Senior Airsoft Product Engineer (Design-for-Manufacturing) (38,5h )

Senior Airsoft Product Engineer at Novritsch: Build the Gear the World Plays With

Novritsch is the world's leading direct-to-consumer airsoft brand, built by players, for players. From our HQ in Vienna, we develop innovative products, manufacture with long-term partners in Asia, and ship to customers in 80+ countries. With a team of 50+ experts managing everything in-house, we move fast, take ownership, and build products we're proud of.

We're looking for a Senior Product Engineer who can take an idea from sketch to a finished product on a store shelf. You'll own the technical side of new airsoft hardware, from early concept and prototyping through design-for-manufacturing and mass production in Asia. If you know how a gearbox actually works, how to design a part so it survives a production line instead of dying in QC, and how to work with a factory instead of just emailing them, this is your role.

What You'll Do

• Design new airsoft products from concept through to mass production, owning the technical outcome end to end

• Apply design-for-manufacturing principles so products are reliable, cost-efficient, and easy to produce at scale

• Work directly with our manufacturing partners in Asia on tooling, prototyping, and production issues

• Solve the real problems: tolerances, material choice, durability, cost per unit, and how to hit deadlines without cutting corners

• Test products yourself and bring a player's understanding of performance into every design decision

• Work closely with Product, Operations, and Marketing in Vienna to make sure what you build actually ships

Who You Are

• An active airsoft player who understands what the community actually wants from their gear

• Deep hands-on experience developing airsoft or similar mechanical consumer products, from prototype to mass production

• Strong understanding of design-for-manufacturing and what it takes to produce reliably in Asia

• Comfortable owning a product technically without needing a team to execute through

• The type who solves problems at the source instead of passing them along

Why You'll Love Working Here

• Real ownership: the products you design are the ones people play with worldwide

• Work on hardware from first sketch to shipping container, not just one slice of it

• A motivated, international team that moves fast and gets things done

• Hybrid flexibility, flat hierarchies, short decision paths

• Up to 50% product discount (max. €1,000/year)

• Subsidized meals + access to Corporate Benefits

• Well connected to Vienna's public transport network

• Final salary is market-based, depending on your experience and qualifications.

Requirements

What You Bring

• You are an active airsoft player who understands airsoft guns, gear and the problems players experience in the field

• Strong hands-on experience developing mechanical products from prototype to mass production

• Very good understanding of mechanical design, CAD, tolerances, materials and manufacturing processes

• Strong knowledge of Design for Manufacturing

• Experience working directly with manufacturers, ideally in Asia

• Ability to independently own the technical development of a product

• Practical problem-solving mindset: you investigate the root cause and fix it

• You are comfortable making technical decisions and taking responsibility for the outcome

• You work fast, communicate directly and know when more testing or analysis is necessary

• Experience developing airsoft, paintball, sporting goods, outdoor equipment, RC, drones, consumer hardware or similar mechanical products is a strong advantage

• English at C1 level or higher

• German is a plus, but not required
