(Senior) Hardware Integration Engineer

• Own the transition from subsystem designs to complete, flight-ready prototypes.
• Lead prototype integration, hardware bring-up and multidisciplinary debugging — catching integration issues before they become flight test problems.
• Stay hands-on across disciplines: PCB modifications, interface boards and wiring harnesses; mechanical prototype components and fixtures; hardware debugging, assembly, rework and rapid prototyping; and embedded bring-up and validation where required.
• Act as the primary Hardware Engineering interface to Flight Test — preparing aircraft for testing, making sure tests answer the right engineering questions, supporting investigation of hardware issues, and driving engineering improvements from the results.
• Build tools and methods that improve hardware development, including board validation firmware, test automation, manufacturing and EOL test solutions, and engineering utilities and instrumentation.
• Own the technical execution of integrating mechanical, electronics, embedded and systems work into validated, flight-ready hardware, so specialist engineers can stay focused on their own disciplines.

• Have hands-on experience integrating mechanical, electronics and embedded subsystems into working hardware — in aerospace, robotics, automotive or another hardware-intensive field.
• Are comfortable debugging across disciplines, from PCB and wiring issues to mechanical fit and embedded bring-up, rather than staying within a single specialism.
• Have experience preparing hardware for test (bench, flight or field) and turning test results into concrete engineering fixes.
• Can build your own tools and test infrastructure — firmware, automation, fixtures — rather than relying on others to provide them.
• Want a deeply hands-on engineering role, not a project or people management position.
• Communicate well across engineering disciplines and can work effectively with specialist teams without owning their subsystem designs.

• Prior experience integrating hardware for UAVs or other flight-critical systems.
• Experience building test automation, board validation firmware, or end-of-line (EOL) test tooling.
• Comfortable acting as the bridge between mechanical and electrical engineering — translating between the two disciplines and driving that collaboration through to a working prototype.

• Real impact & ownership: Shape high-tech defense systems and take responsibility from day one.
• Mission-driven environment: Work on technologies that matter for European security and sovereignty.
• Competitive package: Competitive salary, EGYM Wellpass, corporate benefits, and equity options aligned with role and level.
• Deep tech environment: Get hands-on experience with cutting-edge drone technology and real operational use cases.
• Grow fast: Steep learning curve for juniors, strategic influence and leadership opportunities for seniors.
• Startup mindset meets defence innovation: flat hierarchies, fast decisions, and space for your ideas.
• Flexibility: Flexible hours, remote options, and relocation support.
• Strong team: International, driven colleagues and a culture built on exchange, trust, and shared success.
