Flight Test & Field Systems Engineer C‑UAS (m/f/d)

What is your Day to Day Mission:

• Set up and operate the complete test system, including Ground Control Station, radar or sensor units, communication equipment, launch infrastructure, charging systems, and drones.
• Prepare field-test campaigns, demos, integration tests, and engineering experiments.
• Configure networks, IP addresses, communication links, antennas, sensors, ground-station computers, and related field equipment.
• Start, stop, monitor, and troubleshoot Ground Control Station software and connected hardware.
• Collect logs, organize test data, upload data to cloud systems, and make sure engineers receive the data they need.
• Build and maintain checklists, setup guides, teardown procedures, safety workflows, and test documentation.
• Develop repeatable procedures so that field setups do not depend on individual improvisation.
• Support engineers during tests of flight controllers, guidance algorithms, communication links, sensors, mechanical changes, electronics, or software updates.
• Perform pre-flight and post-flight checks, basic repairs, battery handling, hardware inspections, and failure assessments.
• Support the development and operation of a mobile Ground Control Station setup, such as a test vehicle or transportable field station.
• Support the development and readiness of mobile sensor units and field equipment.
• Help operate or coordinate target aircraft and other test assets where required.
• Support safety-critical test activities and obtain required training or licenses where necessary.
• Work closely with engineering teams to identify root causes after failed tests, crashes, communication issues, or setup problems.
• Keep the field system ready, documented, and continuously improving.

What You Bring to the Team

• Hands-on technical background in UAVs, robotics, electronics, mechanical systems, field testing, aerospace, automotive, defense, or comparable environments.
• Strong practical troubleshooting skills across hardware, software, networks, batteries, cables, sensors, and field equipment.
• Basic Linux and networking knowledge, including IP configuration, logs, SSH, terminals, routers, radios, and connected devices.
• Willingness to work outdoors, travel to test sites, and support long or irregular test days when required.
• Valid driver’s license.
• Strong sense of responsibility, safety, and discipline in field operations.
• Ability to stay calm and structured when tests are under time pressure.
• Ability to work with engineers from different disciplines and help them execute their tests efficiently.
• Practical hands-on mindset: you are comfortable repairing, checking, assembling, transporting, and operating real hardware.
• Experience flying drones, RC aircraft, fixed-wing model aircraft, or turbine-powered model aircraft.
• Experience with flight testing, test ranges, field operations, military systems, emergency services, robotics competitions, or outdoor technical operations.
• Experience with radio systems, antennas, telemetry, GNSS, radar systems, video links, or long-range communication.
• Experience with test documentation, checklists, operational procedures, safety reviews, or incident reporting.
• Experience with batteries, chargers, high-power electronics, mechanical repairs, 3D printing, or workshop tools.
