Senior Electrical Engineer (m/f/d) - UGVs & Payload Integration
About the role
We’re building rugged, high-performance off-road robotic vehicles, and we’re looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer who wants to turn circuits, power systems, and sensors into field-ready capabilities for soldiers.
In this hands-on role, you’ll design and integrate electrical systems that work seamlessly with mechanical platforms and payloads, ensuring our robots perform reliably under real-world conditions. This is more than wiring diagrams — you’ll be shaping complete systems that operate in harsh environments and deliver mission-critical functionality.
Your Profile
- 5+ years of experience in electrical system design, embedded electronics, or robotics
- Strong knowledge of power electronics, sensors, actuators, and communication interfaces
- Expert in wiring harness design and electrical schematics, preferably with strong EPLAN skills
- Comfortable designing for harsh environments: vibration, dust, water, and temperature extremes
- Experience designing for rugged environments and tight mechanical packaging
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, startup environment with cross-disciplinary teams
- Strong problem-solver and troubleshooter who can balance performance, reliability, and manufacturability
- Fluent in English; German is a plus
- Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or similar
What You’ll Do
- Design, develop, and integrate electrical systems for UGVs, including power distribution, control electronics, and payload interfaces
- Collaborate closely with mechanical engineers to ensure wiring, space constraints, thermal loads, and mechanical stresses are fully accounted for
- Engineer sensor, actuator, and communication integrations for complex payloads (manipulators, radars, cameras, etc.)
- Develop and validate electrical architectures that are robust under shock, vibration, dust, water, and extreme temperatures
- Prototype, test, and iterate electrical and embedded systems rapidly to meet customer mission requirements
- Create and maintain technical documentation, including schematics, wiring diagrams, and integration notes
- Solve real-world electrical challenges with a hands-on, pragmatic approach
- Debug electrical systems in the lab and field, from oscilloscopes to power analyzers, thermal cameras
Benefits and Perks
- Competitive salary and benefits package
- A shaping role in an emerging dual use company
- Opportunity to work with a highly innovative, international, and dynamic team
- Room for professional growth and development
- Participation in the company's success, with access to regular events, knowledge exchange and meetups
