NEXUS Infield Engineer (m/f/d)

Join us in shaping the future of drone infrastructure. As a Mechanical / Mechatronics Engineer, you will design and develop innovative hardware systems for next-generation drone ports, taking ideas from concept all the way to real-world operation. If you enjoy hands-on engineering, fast iteration, and real impact, this role is for you.

What is your Day to Day Mission:

• Design and develop mechanical and mechatronic subsystems for drone ports and related systems across ground and maritime use cases.

• Contribute to the overall system architecture, ensuring requirements and capabilities are aligned from a systems engineering perspective.

• Select appropriate materials and define production processes in line with structural, thermal, and environmental requirements.

• Validate concepts through prototyping, stress analysis, and simulation. You will take ownership of your designs throughout the full prototyping cycle, including assembly and testing.

• Plan and support the validation of serial products, analyze root causes of issues, and feed insights back into production.

• Ensure designs are scalable for series production, considering supply chain constraints, design for manufacturing (DFM), and assembly requirements.

What you bring to the team:

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Aerospace Engineering, or Maritime Engineering.

• 5+ years of experience in mechanical development of industrial, robotic, or automation systems.

• Hands-on experience in testing and validation of both prototypes and serial products.

• Proficiency in CAD tools (CATIA V5 preferred).

• Strong understanding of the full product lifecycle, from prototyping to series production, and solid knowledge of systems engineering methodologies.

• Experience with manufacturing processes such as CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, injection molding, and additive manufacturing (3D printing) for prototyping and low-volume production.

• Good understanding of mechanical integration with electronics and embedded systems.

• A highly self-motivated, proactive mindset with strong ownership of responsibilities.

• Fluent communication skills in English.
