Requirements
What You'll Need
- A background in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Mechatronics, Metalwork, or a related field-certifications and proven experience can substitute where formal education doesn't
- 2 to 5 years of hands-on work in aerospace, UAVs, or MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul)
- Experience with UAVs, flight control systems, avionics, payloads, or communications hardware
- Know-how in quality control systems, health and safety protocols, and regulatory compliance for aerial platforms
- English fluency is key, and if you speak Ukrainian or German, that’s a huge plus
- A steady hand, sharp eye, and obsession with precision
Who You Are
You're hands-on and detail-obsessed, the kind of person who gets satisfaction from building things that matter. You don’t wait for instructions-you take initiative, solve problems, and keep things moving. You collaborate naturally, communicate clearly, and bring energy and accountability to your team. You take pride in your craft and thrive in environments where speed, precision, and purpose align. Most of all, you want your work to make an impact-and at Destinus, it absolutely does.
