About us:
Artillerie Inrichtingen Armaments B.V. (AIA) is a fast-growing company with a vision to strengthen the Netherlands’ self-reliance in ammunition production. The historic state company Artillerie Inrichtingen was founded during the 80 Years’ War and produced high-quality weapons and ammunition over the centuries. AIA has revived this legacy and is looking for enthusiastic professionals who want to contribute to enhancing national defence autonomy, ensuring that the Netherlands is independent from other countries when it comes to defending our freedom and democracy in critical times.
We are seeking an Electronics Engineer (UAV) to join our team in developing integrated weaponized drones. Do you feel energy and passion for this mission? Then you are the one we are looking for!
Job Description:
As the Electronics Engineer (UAV), you will be a vital contributor to the development of integrated weaponized drones, a key focus area for AIA. You will collaborate with both domestic and international partners to enhance drone control systems and improve their resilience against jamming. This role requires a deeper level of expertise than that of a typical electronics engineer, as AIA strives to become the “best of class” in the industry. Your contributions will be essential to achieving this goal.
Responsibilities:
- Drone Control Systems: Design and develop electronic control systems for UAVs, focusing on robust performance and reliability.
- Jamming Resilience: Implement strategies to enhance the resilience of drones against electronic jamming and other countermeasures.

Essential Qualifications:
- Education: Academic degree (Bachelor’s level) in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field. A Master’s degree or equivalent is a plus.
- Experience: Professional experience in product design or engineering would be a plus, but is not mandatory. This position is open to all experience levels and will be rewarded accordingly. Hobbyist experience with drone (design or building) is a big plus!
- Language: Excellent proficiency in English is essential, while fluency in Dutch is considered an advantage.
- Security: Mandatory Dutch background check (VOG).
Skills and Attributes:
- Motivation: A strong passion for working in a defence technology company, with a proactive and results-oriented mindset.
- Technical Expertise: Strong knowledge of electronic control systems, with experience in UAV or military technology.

Benefits:
- Competitive salary with good secondary benefits.

- Professional growth in a rapidly evolving company, at the forefront of technological development.
- A social and dynamic working environment with a collaborative and innovative company culture.
