At Six Robotics, you're not just joining a company;
You're joining a mission to reshape the future of autonomous systems.

At Six Robotics, we’re transforming how unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) operate, making them smarter, more capable, and easier to manage. Our mission is to revolutionize unmanned systems through intelligent software solutions that are scalable, reliable, and built to deliver real-world impact.

As we grow, we’re building a platform that brings modern software and AI to a hardware-dominated industry, unlocking new levels of performance, flexibility, and accessibility in the air. Whether you're driven by innovation, national impact, or meaningful tech, this is your chance to help build something that matters from the ground up.

Our flagship software platform, Valkyrie, brings advanced autonomy and swarm technology to UAVs, enabling multiple drones to collaborate seamlessly, adapt to complex missions, and perform with greater independence. Partnering with the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI), we’re at the forefront of UAV innovation, delivering cutting-edge solutions to both government and industry clients.

We’re a tight-knit team of 20+ people based in Oslo, Norway, combining expertise in defense, software, and AI. As a startup, we move fast, work closely, and value clarity, integrity, and teamwork in everything we do.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Recruitment Lead to take full ownership of our recruitment function at Six Robotics. This is our first internal hire in talent acquisition, and you’ll be responsible for building the systems, structure, and strategy that will support our growth.

As a Recruitment Lead, you won’t just fill roles to increase headcount. You’ll be part of shaping how we grow, define how we hire, and help set the bar for what great talent looks like. From high-volume technical hiring to crafting appealing job ads, building employer branding, and stakeholder coaching, you’ll work across the entire company to make sure we hire the right people, at the right time, in the right way.

Although you’ll be joining as our first internal hire in recruitment, you will not be our last. We know the scale of growth coming over the next few years, and we’re building a solid recruitment function to match that. Today, we work with an embedded recruitment partner who supports the business across multiple roles. As Recruitment Lead, you’ll step in to take ownership, lead both internal and external resources, and lay the foundation for an internal team that can scale with us.

What You Will Do

• Own recruitment across the company, from roadmap to process to delivery, in close collaboration with the management team to align on priorities, timelines, and headcount. Track key recruitment metrics and use data to guide decisions, improve efficiency, and report on progress.
  
• Run full-cycle recruitment for key roles (technical, non-technical, and leadership) while coordinating and supporting both internal and external recruiters.
  
• Design and implement scalable, data-informed recruitment processes. Build structured, efficient systems that enable us to hire at speed without compromising on quality. Explore automation opportunities and AI tools to improve sourcing, screening, and overall recruitment operations.
  
• Deliver a consistently excellent candidate experience, ensuring clear, timely communication and thoughtful feedback throughout every stage of the process.
  
• Own our employer brand and continuously strengthen our presence in the candidate market through our careers page, social media, and university relations. Drive visibility through creative initiatives such as press articles, events, and podcasts.
  
• Act as the go-to person for everything recruitment at Six Robotics. Train and support hiring managers, manage recruitment budgets and external vendors, and ensure best practices are applied across every stage of the hiring process.

What We Are Looking For

We’re looking for someone who’s been in the field for a few years already, cracked tough searches, and built great teams under pressure. You know how to turn ambiguity into structure, translating vague hiring needs into clear job descriptions, sharp scorecards, and scalable processes. You’ve seen what works (and what doesn’t), and you bring a pragmatic, resilient approach to high-growth environments. You’re a trusted partner to the business, confident managing stakeholders, and you hold a high bar for both quality and speed.

On the hard skills side of things, we are looking for someone who has:

• Full-cycle recruitment experience from a fast-scaling tech company or an agency working with one (or more).
• Hands-on sourcing skills and a strong track record hiring for technical roles such as software engineers, robotics engineers, AI/ML engineers, or similar.
• Proven ability to build an employer brand and write strong job ads that lead to an increase in qualified inbound applicants.
• Experience in setting and managing a hiring roadmap, including prioritization, planning, and working with senior stakeholders.
• A track record of working with and guiding hiring managers and C-level leaders. You're a trusted advisor, not just a service provider
• Full professional proficiency in both Norwegian and English, spoken and written.

We know this is a broad role with a lot of responsibility, and we don’t expect you to have all the answers from day one. But if you’re the kind of person who gets energy from building, solving, and figuring things out as you go, and who knows how to be pragmatic when things move faster than you’d maybe like, then we would love to speak to you.

Why You Should Join Six Robotics

At Six Robotics, we're not just building software - we're redefining how unmanned systems operate in the real world. If you're driven by meaningful problems, technical depth, and the chance to shape something from the ground up, you'll find your place here.

• Work on problems that matter: Our technology helps unlock smarter, safer, and more adaptable UAV operations in defense and industry, solving real challenges with direct, tangible impact.
• Lead the shift in a hardware-dominated space: We're bringing modern AI, autonomy, and scalable software into a field that's long relied on rigid, pre-programmed systems, to change how UAVs are designed, deployed, and managed.
• Build from zero, shape the future: Join early and help define the core systems, tools, and culture of a company that’s still being built - where your ideas, code, and decisions will have a lasting influence.
• Work with purpose, supported by great benefits: You'll be part of a mission-driven team that values clarity, integrity, and collaboration, offering competitive pay, equity potential, strong insurance and pension plans, and ongoing learning opportunities.

Our Recruitment Process 

Yes, we know there’s a certain irony in making a recruiter go through a recruitment process with a recruiter to become our Recruitment Lead. But hey, if anyone gets it, it’s you. We aim to keep our process short and sweet, but also thorough. As a small team, every hire matters, and we can’t afford to get this one wrong.

Here’s what to expect:

1. Screening interview with one of our recruiters to get to know you better (30 min)

2. Meet & Greet with someone from the team to learn more about us (45 min)

3. Structured case interview to get to know you even better (90 min)

4. Final interview and a chance to meet with the management team (45 min)

5. Reference check followed by an offer if everything goes well.

If you have any questions about the role, feel free to reach out to celine@sixrobotics.com. We look forward to hearing from you!
