  • Utilize computer-aided design (CAD) software to create detailed designs and specifications.
  • Conduct structural analysis, aerodynamic modelling, and system integration to optimize UAV performance.
  • Define the HW architecture of UAV systems, including airframes, propulsion systems, avionics, sensors, and communication systems.
  • Develop system-level architecture to ensure seamless integration and interoperability of components.
  • Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, and software engineers to establish design requirements and specifications.
  • Create detailed system diagrams depicting the overall UAV architecture, subsystems, and interconnections.
  • Develop wiring diagrams illustrating the electrical connections, power distribution, and signal routing within the UAV system.
  • Ensure clarity and accuracy in diagrams to facilitate assembly, integration, and troubleshooting processes.
  • Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and industry standards for UAV design, operation, and safety.
  • Stay updated on evolving regulations and incorporate regulatory considerations into UAV designs and operations.
  • Provide guidance and support to the assembly team during the integration of UAV components and subsystems.
  • Verify compliance with design specifications and standards during the assembly process.
  • Resolve technical issues related to component compatibility, wiring discrepancies, and system integration.
  • Prepare detailed work instructions for assembly, integration, and testing procedures based on design specifications and test plans.
  • Document step-by-step procedures, tooling requirements, safety precautions, and quality checkpoints.
  • Ensure work instructions are clear, concise, and easily understandable by assembly technicians.
  • Develop test plans and procedures to validate the performance, functionality, and safety of UAV systems.
  • Conduct system-level testing, including functional testing, integration testing, and environmental testing.
  • Analyse test results and provide recommendations for design improvements and optimizations.
  • Prepare comprehensive flight approval documentation in compliance with regulatory requirements and company policies.
  • Liaise with regulatory authorities and stakeholders to obtain necessary flight clearances and permissions.
  • Ensure adherence to airspace regulations and operational restrictions during flight planning and execution.
  • Maintain detailed documentation of UAV designs, specifications, HW architecture, system diagrams, wiring diagrams, test plans, and results.
  • Prepare reports, presentations, and technical documentation to communicate design concepts, progress, and findings to stakeholders.
  • Collaborate with technical writers to create user manuals and technical guides for UAV systems.
Requirements:
  • Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field. Master's degree preferred.
  • Proven experience in UAV systems engineering, with a focus on HW and systems architecture definition preferably in the aerospace or Defence industry.
  • Proficiency in CAD software (Siemens NX) for 3D modelling and design, creating system diagrams, and wiring diagrams would be an asset.
  • Strong understanding of aerodynamics, propulsion systems, avionics, electrical systems, signal routing, and power distribution for UAV subsystems.
  • Experience with system integration, assembly, and testing processes.
  • Knowledge of regulatory requirements and industry standards for UAV design and operation.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
  • Effective communication and collaboration skills to work within multidisciplinary teams.
  • Experience with writing SORAs and past interaction with EASA is desired.
  • Demonstrable experience in real UAV flight testing would be an asset.
  • Demonstrable experience as a GCS Operator and External Pilot would be an asset.
  • Drone pilot licenses for the civilian (A1, A2, and A3) and military (DUO) segments would be an asset.
  • Fluent English Speaker.
  • If you speak Dutch, would be beneficial.
