled and operational systems. From CAD design and supplier coordination to hands-on assembly and field integration, you will ensure our platforms are robust, maintainable, and ready for deployment. 

This is a highly practical role for someone who enjoys building, testing, troubleshooting, and delivering complete systems rather than working within narrow engineering boundaries. 


What You'll Do 

  • Design mechanical assembliesbrackets, enclosures, and mounting solutions using CAD.
  • Produce manufacturing drawings and documentation for fabrication and assembly.
  • Select, source, and order mechanical and electromechanical components.
  • Coordinate directly with suppliers, machine shops, and manufacturing partners.
  • Design and integrate systems containing sensorsembedded computers, PCBs, power electronics, and communication equipment.
  • Assemble prototypes and production hardware independently.
  • Support integration of payloads onto ground vehicles and robotic platforms.
  • Work closely with robotics, perception, electronics, and systems engineers to translate requirements into deployable hardware.
  • Identify integration issues early and proactively drive solutions.
  • Participate in testing and validation activitiesensuring hardware survives real operational conditions.
  • Continuously improve designs based on field feedback and lessons learned.
  • State Certified Technician (Staatlich geprüfter Techniker) in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics or Industrial Engineering, or 
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics or a related field
  • Equivalent technical qualifications with strong hands-on industry experience will also be considered.
  • Strong mechanical design experience.
  • Professional CAD experience (SolidWorks, Fusion 360,Inventor, CATIA, Siemens NX orsimilar).
  • Creation of detailed 2D manufacturing drawings.
  • Experience integrating electronics into mechanical systems.
  • Hands-on prototypingassembly, and workshop experience.
  • Understanding of manufacturing methods such as CNC machiningsheet metal fabrication, 3D printing, and aluminium structures.
  • Ability to work independently with minimal process and supervision.
  • Experience in small companies, startups, robotics, automotive, aerospace, UAV, or defense environments.
  • UAV, robotics, automotive, or defense experience.
  • Basic electronics knowledge (power distribution, PCBsconnectorssensors).
  • Environmental and vibration considerations for deployed systems.
  • Supplier and manufacturing management experience.
  • Experience integrating cameras, radars, GNSS, antennas, or other sensor systems.
Candidates who have personally designed, sourced, assembled, and tested complete systems will stand out.
  • Builder mentality: you ship working solutions, not theoretical concepts 
  • Hands-on ownership: you proactively solve problems, even outside your direct scope 
  • Field-driven mindset: you care about what survives real operations, not “lab perfect” 
  • High quality bar: you aim for reliability, determinism, and clarity in your engineering 
  • Startup drive: you execute fast despite ambiguity, and adapt quickly 
  • Mission alignment: genuine motivation to work on defense-relevant, safety-critical robotics 
  • Nationality of a NATO member nation or close ally is required
