Electro Mechanical Engineer

Mechatronics Engineer – UAV Systems

📍 Konstanz, Germany | Full-time | On-site

We’re working with a fast-growing defence technology company developing complete modular UAV systems, including the aircraft, payloads, electronics and ground-control equipment.

They are looking for a hands-on Mechatronics Engineer to develop and integrate multidisciplinary hardware across their drone platforms. You’ll take ownership from early concepts and CAD through prototyping, testing and production.

What you’ll be doing:

• Designing and developing mechanical and mechatronic assemblies for UAVs, payloads and ground equipment
• Integrating motors, actuators, sensors, PCBs, wiring and embedded electronics
• Building and testing prototypes in the workshop and laboratory
• Troubleshooting issues across mechanical, electrical and control systems
• Developing test equipment and validating systems through physical testing
• Improving designs for reliability, manufacturability and assembly
• Working closely with electronics, embedded software and production engineers
• Supporting products from initial concept through to production and field deployment

What they’re looking for:

• Experience developing complete mechatronic or electromechanical products
• Strong mechanical design and 3D CAD skills
• Practical experience integrating electronics, sensors, actuators and wiring
• Hands-on experience with prototyping, assembly, testing and fault finding
• Understanding of DFM/DFA and production processes
• Experience in UAVs, robotics, consumer electronics, automotive or similar hardware products
• Comfortable taking ownership in a fast-moving startup environment

This would suit someone who enjoys building real hardware and working across mechanics, electronics and controls, not being limited to one narrow engineering discipline.
