Prototyping Engineer in the N3XT Maritime
- On-site
- Gilching , Bayern , Germany
About the Role
We are looking for a highly hands-on Prototype Engineer to rapidly turn ideas into functional systems like maritime autonomous platforms. In the N3XT Team, you will build, test and iterate prototypes at the intersection of UAVs, marine systems, mechanics and electronics.
This role is for builders — people who enjoy solving difficult engineering challenges and creating clever, practical solutions under uncertainty.
What is your Day-to-Day Mission:
Develop and build prototypes for next-generation drones and autonomous systems, including maritime platforms
Design, integrate and test mechanical and electronic components
Rapidly iterate concepts from idea → prototype → field testing
Solve complex mechanical challenges with lightweight, robust and manufacturable designs
Support integration of sensors, electronics and subsystems into operational prototypes
What You Bring to the Team
Must-Haves
Strong hands-on engineering mindset with proven prototyping experience
Good CAD skills (CATIA, Fusion 360 or similar)
Solid understanding of mechanics, construction principles and system integration
Experience assembling or integrating electronics
Practical experience with drones, UAVs or autonomous systems
Strong spatial reasoning, creativity and problem-solving ability
Ability to work fast and independently in ambiguous environments
Strong Plus
Experience with ArduPilot, PX4 or comparable flight-control systems
Experience building, modifying or operating drones
Familiarity with maritime systems, marine operations or hydrodynamics
Background in marine engineering, boating, underwater systems or autonomous maritime vehicles
Experience with rapid manufacturing methods (3D printing, CNC, composites)
Ideal Profile
You build things outside of work. You modify drones, work on vehicles, assemble electronics or spend your free time creating technical projects. You enjoy experimentation and want to shape the future of autonomous aerial and maritime systems.
