Head of C-UAS Mission Management System; m​/f​/d

At Alpine Eagle, we’re building the future of counter-drone defence. We’re a fast-growing, international deep-tech company working at the intersection of aerospace engineering, defence systems, and machine learning. Our goal: create the world’s first swarm-based, airborne counter-drone system.

Modern conflicts show how quickly drones are reshaping the battlefield. Threats are rising, and today’s solutions aren’t keeping pace. We’re here to change that.

Alpine Eagle isn’t just a defence company. It’s a mission. Backed by an international team, strong funding, and a bold vision, we’re looking for people who want to shape the next generation of aerial security and build something that truly matters.

The C-UAS Mission Management System Team is designing theuserinterface for our airborne and ground-basedproductswhich include both sensor networks and effectors. The user interface offers a unique capability to control a multiagent basedfleet of assets. It allows for mission planning and simulation,mission operation and control,situationalawarenessanddamage assessment. You will run a team of software developers tofurther improve and develop the existing product, itsfeaturesand interfaces.

You will be hands-on,develop and optimize,drive the architecture, and collaborate withother teamsto deliver next-generation drone solutions.

• Lead and mentor a cross‑functional engineering team, fostering strong performance, growth, and a high‑quality engineering culture.
• Own the full lifecycle of the Mission Management System UI, from requirements and design to implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance.
• Define and evolve the system architecture to ensure scalability, modularity, resilience, and seamless integration with sensors, effectors, C2 systems, and third‑party assets.
• Collaborate with product, systems engineering, UX, and hardware teams to translate operational needs into intuitive and reliable user interfaces.
• Ensure engineering excellence through clean coding standards, automated testing, CI/CD, and efficient development workflows.
• Shape the product roadmap by identifying new features, improvements, and technology opportunities that enhance mission effectiveness and operator experience.
• Conduct technical reviews, develop proof‑of‑concepts, and guide decisions on frameworks, libraries, and tools.
• Support integration and field testing, validating performance in realistic operational environments and participating in flight operations.
• Champion usability, safety, and reliability in mission‑critical scenarios.
  
  Drive continuous improvement and foster a culture of innovation, transparency, and collaboration.

• Strong background in software engineering (5+ years), including technical leadership and modern UI + backend development.
• Experience in UAS mission planning ,
  drone operations , or related domains such as robotics ,
  autonomous systems , or C2/C4
  
  ISR
  .
• Solid understanding of distributed systems ,
  real‑time data processing , and high‑availability architectures
  .
• Familiarity with defence‑related standards and tools (e.g.,
  Sapient ,
  STANAG 4586 ,
  ATAK ,
  Sita Ware ).
• Ability to translate mission and user requirements into intuitive UI/UX and guide teams through complex technical decisions.
• Excellent communication skills and fluent English ; defence‑system integration experience is a strong plus
