Job Description

About the Role

We are seeking an Electronics and Software Team Lead to provide technical leadership across the design, development, and integration of electronic systems and embedded software for advanced missile weapon systems. Reporting to the Head of Design, you will lead and mentor a strong team of engineers while taking ownership of key technical decisions and overall solution quality. You will ensure the delivery of robust electronic solutions and innovative software from initial concept through to full-scale deployment.

At Frankenburg, you will join an exceptional team of leading experts in technology and national defence, building next-generation defence missile systems for the free world. You will work in a fast-paced environment where your contribution shapes how we verify and demonstrate advanced defence systems. If you thrive on innovation and impact — we want to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

• Technical Leadership
  Lead the Electronics and Software team in developing advanced electronic systems and embedded software for next‑generation missile platforms. Provide hands‑on technical leadership across design reviews, troubleshooting, and problem solving, taking ownership of key technical decisions.

• Team Leadership
  Coach and support team members, encourage professional growth, and foster a collaborative, high‑performing engineering environment.

• Design Ownership
  Oversee the creation, analysis, review, and approval of electronic system designs, embedded software, and technical documentation, including specifications, validation reports, and engineering assessments.

• Cross‑Functional Integration
  Work closely with systems, mechanical, test, and other engineering teams to ensure seamless system integration.

• Standards, Quality & Compliance
  Ensure compliance with electronics and software standards, quality processes, and regulatory requirements.

• Continuous Improvement
  Drive improvements in system reliability, software performance, development efficiency, and cost effectiveness.

We Would Love You to Have

• Educational Background
  A technical degree in Aerospace, Electronics, Robotics or Software Engineering, or a related field.

• Experience
  Strong experience in technical leadership, guiding engineers through complex development challenges. Previous experience leading teams is a strong advantage. Able to inspire, mentor, and develop engineering talent while building a collaborative, high‑performing team culture.

• Technical Expertise
  Strong background in electronic system design and/or embedded software development, ideally within the complex weapons or advanced defence systems sector.

• Soft Skills
  Proactive and solution‑oriented, with excellent communication skills and the ability to balance multiple priorities in a fast‑paced environment.

• Mission Alignment
  Strong alignment with our mission to build affordable and mass-manufacturable defence technologies — ensuring every euro spent moves us closer to our goal.

• Security Clearance
  Willingness to undergo a background check as a condition of employment.

• Open to Relocate
  Willingness to relocate to Tallinn or Riga.

Our Values

Our mission is ambitious, and it takes a team that works with the same intensity.

• Own the Mission: Mission first. Always.
  We choose impact — we focus on what moves the mission forward fastest instead of “nice-to-haves". We fix it now — when delays or problems appear, we step up, rally the right people, and solve them immediately. We keep momentum — when time matters, we stay focused and move forward without waiting for perfect conditions.

• Strive for More: Dare more. Do more. Achieve the impossible.
  We challenge the status quo — we question, test, and improve instead of accepting “the usual way.” We embrace discomfort — we step outside comfort zones and turn challenges into growth. We anticipate the future — we build solutions that scale and set higher standards each time.

• Build with Trust: Be open. Keep promises.
  We walk the talk — what we say, we do. No excuses, no exceptions. We share openly — we communicate clearly and early, even when the news is hard. We own outcomes — we admit errors quickly, fix them, and prevent them from repeating.
