About the Venture

A European deeptech venture is on a mission to strengthen food security and defence through a next-generation modular platform. Operating in a fast-paced, R&D-driven environment, this early-stage company is building its foundational team, with a focus on autonomy, rapid iteration, and impactful engineering.

You'll work closely with the leadership team and contribute to every stage of product development : from understanding end-user needs through to prototyping, manufacturing, and scaling for market adoption. Within 12 months, the aim is to evolve from prototype to the first serial production-ready vehicle.

If you're driven by curiosity, thrive in tackling hard engineering problems, and are motivated by building real-world impact with a team of sharp, mission-driven peers – this role could be a great fit.

About the Team

The company was founded by two experienced engineers with over two decades of combined experience across machine learning, advanced hardware systems, and deeptech startups. Their previous work spans global technology firms, automotive innovation teams, and cutting-edge aerospace ventures, covering fields from quantum computing and AI to heavy-lift drone systems and hydrogen-powered propulsion.

What You’ll Work On

You'll take ownership of projects from concept to production – including hands-on prototyping, detailed design, and rigorous testing. The role spans a broad range of responsibilities and requires close collaboration with teams across R&D, manufacturing, and QA. More specifically, you will :

Use CAD, FEA, and engineering calculations to develop robust mechanical designs

Perform analysis and testing to validate and optimise system performance

Interface with suppliers and manage procurement for prototyping and production

Work in close collaboration with electronics, mechatronics, and software teams to bring prototypes to life

Lead field testing and iteration of functional prototypes

Optimise tools, processes, and designs for serial production

About You

Degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering (or equivalent practical experience)

Demonstrated experience in hardware development, with a track record of taking designs from idea to reality

Strong problem-solving and analytical skills with a hands-on, pragmatic mindset

Clear communicator with collaborative instincts, especially in multidisciplinary environments

Why Join

The company is headquartered in Valencia – regularly ranked among the best cities to live in Europe thanks to its affordable living costs, Mediterranean climate, and rich cultural life. Compensation includes a competitive salary and stock options. Relocation support is available, and benefits are tailored to what matters most to each team member.
