Technician, Prototyping and Assembly (m/w/d)
Founded in Munich in 2025, Loxo Labs GmbH develops modular infrastructure systems that enable scalable autonomous drone operations. Our solutions cover the secure transport, storage, power supply and autonomous deployment of unmanned aerial systems.
While much of the industry focuses on advancing drone technology itself, we address the infrastructure behind it — helping define an emerging category, Unmanned Infrastructure Systems (UIS).
You are the link between design engineering and the workshop — turning concepts into working hardware, testing them, and feeding what you learn back into development.
Responsibilities
- Manufacturing prototype parts across different processes — additive, machining and joining — including selecting the appropriate process for each
- Building, testing and iterating prototypes through to functional maturity
- Supporting trials and technical studies, and feeding the results back into development
- Developing the products for assembly and manufacture, in close coordination with design engineering
- Assembly, wiring and commissioning of our systems through to customer delivery
- Helping shape our workshop equipment: machines, tools, fixtures and test equipment
- Documenting assembly sequences and test steps as the basis for later series production
Your profile
- Completed vocational training as an industrial mechanic, mechatronics technician, precision mechanic, model maker or a comparable qualification
- Several years of experience in prototyping, special-purpose machinery or a comparable environment
- Practical command of several manufacturing processes, in particular 3D printing, milling and turning
- A strong willingness to take on new processes and technologies independently
- Confident with technical drawings and bills of materials; CAD knowledge an advantage
- Basic knowledge of electrics and wiring an advantage
- An independent, structured way of working in an environment without established pre-series processes
- Category B driving licence
What we offer
- You build sovereign European defence technology
- Ownership of the whole build — from the first part made to customer delivery
- Room to shape the equipment and processes of our workshop
- Short decision paths: your feedback to design engineering shapes the next generation of parts directly
- An interdisciplinary team drawn from automotive and motorsport, aerospace, defence and industrial manufacturing
- A permanent position with performance-based pay in a fast-growing company
The details
- Location: Schwäbisch Gmünd
- Employment type: permanent, full-time
- Working language: German and English
- Requisition ID: 14416773
