Job description

At Quantum-Systems, we are redefining aerial defense. Our Counter-UAS interceptor is a rocket-boosted, all-electric drone capable of 400 km/h, delivering 10 kW peak power through an in-house developed powertrain. Designed from day one for mass production at scale, this platform represents a new class of high-performance, modular UAV systems., You will own the system level integration of the Counter UAS platform, ensuring seamless interaction between mechanical, electrical, powertrain, propulsion, avionics, software and auxiliary systems. This -is a highly handson role at the intersection of engineering disciplines, with direct impact on system performance, reliability, and manufacturability. You will play a key role in derisking designs, leading integration and verification activities, and supporting the transition to serial production.

What is your Day to Day Mission:

  • System-level integration of propulsion (BLDC motors, ESCs, batteries), avionics (sensors, data links, antennas, flight controller, companion computer), payloads, mechanical structures, and auxiliary systems (boosters, charging and storage infrastructure)
  • Hands-on root-cause analysis and troubleshooting of complex, cross-disciplinary integration issues in close collaboration with mechanical, electronics, and software engineers, as well as external partners and suppliers
  • Definition and implementation of sub-system interfaces in coordination with cross discipline engineering teams and suppliers (wiring, interfaces & connectors, communications protocols, power budgets, thermal management)
  • Planning, coordination, and execution of integration, testing and verification activities across the full product lifecycle-from early prototypes to series-production systems
  • Technical guidance and mentoring of junior engineers during integration, testing, and system validation phases

Requirements

  • 5-10 years of professional experience in systems or integration engineering within aerospace, automotive, defence, or other safety-critical environments
  • Strong understanding of multidisciplinary system interactions (mechanical, electrical / electromagnetic, software, propulsion, power systems)
  • Hands-on experience with, debugging, and verification on complex products
  • Experience working in prototype-heavy environments transitioning into series production
  • Structured, analytical mindset combined with a pragmatic, execution-driven approach
  • Ability to communicate clearly across disciplines and align teams around system-level goals
  • Passion for complex hardware systems - UAVs, robotics or hands-on technical projects are a strong plus!
