  • About the Role

    Build the world’s most advanced interceptor drones 

    We are redefining aerial defense. Our Counter‑UAS interceptor is a rocket‑boosted, all‑electric drone capable of 400 km/h, delivering 10 kW peak power through an in‑house developed powertrain. Designed from day one for mass production at scale, this platform represents a new class of high‑performance, modular UAV systems. 

    We are looking for a Senior Engineer to take this technological powerhouse from advanced prototype to tens of thousands of units produced globally. 

    What is your Day to Day Mission:

    • Conceptual design and detailed development of complex injection‑molded plastic components and mechanical sub‑assemblies 

    • Optimization of assemblies for manufacturing, assembly, cost, and quality 

    • Hands‑on involvement with tooling design, tool reviews, and first‑article inspections 

    • Technical coordination and management of external suppliers and manufacturing partners 

    • Oversight, guidance, and quality assurance of work performed by junior mechanical design engineers 

    • Close collaboration with cross‑functional teams across engineering, production, and supply chain 



    What You Bring to the Team

    • 5–10 years of professional experience in hardware or mechanical engineering with exposure to automotive, aerospace, defense, or safety‑critical product standards 

    • Background in automotive, consumer electronics or comparable high‑volume industries 

    • Strong proficiency in CATIA V5 and deep experience designing injection‑molded parts and assemblies for high‑volume production 

    • Experience working closely with electronics, powertrain, propulsion, and systems engineers 

    • A pragmatic, ownership‑driven mindset and the ability to move fast without compromising quality 

    • Passion for hardware — drones, model aircraft, or hands‑on technical hobbies are a strong plus! 

    Why Join Quantum-Systems?

    • Be at the forefront of next-generation Defence innovation.

    • Work in a fast-paced, agile environment where your ideas make an impact.

    • Collaborate with a team of industry pioneers who are ambitious, bold, and visionary.

    • Opportunities for individual and professional growth in a globally recognized organization.
