Hardware Engineer (Manufacturing & Prototyping) | Founder

Grey Raven Technologies is a Riga-based drone and defence-tech startup. We're looking for a hands-on Hardware Engineer to turn our prototypes into reliable, field-ready units.

This is a practical role. You'll assemble, test and improve real hardware, from metal parts to finished units ready for demos and customers. You'll work directly with the founders, and your ideas on design and assembly will go straight into the product.

Why join: real hardware, real impact, a small team where you learn fast, and a clear path to a lead hardware role.

Must have:

• Enjoy working hands-on with physical components and tools
• Good technical sense and attention to detail
• Ability to follow assembly processes and spot ways to improve them
• Reliable, consistent and self-organised

Nice to have:

• Workshop, manufacturing or tooling experience
• Mechanical understanding, or DIY / maker projects
• Prototyping or small-batch production experience
• Interest in drones, robotics or defence technology

• Assemble product components (metal and other parts) into working units
• Prepare units for testing, demonstrations and customer deliveries
• Run basic quality checks and document issues
• Help with packaging and shipment preparation
• Support small-batch manufacturing and prototyping
• Suggest and implement practical design and assembly improvements
• Keep tools and the workspace in order

• Pay per unit assembled or per batch
• Flexible, task-based schedule that fits around studies
• Workspace at RTU Ķīpsala, Riga
• Opportunity to grow into a lead hardware role
• Potential equity (shares) based on contribution
• Hands-on experience in a fast-moving defence-tech startup
