Quality Manager (Counter Drone Systems) (m/f/d)

At Alpine Eagle, we are building the future of counter-drone defence. We specialise in aerospace engineering, defence systems, and machine learning — developing the world’s first swarm-based, airborne counter-drone system.

Modern conflicts have made one thing clear: drones are changing the face of warfare. From critical infrastructure to frontline defence, the threats are escalating — and current solutions are falling behind. Our mission is to change that effectively. By combining cutting-edge AI with aerospace-grade engineering, we’re giving democracies and institutions committed to the rule of law the technological edge they need to protect themselves in the 21st century.

Alpine Eagle is more than a defence company — it\’s a call to action. With an international team of experts, a strong financial foundation, and a bold vision for the future, we’re looking for people who want to help shape the next generation of aerial security systems — and build something that truly matters. We want to reinforce a culture where great ideas can flourish, and great people collaborate. Help us grow and succeed!

We are looking for a Quality Manager to be the driving force behind quality, certification, and trust – building the framework that enables our next growth stage.
