Junior Mechanical Engineer – Hands-On Innovator
About us
We are an early-stage startup funded by leading European VCs with the mission to build advanced small Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles (UAVs) to strengthen European sovereignty and security. Our focus is on UAV platforms and ground control systems, with plans to expand into maritime, ground, and multi-domain defence systems.
We're looking for a mechanically minded engineer who loves turning ideas into reality. You'll design, build, and refine mechanical systems - from drones to production-ready parts - blending solid engineering principles with practical problem-solving.
You are:
* A graduate or early-career engineer (0–4 years) with a bachelor's or higher in Mechanical Engineering or related field
* Curious, practical, and eager to build, test, and iterate
* Comfortable switching between design software and hands-on bench work
If you're driven to make things work in the real world, we'd love to see your application.
Must-have:
* A project example in your application that shows problem-solving and pragmatism (tell us what you built, why, and what you learned)
* CAD design skills
* Practical experience with 3D printing
* Soldering and hands-on assembly
* The candidate must be eligible to obtain a NATO security clearance.
Would be great:
* SolidWorks proficiency
* UAV piloting skills
* Experience with PX4 or other drone control stacks
* Deeper 3D printing know-how (materials, optimization, troubleshooting)
* Exposure to plastic injection molding and DFM/DFA principles
What we offer
* Competitive salary and equity options.
* High-impact role shaping the perception systems of next-generation UAV platforms.
* Collaborative, innovative startup environment with flexible working conditions.
* Remote work and relocation support available for top candidates.
