Job Summary
You want to help build Europes resilience.
You want to protect people and critical infrastructure ultimately saving the lives of thousands.
You want to work at the frontier of highperformance autonomous systems.
Join us at CDDS to engineer the next generation of high-performance interceptor drones and platforms pushing the limits of speed durability and real-world deployability.
Tasks
YOUR MISSION
We are looking for an exceptional Mechanical Engineer in Robotics to develop our next-generation counter-US interceptor platform. This includes fast prototyping of new hardware testing new sensors and electrical components as well as optimizing the flight performance in real field tests.
You will work closely with perception embedded simulation and control experts: Ensuring your contribution translate directly into field performance.
RESPONSIBILITY
- Assemble modify and maintain multirotor drone platforms for rapid iteration
- Integrate and validate sensors and electrical components on prototypes
- Bring up configure and tune flight control systems for stable and robust missions
- Plan and execute bench tests ground tests and flight tests
- Diagnose and resolve hardware firmware and integration issues discovered during testing
- Perform power vibration and thermal testing to validate system limits
- Iterate designs quickly based on test results failures and changing requirements
Requirements
REQUIREMENTS
- Degree in Automation Robotics Engineering Mechatronics or equivalent.
- 3 years experience in rapid prototyping of robotics systems (design commissioning optimization).
- Proficiency in CAD for mechanical design and rapid iteration (preferably SolidWorks NX Onshape)
- Interest in robotics fast prototyping and manufacturing.
- Proven experience deploying reliable high-availability systems.
- Experience with bench testing HIL tests and field tests.
- Communication & Influence: Excellent written and verbal communication in English.
NICE-TO-HAVES
- Hands-on experience with multirotor drone hardware (motors propellers ESCs power systems)
- Strong understanding of flight control systems and sensor integration (IMU GPS barometer magnetometer)
