The opportunity

A Munich-based deep tech company is developing next-generation datalink platforms for high-performance UAV communications. They're hiring a Customer Success Engineer to own the technical relationship with UAV manufacturer customers - from first hardware delivery through full deployment and flight validation.

This is not account management. You are a technical owner who happens to face the customer, and the customer's engineers will expect you to keep up.

What you'll do

Own the integration of datalink systems into customer UAV platforms, from first hardware delivery through flight validation
Work directly alongside customer engineering teams to resolve integration challenges, debug issues, and get systems performing correctly in the field
Define and execute integration test plans together with customers and the internal team, document results, and close open issues systematically
Manage multiple customer projects in parallel, tracking status and ensuring nothing stalls without a clear next action
Feed customer learnings back into product and engineering: integration friction, failure modes, feature gaps, field performance data
Build strong working relationships with customer-side engineers and technical leads
Travel to customer sites and test facilities across Europe - for those who want it, exposure to operational environments including Ukraine is available

What you bring

3-6 years in a technical integration, field engineering, or customer-facing engineering role, ideally with hardware products
Hands-on: comfortable on a bench, reading schematics, running tests, and debugging in the field when things don't work as expected
Enough RF and embedded systems knowledge to understand what the product does, why integration can be non-trivial, and where to start when something fails
Fast-moving and pragmatic - UAV manufacturer timelines are aggressive and customers won't wait
Clear communicator in English and German
Organised enough to manage several active integrations at once without losing track

Bonus:

Direct experience with UAV platforms, UAV manufacturers, or avionics integration
Background in RF, communications, or SDR systems
Experience working with customers in operational or near-operational environments
