UAV Hardware

Your mission

• Build, wire, and integrate electro-mechanical UAV subsystems (power, sensors, control modules)
• Set up and optimize lab-based production and assembly workflows
• Dimension and assemble low-voltage electrical systems (fuses, connectors, EMI filters, converters)
• Diagnose and repair UAVs returned from field missions; document and implement permanent fixes
• Deliver detailed build, wiring, and repair documentation for production and maintenance teams
• Train team members on hardware assembly, troubleshooting, and repair procedures
• Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and software teams to ensure full system integration
• Support field deployments, perform on-site repairs, and implement quick design improvements
• Iterate continuously to improve robustness, maintainability, and reliability of UAV systems

Your profile

• Background in mechatronics, robotics, or electro-mechanical engineering (degree or equivalent experience)
• Proven hands-on experience assembling, wiring, and repairing UAVs, drones, or robotic systems
• Strong practical background with RC aircraft, FPV drones, or quadcopter builds (personal or extracurricular projects are a huge plus)
• Skilled in soldering, crimping, cable routing, and connector selection
• Familiar with DC power systems (batteries, converters, fuses, surge protection, EMI)
• Comfortable interpreting or modifying mechanical CAD (e.g. SolidWorks, NX) for assembly purposes
• Experience with mechanical integration, fasteners, adhesives, and mounting in tight spaces
• Skilled in troubleshooting and using diagnostic tools (multimeter, oscilloscope, current clamp)
• Clear and consistent documentation skills for builds, tests, and repairs
• Pragmatic problem-solver with a focus on building reliable, testable, and field-ready hardware
• Nationality of a NATO member nation or close ally is a must
• Successful candidates will be required to obtain security clearance

META

• Intrinsic motivation, attention to detail, and strong problem-solving mindset
• Creative thinker with a structured and systematic approach
• Humble and collaborative — prioritizes collective success over individual recognition
• High ethical standards and disciplined work ethic
• Extra-curricular leadership or achievements are a bonus
