Hands-on NPI & Transition to Production Engineer - Defense Deep-Tech

A growing deep-tech defense company (approx. 50 employees) is looking for an experienced NPI Engineer who lives and breathes hardware to lead the transition of advanced sensing systems from prototype to production.

This is a key role within a small, high-quality engineering team. We are looking for someone with a strong development background who can dive deep into the technical aspects of the system, while also taking full ownership of the "messy" parts of the job – leading the challenges of productization and scaling.

What you will do:

End-to-End (E2E) Engineering Responsibility: Lead the transfer to production process from R&D through to mass production and real-world deployment.

Integration & Validation: Perform system integration, validation, and qualification for complex multidisciplinary systems (Hardware, Software, Mechanics, and Electro-optics).

Manufacturing Leadership: Work closely with subcontractors and the manufacturing line, drive engineering changes (ECOs), and ensure compliance with strict industry standards and regulations.

Troubleshooting: Solve complex problems at the intersection of HW, SW, and mechanics, owning the process of turning a complex prototype into a robust, production-ready product.

Requierments

What we are looking for:

Bsc in EE

Strong technical background and proven experience in development – Electronics HW / FPGA / Embedded.

Hands-on experience leading NPI processes, Transfer to Production, and Mass Production of integrated systems.

Deep system-level understanding and the ability to work seamlessly across various interfaces (R&D, Manufacturing, Quality).

A distinct hands-on approach and the ability to drive processes independently with a strong sense of ownership.
