System Engineer

System Engineer | Where Systems Take Flight

If you’re a system thinker who thrives on complexity, if switching between design reviews, lab tests, and flight tests feels natural, and if seeing your work actually fly is what gets you up in the morning — you’ll feel at home at BlueBird Aero Systems.

At BlueBird, no two days look the same.

We work fast, juggle multiple projects at once, and solve real engineering challenges on cutting-edge UAS platforms.

It’s demanding, hands-on, and deeply rewarding — because the systems you define don’t stay on paper. They take off.

What you’ll do

• Lead UAS development end-to-end — from system definition and architecture through product requirements, design reviews, integration, testing, and field experiments.
• Own the system perspective across multidisciplinary teams: structures, avionics, software, hardware and operations
• Plan and execute field experiments (yes, the kind with dust, noise, and actual aircraft), analyze results, and turn them into actionable design improvements
• Be the glue between engineering disciplines, keeping the big picture clear while diving into the details when needed
• Help shape the technical DNA of the company’s next generation of UAS
• You report directly to the System Engineering Manager.

What we’re looking for

✔ B.Sc. in Aeronautical / Mechanical / Hardware Engineering

✔ 3+ years of experience in multidisciplinary system development (UAS experience is a strong advantage)

✔ Strong system-level thinking, an ownership mindset, and genuine enthusiasm for hands-on field work

✔Strong level of English

Bonus points if you're familiar with

✔Flight controllers and flight logic

✔Electric engines

✔Military and/or civilian aviation standards

If you’re looking for a role where engineering is dynamic and impactful, and where your systems don’t just work, but fly — we’d love to meet you.
