About Six Robotics

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 70+ experts in defence, software, and AI develop 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. 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 and always be sharpening your blade, 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 are building a hardware enablement capability to support one of the most important challenges in the company: scaling and accelerating how we integrate, test, and deploy hardware across multiple platforms.

The team this role sits in owns the electronics domain, and we are now looking for a main resource to strengthen the team further. As we grow, the need for structured, high-quality hardware design, faster integrations, and better workflows becomes critical.

You will be a key contributor to how we work with electronics, helping enable engineering teams to move faster and more reliably.

What You Will Do

• Technical point of contact within your domain across internal teams, external consultants, and manufacturing partners

• Review and guide PCB design work from external partners, ensuring quality, correctness, and alignment with requirements

• Collaborate closely with supply chain to manage component availability, evaluate alternatives, and drive necessary redesigns

• Design and development of embedded integration hardware and systems, including interfaces, communication hardware, and embedded compute platforms

• Enable fast and reliable hardware integration across platforms

• Drive prototyping, bring-up, testing, and verification of new hardware

• Support electronics inventory and spare parts management, ensuring proper control and traceability

• Help set up and maintain lab environments and infrastructure, including equipment procurement

• Establish and improve workflows, processes, and best practices for electronics development

• Occasionally support with assembling or adapting wiring harnesses, connectors, and interfaces for office setups, CI systems, and test drones.

What success looks like (6 months)

• You are a key resource within the electronics domain in the company, and serve as a point of contact

• Hardware design and integration workflows are more structured, scalable, and predictable

• You have improved collaboration between engineering, operations, and supply chain

• External partners (consultants, manufacturers) are effectively guided and producing high-quality output

• Internal teams are moving faster due to better tooling, clearer interfaces, and reliable hardware foundations

What we are looking for

We are looking for a senior, hands-on engineer who enjoys working broadly across the hardware lifecycle and enabling others to succeed.

This is a generalist role. You will be exposed to many different problems, systems, and phases of development — and you should be comfortable navigating that.

You take ownership, make pragmatic decisions, and know how to move things forward without structured frames.

We believe the right candidate brings

• Minimum 5+ years of experience working with electronics in real-world products delivered at scale

• Strong foundation in electronic design, including schematic development and understanding of PCB design

• Experience taking hardware through multiple stages: concept, prototyping, testing, and production

• Ability to review and guide external design work (consultants, manufacturers)

• Experience working with hardware in production environments with real customers

• Broad engineering mindset with the ability to operate across disciplines

• Comfort working hands-on with physical hardware and lab environments

• Clear communication skills in English

Nice to have

• Familiarity with prototyping, bring-up, and verification processes

• Exposure to supply chain challenges and component selection

• Experience from scale-up environments or the defence sector, where you’ve worked broadly across domains

• Basic programming or scripting skills (e.g. Python)

• Understanding of UAVs, radio systems or communication hardware

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.

Our Recruitment Process

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

• Meet & Greet with someone from the team to learn more about us (60 min).

• Case assignment and personality/ability test, to be solved in your own time, followed by an in-depth interview more closely related to the specifics of the role (90 min).

• Final interview with our CTO and Head of People (45 min)

Reference check followed by an offer if everything goes well.
We consider applications continuously, so don’t hold off with applying if this looks interesting.

Our Commitment to Inclusion
At Six Robotics, we are committed to creating a workplace built on respect, integrity, and collaboration. We value different perspectives and experiences, and we believe that diversity within our team strengthens both our work and our culture. We encourage all qualified candidates to apply and help us build technology that makes a real impact.

Security Clearance Requirement

All employees at Six Robotics are required to undergo a security clearance due to our close collaboration with the Norwegian Armed Forces. While prior clearance is not necessary, the clearance process will be initiated as part of onboarding.
