Junior Hardware Lab Technicians (Part-Time)
Join Six Robotics as a junior hardware lab technician (part-time), gain hands-on UAV experience, flexible hours, and contribute to cutting-edge defense tech.
At Six Robotics, we build intelligent software that gives Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) the ability to collaborate, adapt on the fly, and execute missions that were previously impossible. From our base in Oslo, our 40+ experts in defence, software, and AI develop Valkyrie, our flagship autonomy and swarm platform used by both government and industry. In close partnership with the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI), we move fast from concept to live deployment, often in the field alongside end users.
We work with advanced hardware and software, a modern tech stack, and missions that demand both technical mastery and operational discipline. Everyone is close to the action, from deep technical problem-solving to field operations. We move fast and value clarity, integrity, and teamwork in everything we do.
At Six Robotics, every person executes with precision, adapts to changing conditions, and strengthens the team. We only hire the best. Getting in is hard, and you’ll be challenged every day. But if you have the skill, the discipline, and the drive to push your limits, you’ll find no better place to deliver real-world impact while collaborating and learning from the best in the field.
About The Role
We're looking for two motivated junior hardware lab technicians to join us in flexible, part-time positions (20% with the option for more hours during busy periods). This is a great opportunity for students who want to gain hands-on experience and build relevant skills in a fast-paced lab environment.
You’ll be part of a small and hands-on hardware team, supporting our work with assembling and maintaining test setups, lab equipment, and prototyping tools. The work varies from week to week, and so does the workload, but you’ll have a good degree of flexibility to plan when and how you contribute, as long as we align on priorities together.
You will be working on a variety of assignments, from small, practical tasks to larger projects.
You will also be contributing directly to the defense industry, which is a key part of our mission, so it is important that you are comfortable with working in this environment.
What You Will Do
- Mechanical assembly and setup of new test equipment.
- Basic electronics work (Assembling cable/wiring harnesses, connectors and modules, basic soldering).
- Maintaining and organizing the lab, keeping it clean, functional, and safe.
- Operating and maintaining 3D printers.
- Supporting development of test setups and supporting equipment as required.
- Configuration, calibration, testing and tuning of UAVs.
This is a great opportunity to work hands-on with real hardware, get close to the industry and contribute to a fast-moving tech environment.
What We Are Looking For
We're looking for someone who is curious, proactive, and hands-on, someone who enjoys solving practical challenges and takes pride in creating structure where it's needed. You should be comfortable working independently, but also enjoy being part of a team where things move quickly and priorities shift. Most importantly, we value motivation and a genuine interest in the field.
We believe you'll thrive in this role if you are:
- Currently studying mechanical engineering, mechatronics, technical cybernetics, or a similar technical program.
- Interested in hardware, prototyping, and physical systems.
- Comfortable taking initiative and working with minimal supervision.
- Bonus if you’ve built something cool on your own or in school, we’d love to see it!
Why You Should Join
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.
