TussenhausenHybrid

AI Summary

Lead the technical integration of flight control system architectures for the CA-1 Europa combat aircraft, executing system integration and verification activities on test rigs and supporting certification compliance.

About this role

Grob Aircraft has been designing and building aircraft in Bavaria for decades - from trainers and composite airframes to some of the most advanced aeronautical structures in the world. Engineering excellence and precision manufacturing are what we do.

Together with Helsing, our mother company and Europe's leading defence AI company, we are now taking on our most ambitious programme yet: the CA-1 Europa, Europe's first AI combat aircraft. This is not a study or a roadmap. We are designing, building, and testing - right now, right here.

We are a hands-on team of engineers who build things that fly. We take pride in short paths from idea to prototype, in solving hard problems pragmatically, and in seeing our work take to the sky. We are looking for people who think the same way - and who understand that this work matters for the security and sovereignty of Europe.

  • Own the execution of key system integration and verification activities on our test rigs

  • Work closely with control law designers, systems engineers, and hardware teams to resolve complex integration issues

  • Hold a relevant degree such as a Master's in Aerospace or Control Systems Engineering

  • Have 8+ years of significant, hands-on experience in the design, integration, and verification of flight control systems

  • Have deep knowledge of real-time embedded systems and relevant avionics certification standards (DO-178C)

  • Have direct experience working with certification authorities and supporting the generation of compliance data

  • Have strong practical skills in hardware-in-the-loop testing and a deep understanding of the full verification lifecycle

  • Possess excellent communication skills in English, with professional proficiency in German (B2+) being a strong advantage

  • Hold or are eligible for a national security clearance
