About the role:
As a Senior Systems Engineer – Industrialization , you will play a key role in bringing our next-generation unmanned systems from development and prototyping into stable, scalable production.
You will take technical ownership at the intersection of Systems Engineering, R&D, Production and Industrialization. Rather than leading a team from a disciplinary perspective, you will act as a senior technical expert and sparring partner , helping establish robust processes, solve complex system-level issues and continuously improve the maturity of our products and production environment.
The role offers a high degree of ownership in an environment where structures and processes are still evolving and where your expertise can have a direct impact on how we industrialize our systems.
What is your Day to Day Mission:
- Drive the industrialization of complex unmanned systems from prototype and development stages toward stable serial production.
- Take technical ownership of system-level topics throughout the industrialization lifecycle .
- Analyze and resolve complex technical issues arising during production, integration, testing and operation.
- Identify whether technical issues originate from product design, system integration, manufacturing processes or individual components and drive them toward sustainable resolution.
- Define and continuously improve technical processes, standards and methodologies for industrialization and system integration.
- Work closely with Systems Engineering, R&D, Production, Quality, Testing and Supply Chain to ensure product and production readiness.
- Translate lessons learned from production and field feedback into concrete technical improvements.
- Support root cause analysis and structured problem solving for recurring or critical system-level issues.
- Ensure that system requirements, interfaces and technical dependencies are understood and adequately reflected in the production environment.
- Act as a senior technical sparring partner for engineers and stakeholders across different disciplines.
- Mentor colleagues through your technical expertise and help establish best practices without formal disciplinary leadership responsibility.
- Contribute to building scalable structures as products and production volumes continue to grow.
What you bring to the team:
- A degree in Systems Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics or a comparable technical field.
- Several years of professional experience in Systems Engineering, Industrialization, Manufacturing Engineering, Product Engineering or a comparable technical role.
- Strong experience working with complex multidisciplinary products , ideally involving hardware, electronics, embedded software and mechanical systems.
- Proven experience supporting products during the transition from prototype or development into serial production .
- Strong understanding of system architecture, interfaces, requirements and verification principles.
- Practical experience with structured problem-solving and root-cause-analysis methods, for example 8D, FMEA, Ishikawa or 5-Why .
- Ability to identify dependencies across engineering disciplines and translate complex technical problems into actionable solutions.
- Experience working closely with production and engineering teams in a fast-moving development environment.
- A pragmatic and hands-on mindset with a strong sense of technical ownership .
- Confidence in challenging existing approaches and establishing new technical standards and processes.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to influence technical decisions across teams without formal leadership authority .
- Fluent English skills; German is an advantage.
