Jobs at Destinus Group BV

Lead end-to-end technical projects for aerospace/defense UAV programs: plan, coordinate multidisciplinary teams, manage schedules/budgets/risks, oversee testing, industrialization, quality, client technical alignment, and contribute to tenders.

Lead design, analysis, and certification of solid rocket motors to MIL-STD and STANAG. Define test plans, perform static firing and data analysis, execute FMEA/FMECA, prepare compliance documentation, support failure investigations, and collaborate across disciplines to drive qualification from concept to certified hardware.

Lead planning, execution, and continuous improvement of solid rocket motor and igniter test campaigns. Author test plans and procedures, conduct test readiness reviews, act as test conductor during live firings, enforce safety and hazard mitigation, define instrumentation and data acquisition needs, oversee setup and verification, investigate anomalies, produce test documentation, and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to improve test infrastructure and safety systems.

Support senior engineers on aerospace electronics and system integration for UAVs. Assist test preparation, execution, troubleshooting, data collection, documentation, and cross-discipline coordination while learning toward systems engineering responsibilities.

Develop real-time communication infrastructure and GUIs, design, build, test and deploy software for flight control, navigation, guidance and sensor data processing, own end-to-end development lifecycle, and integrate new technologies for autonomous UAV systems.

Design, restructure, and maintain scalable ETL/ELT data pipelines and tooling. Support and troubleshoot data architecture, implement metadata frameworks, and build advanced tools for granular data visualization and manipulation to ensure reliable, high-performance data for downstream teams.

Lead design, analysis, testing, and certification of rocket motors and pyrotechnic components. Develop tools for sizing and performance estimation, support TPS and nozzle design, perform static-fire testing and failure investigations, produce compliance documentation to MIL-STD/STANAG, and coordinate cross-disciplinary teams and external partners to achieve qualification and certification.

Lead mechanical design projects for aerospace components through concept, manufacturing, integration, and testing. Create 3D CAD models, drawings, BOMs, and technical documentation; manage suppliers, participate in design reviews, and support propulsion, airframe, landing gear, and flight control designs.

Design, develop, test and integrate SAFing energetic systems (fuzes, SAU, ISD) for UAV platforms. Create 3D CAD, drawings, BOMs, technical analyses, manage suppliers, and ensure qualification and configuration management of safety-critical components.

Design mechanical parts, assemblies, and mechanisms for hypersonic UAVs using CAD (Siemens NX or similar). Apply GD&T, DFM/DFA, and FEA/FEM to ensure survivability and manufacturability. Create drawings, technical documentation, collaborate with suppliers and cross-functional teams, and support product lifecycle from concept through production and testing.

Lead end-to-end UAV system development as technical authority: define requirements, drive vehicle design, oversee prototype manufacturing, integration, testing, flight campaigns, anomaly resolution, and lead multidisciplinary teams to deliver flight-qualified platforms.

Manage, secure, and optimize Microsoft 365, AWS, Windows Server, networking, and Atlassian platforms; design networks, troubleshoot complex infrastructure, enforce security best practices, support IT staff, and maintain documentation to ensure operational reliability and scalability.

Create and maintain demand forecasts in ERP, manage customer and intercompany orders, align demand with stakeholders, monitor inventory and availability, balance demand and supply, present forecast metrics, improve forecasting methods, and set safety stock by lead time.

Coordinate end-to-end change management between Engineering and Manufacturing: document and communicate engineering/product changes, maintain traceability, translate technical updates for production/procurement/quality/logistics, prepare release notes and procedures, align cross-functional teams, improve workflows, and support training and rollout activities.

Drive business development for UAV solutions in the French defense sector: identify opportunities, lead bids and tenders, develop go-to-market strategies, analyze market and procurement frameworks, coordinate internal teams, negotiate and manage contracts, and engage government and defense stakeholders.

Lead commercial strategy and market positioning for Destinus B2B defense systems. Translate technical capabilities into competitive offerings, align product, engineering, and commercial teams, support customer and partner engagement, and ensure solutions meet operational and procurement requirements for defense customers.

Run and analyze CFD simulations for aero-engine components (compressors, turbines, combustors, intakes, nozzles); compare simulations to test data; contribute to simulation-method improvements; support R&D testing and design reviews; write technical reports and collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams.

Translate electrical designs into manufacturable processes and work instructions, support electrical assembly and system integration on the production floor, define and validate production tests, ensure compliance with aerospace and military standards, perform FMEAs and root cause analysis, and drive continuous improvement across electrical production.

Coordinate end-to-end business travel for employees and visitors across Europe, manage travel documentation and expense tracking, perform trip risk assessments, liaise with internal teams and external providers, handle disruptions and emergencies, and maintain travel records and reporting to ensure safe, compliant, and cost-effective travel.

Build, own, and maintain the Microsoft Fabric Lakehouse and ETL/ELT pipelines to migrate Excel/SharePoint reports, integrate new sources and ERP (Dynamics 365 F&O), implement data quality/monitoring, and document data models to support company-wide BI and reporting.
