The expectations are high. The contribution matters. Working at TYTAN is more than a job, this is a mission. We push boundaries, think big, and hold ourselves to the highest standard. Our mission and values guide everything we do, and we're looking for people who are driven by ownership, embrace challenges, and are energized by meaningful work. If you're motivated by impact and thrive in dynamic environments, you'll fit right in.\nAt TYTAN, we aim to set a global standard in autonomous air defense with AI-driven, cost-efficient systems that counter unmanned aerial threats at scale. We protect people. We protect critical infrastructure. We protect European sovereignty.\nWe are looking for an Aircraft Designer to shape the next generation of our interceptor drones. You will turn operational requirements into interceptor concepts, size and compare configurations, and lead the trade studies that decide what we build. You will own the early design from first sketch to flight test, working closely with our GNC, autonomy, software, electronics and systems engineering teams, and see your designs fly and improve within short iteration cycles.\nYour roadmap to make an impact\nTranslate operational requirements (target drone classes, engagement range, reaction time, altitude band, weather limits) into interceptor concepts\n\nDevelop and compare configurations such as multicopter, fixed-wing, hybrid VTOL, and tube- or rail-launched designs\n\nSize the interceptor for high dash speed, rapid acceleration, high thrust-to-weight, and agility, balanced against endurance and loiter time\n\nRun constraint and mission analysis covering launch, climb, pursuit, terminal engagement, and recovery or expendable use\n\nSize and integrate propulsion: electric motors, propellers, ESCs and batteries, or small turbojets and boosters for faster concepts\n\nProduce first-order aerodynamic, mass, CG, and performance estimates, including turn rates and load factors\n\nPlan packaging and integration of the seeker and sensors (EO/IR, radar), flight controller, datalink, and effector payload\n\nDefine launch and recovery concepts suited to the deployment mode: fixed site, vehicle-mounted, or portable\n\nLead trade studies on cost per intercept, reusability vs. expendability, and producibility at scale\n\nConsider robustness to electronic warfare, GNSS denial, and harsh environments early in the concept\n\nSupport flight testing, use test data to calibrate design methods, and iterate quickly\n\nWork closely with GNC, autonomy, software, electronics, and systems engineering teams\n\nDocument design decisions and support customer presentations, proposals, and tender responses\n\nRequirements\nBachelor’s or Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field\n\nSolid understanding of aircraft design methods, aerodynamics, flight mechanics, and performance\n\nExperience designing small UAVs, ideally multicopter, fixed-wing, or hybrid VTOL\n\nStrong knowledge of propulsion sizing (motors, propellers, batteries, power systems, jet engines)\n\nProgramming skills in Python or MATLAB for sizing tools and trade studies\n\nFamiliarity with tools such as OpenVSP, XFLR5, AVL, or basic CFD\n\nUnderstanding of flight dynamics and simulation, such as 6-DOF models or Simulink\n\nHands-on mindset with prototyping and flight test experience\n\nSystems thinking and the ability to make sound decisions with limited data\n\nClear communication of trade-offs to engineers, management, and customers\n\nAbility to work in a fast-paced startup or defense environment with short iteration cycles\n\nNice to have\nExperience in defense, cUAS, loitering munitions, or target drones\n\nKnowledge of guidance and control, seekers, or autonomous target tracking\n\nExperience with design for manufacturing and low-cost, high-volume production\n\nWhy TYTAN?\nBuild technology with real operational impact: Develop autonomous defense systems designed to protect lives and strengthen Europe’s security\n\nShape scalable defense capabilities: Work on solutions built for mass deployment, cost efficiency, resilience, and reliable production at scale\n\nContribute to networked air defense: Help integrate our systems into multi-layered defense architectures alongside sensors, command systems, and effectors\n\nDevelop for real-world operations: Build capabilities together with end users and improve them continuously based on direct operational feedback\n\nMove fast and take ownership: Work in a focused, high-performance team where decisions are made quickly and individual contributions have immediate impact\n\nDefine a new generation of defense technology: Join early and help shape the products, engineering standards, culture, and direction of a fast-growing deep-tech company\n\nWork with an international mission-driven team: Collaborate with experienced specialists united by the goal of creating sovereign and effective security capabilities for Europe\n\nOur Benefits\nVirtual stock options: Participate in our success through virtual stock options (VSOPs) at the company's current valuation\n\nMonthly allowances: €106/month in flexible benefits including lunch discounts and EGYM Wellpass or shopping credit\n\nRegular health care events: Health check-ups, skin screenings, mental health workshops, and an annual vitamin infusion on us\n\nReferral bonus: Earn a reward when someone you refer joins the team\n\nRegular team events: On- and off-site activities to connect and celebrate together\n\nCorporate discounts: Exclusive employee discounts across a wide range of partner brands\n\nFlexibility: Flexible working hours and hybrid work model, plus a modern Munich office built for focus and collaboration\n\nAbout us\nAt TYTAN, it is more than just a job; it is about embracing autonomy, personal growth, and purpose. Make a lasting impact in the new era of defense! Join us to create a safer world for all.\nWE are an equal-opportunity employer committed to fairness and inclusivity.
