Description

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 Six Robotics delivers advanced autonomy software deployed on UAV platforms produced across multiple manufacturing partners. As production scales, we are establishing the Manufacturing Operations Engineer role to build and own the operational backbone that enables reliable, scalable production across partners. You will ensure that Six Robotics can move from successful engineering development to consistent, repeatable delivery at scale. You will have an important role in establishing, operating, and continuously improving the production processes that ensure software can be reliably deployed in manufacturing. You will ensure that the right software version is deployed onto the right hardware, in the right volume, with the right quality, at the right time. This role sits at the intersection of engineering, manufacturing, and operations. You will act as the technical bridge between factory floors and internal engineering teams, translating real production challenges into actionable technical solutions while ensuring production runs smoothly across partners. What You Will Do Production Deployment Responsible for the deployment process of Six Robotics software onto partner production lines Scale and operationalise drone flashing across manufacturing partners Ensure correct software version, configuration, and production readiness Plan & Coordinate Production Coordinate production volumes and align deployment with project timelines Book and prepare production windows with partners Support ramp-up of new platforms and production programs Integrate Into Factories Travel to partner sites to set up and validate production deployments Lead or participate in Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) Integrate deployment workflows into existing factory operations Train and support operators in deployment procedures and production workflows Solve Problems Where They Happen Act as first-line technical support during production Diagnose issues on the factory floor and translate them into actionable engineering feedback Ensure Traceability & Quality Maintain full traceability of deployed software across produced units Build documentation and repeatable processes enabling scalable production What we are looking for This role requires someone who can operate across disciplines, combining strong engineering credibility with hands-on operational execution. You have a practical understanding of production or manufacturing environments and are comfortable working directly on factory floors. You think in structured ways and are able to break down complex operational issues into clear, technical problems that engineering teams can act on. You communicate effectively with engineers, while staying grounded in real-world production constraints. You are curious, self-driven, and motivated by solving problems in environments where software meets hardware and things need to work in practice. We believe the right candidate brings: Several years of experience working with production lines, manufacturing environments, or software deployment into production systems Technical educational background (engineering or similar) Experience working close to hardware, embedded systems, or production environments Strong technical understanding enabling effective communication with engineering teams Experience participating in or supporting Factory Acceptance Tests or similar validation activities Ability to operate independently in ambiguous, fast-moving environments Excellent communication skills in English Nice-to-haves: Experience from consumer electronics, EMS (Electronics Manufacturing Services), or high-volume production environments Embedded software or firmware experience Experience deploying software onto hardware products at scale Experience working with external manufacturing partners Background from robotics, defence, aerospace, or industrial systems 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.
