Process Engineer – Drone Manufacturing

Develop, implement, and continuously improve manufacturing and assembly processes for drone electronics, subsystems, and complete drone platforms.

About Orqa FPV

Founded in 2018 in Croatia, Orqa has grown from a hardware consulting firm into one of Europe’s leading drone technology companies. We design and manufacture advanced FPV and unmanned systems used by enterprise, industrial, and defense clients worldwide. With fully vertically integrated operations — covering design, electronics, optics, firmware, software, and in-house manufacturing — we maintain complete control over quality, performance, and supply chain reliability. This allows us to iterate quickly, optimize every part of the system, and deliver products that meet demanding real-world requirements. Today, Orqa products are used in more than 50 countries, with over 100,000 units delivered in 2024. Our mission is to build the enabling technologies for the future of Remote Reality and set new standards in the aerial robotics industry.

At Orqa, we’re building technology that allows humans and machines to see the world like never before. We bring together engineers, creators, and innovators who push the boundaries of what’s possible - from cutting-edge FPV systems to advanced Remote Reality solutions, and toward the next generation of robotics. And behind every great technology, there’s great organization.

We're looking for a Process Engineer – Drone Manufacturing to develop, implement, and improve the manufacturing and assembly processes behind our electronic drone components and complete drone platforms.


You'll bridge product development and day-to-day manufacturing, translating engineering requirements into reliable and scalable production processes while working closely with Engineering, Production, Quality, Supply Chain, and Test teams.



WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Develop, implement, and continuously improve manufacturing and assembly processes for drone electronics, subsystems, and complete drone platforms

  • Translate product requirements, drawings, and engineering data into reliable and scalable manufacturing methods

  • Review product designs for manufacturability and assembly (DFM/DFA) and recommend improvements

  • Define production processes, tooling, fixtures, equipment, work instructions, inspection points, and testing requirements

  • Support prototype builds, New Product Introduction (NPI), production transfer, ramp-up, and implementation of product and process changes

  • Develop and improve in-process inspection, functional testing, end-of-line testing, and process validation activities

  • Investigate production and process issues, perform root-cause analysis, and drive corrective actions

  • Improve process capability, yield, cycle time, quality, efficiency, and scalability through standardization, automation, waste reduction, and continuous improvement


WHAT WE EXPECT

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, Mechatronics, Manufacturing, Industrial Engineering, or a related technical field

  • Professional experience in process, manufacturing, production, industrial engineering, or a closely related technical role

  • Hands-on knowledge of manufacturing and assembly processes for electronic, electromechanical, or mechanically integrated products

  • Knowledge of electronic manufacturing processes, including PCB assembly, soldering, ESD control, component handling, and functional testing

  • Experience developing, documenting, implementing, and improving manufacturing or assembly processes

  • Ability to work with technical drawings, specifications, BOMs, work instructions, process documentation, and engineering changes

  • Experience with structured problem-solving, root-cause analysis, corrective actions, process validation, and continuous improvement

  • Strong analytical, cross-functional communication, and English language skills



NICE TO HAVE

  • Experience with PCBAs, ESCs, flight controllers, batteries, propulsion systems, or complete drone assembly

  • Experience with NPI, prototype builds, production transfer, or production ramp-up

  • Knowledge of DFM/DFA, Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, or similar process-improvement methodologies

  • Familiarity with manufacturing systems, automation, CAD, or test and data-acquisition tools
