Full Job Description
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 ## Requirements #### 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 futu
