Mechatronic Engineer

Imagine this – You’re standing on the edge of a runway, watching one of the fastest autonomous aircraft ever built ignite into action. The system powering its flight? Something you helped design, integrate, and bring to life. At Destinus, we’re not just engineering machines – we’re crafting the future of hypersonic defense and autonomous systems. As a Mechatronic Engineer, you’ll be at the core of that transformation, shaping intelligent machines that respond with precision, speed, and sheer ingenuity.

At Destinus, we are revolutionizing the defense industry with cutting-edge Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Our innovative technologies are designed to meet the unique demands of modern defense operations, delivering unparalleled speed, precision, and cost effectiveness. Destinus partners with government agencies and defense organizations worldwide to provide advanced solutions for mission-critical operations, enabling a new era of efficiency and technological superiority. Join us in shaping the future of defense with groundbreaking aerospace innovations.

What You’ll Do

• Design and integrate mechatronic systems that form the intelligent backbone of our UAVs
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (mechanical, software, electronics) to develop prototypes and iterate fast
• Define and implement testing protocols for actuators, sensors, and control systems
• Develop technical documentation that helps scale our systems from lab bench to flight-ready
• Tackle real-time challenges during system validation and flight campaigns across Europe
• Travel to test sites and partner facilities to ensure seamless integration and performance
• Push the limits of speed and autonomy by bringing new ideas and improvements to the table, always
• Drive hands-on prototyping and rigorous testing to transform bold concepts into high-performance aerospace solutions that are ready for real-world missions.

Requirements

Bachelor's or Master’s in Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field

Experience in system integration – combining mechanics, electronics, and control

Hands-on experience with sensors, actuators, control systems, and embedded software

Comfort using CAD tools (like SolidWorks or CATIA), and system simulation tools (like MATLAB/Simulink)

Solid understanding of system dynamics, kinematics, and electromechanical interfaces

Experience with RC flights

Bonus if you’ve worked with drones, robots, aerospace platforms, or in defense environments

Willingness to travel and get hands-on in test environments – lab, field, or hangar.

English is a must, is our working language.

Who You Are
You thrive in a fast-paced environment where innovation moves at lightning speed. You’re a builder and a problem-solver – not afraid to get your hands dirty to test or fix something. When others see obstacles, you see opportunity and push through with creativity. You love autonomy, figuring things out, and owning your part of the mission from end to end and you bring strong communication and collaboration skills.
