Posted: January 30, 2026

Job Description

In today’s world of constant global security challenges, innovation in defense is no luxury. After years of budget cuts, military personnel needs to train and work with inadequate and insufficient equipment. We have an opportunity to change that.

At Intelic, we are a group of highly committed professionals building one of the fastest-growing start-ups based in Amsterdam. We create advanced software for unmanned systems in the defense sector. As a software company at our core, we build intelligence that gives unmanned platforms the speed, coordination and reliability that critical missions demand. Our technology ensures that decisions are made with accuracy when it matters most.

Responsibilities

As a Drone Engineer at Intelic, you will play a pivotal role in bringing unmanned aerial systems from concept to field deployment. You will design, build, and maintain lightweight drones, integrating both hardware and software to ensure optimal mission readiness. Your work directly contributes to developing autonomous defense capabilities and delivering reliable systems into the hands of operators.

In practice, this means:

• Design and customize drone components and subsystems using CAD.

• Assemble and integrate airframes, electronics, and sensors (including 3D-printing workflows).

• Configure, test, and maintain flight systems (pre: PX4 / ArduPilot).

• Conduct real-world flight tests to validate design choices.

• Support validation, verification, and field-testing of mission-critical systems.

• Collaborate closely with software engineers, defense experts, and operations teams.
