HAT.tec is an internationally operating software start-up in the fields of aviation and defense. We are convinced that the future lies in the collaboration between humans and machines — known as Human Autonomy Teaming.
Our focus is on the development and application of technologies for the collaborative and coordinated deployment of manned and unmanned systems (Manned-Unmanned Teaming), always keeping people at the center.
Our technology is built for those operating in complex, safety-critical environments: pilots, operators, crew members, and decision-makers who work every day to ensure safety and freedom for others.
Our mission is to develop intelligent, human-centered software solutions that support critical operations — and make a visible difference where it matters most.
And this is where you come in:
To strengthen our team, we are looking for an experienced and dedicated Bench & Simulator Engineer (m/f/d) who will take technical ownership of our bench, testing, and simulator landscape.
In this role, you will design scalable and reproducible integration and simulation environments and ensure a consistent technical foundation across various projects. You will work closely with Software Development, Product Management, Field Solutions, and customer-facing teams to create stable environments for integration, verification, demonstrations, and training.
