Jobbeschreibung

Grob Aircraft has been designing and building aircraft in Bavaria for decades - from trainers and composite airframes to some of the most advanced aeronautical structures in the world. Engineering excellence and precision manufacturing are what we do.

Together with Helsing, our mother company and Europe’s leading defence AI company, we are now taking on our most ambitious programme yet: the CA-1 Europa, Europe’s first AI combat aircraft. This is not a study or a roadmap. We are designing, building, and testing - right now, right here.

We are a hands‑on team of engineers who build things that fly. We take pride in short paths from idea to prototype, in solving hard problems pragmatically, and in seeing our work take to the sky. We are looking for people who think the same way - and who understand that this work matters for the security and sovereignty of Europe.

The Day-to-Day

• Drive the technical integration of system architectures, owning the implementation of sensor fusion, actuator management, and redundancy monitoring.
• Own the execution of key system integration and verification activities on our HIL and Iron Bird test rigs. Prepare and maintain critical technical deliverables, including integration plans, test procedures, and analysis reports.
• Generate critical verification evidence and compliance documentation to support the certification effort.
• Work closely with control law designers, systems engineers, and hardware teams to resolve complex integration issues.
• Report on integration progress and technical findings to the Lead Engineer.

You Should Apply If You…

• Hold a relevant degree such as a Master’s in Aerospace or Control Systems Engineering.
• Have 8+ years of significant, hands‑on experience in the design, integration, and verification of flight control systems, particularly on FBW programs.
• Have expert‑level knowledge of ARINC 653, AFDX, and real‑time embedded software, with proven project delivery under DO‑178C DAL A/B.
• Have direct experience working with certification authorities and supporting the generation of compliance data. Have strong practical skills in HIL testing (e.g., dSPACE, NI) and a deep understanding of the full verification lifecycle.
• Possess excellent communication skills in English, with professional proficiency in German (B2+) being a strong advantage. Hold or are eligible for a national security clearance.

What We Offer

• Your systems will fly on real aircraft. Direct collaboration with Helsing’s AI and autonomy teams.
• 40‑hour work week, flexitime, 30 vacation days.
• Company pension plan, accident insurance, disability insurance subsidy.
• Fly the Grob G115 in your free time (PPL holders) and access to the Grob flight simulator.
• Subsidised lunch, EGYM Wellpass, corporate benefits platform.
• Short decision paths, open leadership, no unnecessary bureaucracy.
