Our philosophy is to hire a small number of exceptional people with broad, deep technical capability, strong judgement, and the ability to operate autonomously.

We hire for talent, not rigid boxes. This role represents a business need, but the way it evolves will be shaped by the individual. If you’ve achieved what others said was impossible, or you bring a unique combination of skills that doesn’t fit a traditional mould, we want to hear from you. The work you do here directly contributes to Europe’s technological independence.

This role is designed for a pragmatic technical facility and workshop professional with a strong hands-on approach, broad safety awareness, and the ability to organize infrastructure, equipment, and operational processes in a structured and reliable way.
