• Support the integration of ground control stations into larger operational and customer environments.

• Contribute to completing ground control stations in line with Bundeswehr (Bw) requirements.

Qualifications:

• High adaptability and ability to work effectively in a dynamic, experimental environment with a focus on continuous improvement.
