The role translates customer requirements, policy context, and programme constraints into actionable inputs; assists programme managers; engages military and government stakeholders; and handles ambiguous, high-ownership tasks in a fast-paced environment.

Support delivery of complex defence programmes by coordinating schedules, workstreams, stakeholders, suppliers, risks, actions, and dependencies. Translate customer and contractual requirements into plans, milestones, presentations, and decisions. Contribute to programme reporting, commercial activities, change control, proposals, and strategic analysis while taking ownership of increasingly complex responsibilities. The role requires strong communication, organisation, bilingual German and English fluency, and comfort operating across technical, commercial, and customer-facing environments.

Design and validate high-power electronic systems for aerospace, defense, and industrial applications. Responsibilities include schematic capture, PCB layout, power distribution and protection, DC/DC converters, battery interfaces, thermal analysis, component selection, simulation, prototype testing, fault analysis, hardware debugging, compliance, system integration, and technical documentation.

Design and implement FPGA architectures, real-time DSP algorithms, and high-speed communication interfaces. Optimize timing, resource utilization, and power consumption; develop verification environments and testbenches; integrate FPGA designs with embedded processors and hardware platforms; and debug systems using laboratory and on-chip tools. The role also contributes to system architecture, technical leadership, documentation, and collaboration across hardware and software engineering teams in a hypersonic defense technology environment.

Design and validate digital, mixed-signal, and analog electronics, including schematics, multilayer PCB layouts, power and sensor interfaces, and signal integrity. Perform simulation, verification, EMC/EMI analysis, board bring-up, debugging, qualification, and root cause analysis. Collaborate with FPGA, embedded software, and mechanical teams while preparing design, test, and manufacturing documentation. Support prototype builds and production transfer for mission-critical aerospace and defense hardware.
