About the Role

As a Chief Engineer, you will own the architecture, system definition and implementation of one of our robotic systems — from concept to field deployment. You will work hand-in-hand with project managers and technical leads to translate mission needs into system-level designs, coordinate multidisciplinary engineering teams, and ensure overall system performance, robustness, and reliability.

  • Integration & Validation: Oversee system integration, prototyping, and validation, ensuring performance targets are achieved.

  • System Reviews: Drive design and architecture reviews, maintaining consistency between requirements, design, and testing.

  • Continuous Improvement: Implement processes to enhance requirements traceability, system documentation, and validation workflows.

Candidate Requirements

  • 10+ years of experience in system engineering within robotics, aerospace, or defense sectors.

  • MSc in Engineering (any field); PhD is a plus.

  • Proven experience leading full system lifecycles (concept → prototype → validation).

  • Strong background in system architecture, requirements engineering, and trade-off analysis.

  • Broad engineering culture with understanding of mechanical, electrical, and embedded systems.

  • Experience coordinating multi-disciplinary teams and managing technical interfaces.

  • Rigorous, structured, and mission-driven mindset with strong analytical skills.

  • Excellent communication and documentation abilities.

  • Bonus: Experience with UAS or defense systems.
