Hardware Integration Engineer (Mechanical Systems & Robotics Integration)

• Work in an international, agile team creating the future of autonomous systems
• Grow your career in a expanding and ambitious engineering team
• Build innovative products using state-of-the-art technologies in AI, robotics, and autonomy 
• Benefit from a steep learning curve and continuous development
• Enjoy team events and a strong, collaborative culture

Build and integrate real-world robotic and counter-UAV systems that operate reliably outside the lab. 

What You'll Do 

• Design mechanical assemblies, brackets, enclosures, and mounting solutions using CAD.
• Produce manufacturing drawings and documentation for fabrication and assembly.
• Select, source, and order mechanical and electromechanical components.
• Coordinate directly with suppliers, machine shops, and manufacturing partners.
• Design and integrate systems containing sensors, embedded computers, PCBs, power electronics, and communication equipment.
• Assemble prototypes and production hardware independently.
• Support integration of payloads onto ground vehicles and robotic platforms.
• Work closely with robotics, perception, electronics, and systems engineers to translate requirements into deployable hardware.
• Identify integration issues early and proactively drive solutions.
• Participate in testing and validation activities, ensuring hardware survives real operational conditions.
• Continuously improve designs based on field feedback and lessons learned.

• Strong mechanical design experience.
• Professional CAD experience (SolidWorks, Fusion 360,Inventor, CATIA, Siemens NX orsimilar).
• Creation of detailed 2D manufacturing drawings.
• Experience integrating electronics into mechanical systems.
• Hands-on prototyping, assembly, and workshop experience.
• Understanding of manufacturing methods such as CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, 3D printing, and aluminium structures.
• Ability to work independently with minimal process and supervision.
• Experience in small companies, startups, robotics, automotive, aerospace, UAV, or defense environments.

• UAV, robotics, automotive, or defense experience.
• Basic electronics knowledge (power distribution, PCBs, connectors, sensors).
• Environmental and vibration considerations for deployed systems.
• Supplier and manufacturing management experience.
• Experience integrating cameras, radars, GNSS, antennas, or other sensor systems.

• Builder mentality: you ship working solutions, not theoretical concepts 
• Hands-on ownership: you proactively solve problems, even outside your direct scope 
• Field-driven mindset: you care about what survives real operations, not “lab perfect” 
• High quality bar: you aim for reliability, determinism, and clarity in your engineering 
• Startup drive: you execute fast despite ambiguity, and adapt quickly 
• Mission alignment: genuine motivation to work on defense-relevant, safety-critical robotics 
• Nationality of a NATO member nation or close ally is required
