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.
