You will work in a fast-paced environment where your contribution shapes how we verify and demonstrate advanced defence systems. If you thrive on innovation and impact - we want to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

• Coordinate configuration changes, from review and approval to implementation and documentation.

• Maintain and improve the Product Data Management (PDM) system to support product development and production.

• Design and develop mechanical systems, assemblies, and components to meet technical requirements.

• Create and maintain engineering drawings, documentation, and technical data.

We Would Love You to Have

• Educational Background

  Master’s degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.

• Experience

  At least 3 years of experience in the design of complex mechanical systems.

• Technical Expertise

  Proficiency in CAD tools, configuration management systems, and the preparation and maintenance of accurate technical documentation.

• Soft Skills

  Strong communication and collaboration skills, with a proactive and solution-oriented mindset.

  Ability to manage multiple priorities and deliver high-quality work in a fast-paced environment.

• Mission Alignment

  Strong alignment with our mission to build affordable and mass-manufacturable defence technologies - ensuring every euro spent moves us closer to our goal.

• Security Clearance

  Willingness to undergo a background check as a condition of employment.

Our Values

Our mission is ambitious, and it takes a team that works with the same intensity.

• Own the Mission: Mission first. Always.

  We choose impact - we focus on what moves the mission forward fastest instead of “nice-to-haves". We fix it now - when delays or problems appear, we step up, rally the right people, and solve them immediately. We keep momentum - when time matters, we stay focused and move forward without waiting for perfect conditions.

• Strive for More: Dare more. Do more. Achieve the impossible.

  We challenge the status quo - we question, test, and improve instead of accepting “the usual way.” We embrace discomfort - we step outside comfort zones and turn challenges into growth. We anticipate the future - we build solutions that scale and set higher standards each time.

• Build with Trust: Be open. Keep promises.

  We walk the talk - what we say, we do. No excuses, no exceptions. We share openly - we communicate clearly and early, even when the news is hard. We own outcomes - we admit errors quickly, fix them, and prevent them from repeating.
