Jobbeschreibung

Do you want to work on a New Class of Drones? Our product universe spans three different platforms with maximum take-off weights of up to 1000 kg and characteristic dimensions of 8 m: The hexacopter Grille for medical evacuation, the multi-role rotorcraft Wespe for logistics and support operations, as well as the fixed-wing drone Bussard for surveillance and intelligence missions. All systems are powered by RasCore, our highly redundant, military-grade avionics system for safe operations within EASA’s Specific Category. Three aircraft, one mission: to bridge the gap between small UAVs and traditional manned systems.

The Aerospace Production Specialist – Prototyping is responsible for the assembly, integration, and testing of early-stage and pre-production unmanned aircraft systems (UAS).

This role supports the development of innovative UAS that are certified according to EASA’s Specific Category by building high-quality prototypes, implementing design changes, and ensuring that all work is performed in accordance with aviation-oriented maintenance principles and internal quality procedures.
