About P3 Group

P3 is a leading engineering and technology partner driving digital transformation and operational excellence.

In the rapidly growing drone and advanced aerial mobility sector, we support manufacturers, suppliers, and innovators in solving their toughest engineering challenges — from rotor and propulsion design to energy systems, avionics, structural integration, and scalable production.

We help our clients turn ambitious concepts — multirotor, or hybrid VTOL — into real flying products.

Your Mission

As a Technical Engineer at P3, you will play a key role in the development, integration, and industrialization of diverse drone and UAV platforms.

You’ll work hands-on on mechanical, electrical, and system-level engineering tasks, support prototype builds and testing, and help scale production and supplier networks to enable our clients to bring next-generation aerial vehicles to market.

Your Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and validate propulsion systems (rotor/motor/propeller or electric ducted fan) for multirotor and hybrid VTOL drones
• Support airframe structures and lightweight materials integration across various UAV architectures
• Implement and test battery, hydrogen fuel-cell or hybrid power systems
• Integrate and verify flight control, navigation, and communication systems
• Participate in prototype assembly, ground and flight testing, troubleshooting and iteration
• Contribute to production process development and supplier qualification for UAV components (motors, ESCs, batteries, electronics, avionics, composites)
• Work closely with P3 colleagues and client teams in a hybrid environment (home office, P3 offices, client sites across Europe)

Your Profile

• University degree in aerospace, mechanical, electrical, mechatronics, systems engineering, or a related technical field
• Hands-on engineering experience in drones/UAVs (multirotor, fixed-wing, hybrid VTOL) is ideal, but candidates with experience in aerospace, robotics, or other complex electromechanical systems are also encouraged to apply
• 3–5+ years of relevant experience in R&D, product development, or applied engineering projects
• Solid understanding of CAD, simulation, and testing methods
• Strong problem-solving and technical documentation skills
• Good communication skills in German and English
• Self-motivated, collaborative, and willing to occasionally travel to client sites

What We Offer

• Competitive salary package
• Flexible hybrid work model
• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge UAV technologies with leading industry players and startups
• A culture of innovation, expertise, and teamwork where your ideas are valued
• Clear career growth and learning paths
