UAV Prototyping Technician (m/w/d)

At Alpine Eagle, we’re building the future of counter-drone defence. We’re a fast-growing, international deep-tech company working at the intersection of aerospace engineering, defence systems, and machine learning. Our goal: create the world’s first swarm-based, airborne counter-drone system.

Modern conflicts show how quickly drones are reshaping the battlefield. Threats are rising, and today’s solutions aren’t keeping pace. We’re here to change that.

Alpine Eagle isn’t just a defence company. It’s a mission. Backed by an international team, strong funding, and a bold vision, we’re looking for people who want to shape the next generation of aerial security and build something that truly matters.

🎯 How you will make an impact:

• Rapid Concept Integration: You will support the engineering team by turning design files into reality, integrating complex hardware (avionics, sensors, motors) into next-generation airframes. 

• Composite & Mechanical Fabrication: You will handle advanced fabrication tasks, including 3D printing, CNC machining, and working with composite materials (cutting, laminating, and bonding) to build robust prototype structures. 

• Wiring and Electronics: You will manufacture professional-grade wiring harnesses (crimping, soldering) and integrate flight controllers to ensure zero-failure electrical systems. 

• Validation & Field Readiness: You will conduct functional tests to verify performance and prepare prototypes for critical field tests and high-stakes customer demonstrations. 

• Iterative Improvement: You won't just build it once; you will provide feedback on manufacturability, helping engineers troubleshoot issues and refine designs for mass production. 

✅ What you need to be successful:

• Proven Drone Experience: Strong background in building, assembling, and tuning UAVs or complex RC models (fixed-wing or multicopter). 

• Hands-on Versatility: You are comfortable jumping between delicate soldering/electronics work and heavy mechanical fabrication (drilling, cutting, finishing). 

• Composite Skills: Experience with composite materials (carbon fiber, fiberglass) including laminating, bonding, and repair is a major advantage. 

• Harness Manufacturing: Professional experience creating custom wiring harnesses (crimping, connector assembly) rather than just connecting pre-made wires. 

• Agile Mindset: You thrive in a fast-paced environment where requirements change, and you take pride in delivering high-quality work under tight deadlines. 

• Collaborative Spirit: You communicate clearly with designers to identify risks and solve problems before the drone leaves the bench. 

At Alpine Eagle, we are committed to diversity and equal opportunity. We welcome applications from all individuals regardless of ethnic origin, gender, religion, disability, age, or sexual identity.
