About the role

Imagine this. You are the reason every critical flight test delivers the data that pushes aerospace technology forward. From telemetry systems to sensor integration, your work will directly shape the performance, reliability, and evolution of next generation unmanned flight systems. This is not a role where you sit on the sidelines watching innovation happen. You will be in the middle of the action, building the systems that allow engineers to understand, validate, and improve cutting edge aerospace technology in real flight conditions.

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

  • Work closely with engineering and flight test teams to identify and define data acquisition requirements for flight campaigns
  • Design and develop complete flight test instrumentation systems including hardware, software, telemetry architecture, and sensor integration
  • Define and implement telemetry systems and ground stations capable of delivering reliable real time flight data
  • Install, calibrate, validate, and maintain instrumentation systems on unmanned aerial platforms
  • Ensure accurate, high quality data acquisition during flight testing activities
  • Support flight test operations on site and troubleshoot instrumentation issues in fast paced environments
  • Collaborate across multidisciplinary teams to continuously improve testing capabilities and data reliability
  • Contribute to the development of scalable and efficient instrumentation processes for future programs

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
