Swarm UAV-based counter-UAS system
At Alpine Eagle, we’re building the future of counter-drone defence. We’re a fast-growing, international deep-tech company working at the intersection of aerospace engineering, defence systems, and machine learning. Our goal: create the world’s first swarm-based, airborne counter-drone system.
Modern conflicts show how quickly drones are reshaping the battlefield. Threats are rising, and today’s solutions aren’t keeping pace. We’re here to change that.
Alpine Eagle isn’t just a defence company. It’s a mission. Backed by an international team, strong funding, and a bold vision, we’re looking for people who want to shape the next generation of aerial security and build something that truly matters.
🎯 How you will make an impact:
Set up and support lab and onboard test measurements (vibration, temperature, motors, structures)
Research and prepare DAQs, sensors, and test instrumentation
Improve prototyping lab tools, layout, and workflows
Optimize 3D printing processes and part quality
Support prototyping, assembly, and test activities
Manage 3D printing operations and part post-processing
Assist with component selection and engineering documentation (ISO 9001/9100)
Provide hands-on support during peak workload phases
✅ What you need to be successful:
Aerospace, mechanical engineering, or similar background
CAD and 3D printing experience
Knowledge of electronics and embedded systems (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, sensors, DAQs)
Understanding of drone/aircraft design and development cycles
Hands-on, proactive, and organized team player
Comfortable working autonomously in lab and workshop environments
Driving license is a plus, not required
At Alpine Eagle, you're not just taking a job - you're joining a mission.
Swarm UAV-based counter-UAS system
Alpine Eagle builds an air-to-air counter-drone system called Sentinel. It uses a swarm of networked, European-made UAVs equipped with 360-degree active radar to detect and track unauthorized drones, forming a layered defense against UAS threats. The system combines hardware (UAVs and radar) with software to coordinate detection, targeting, and response across the swarm. Unlike traditional counter-UAS solutions, Alpine Eagle focuses on a cost-efficient approach by leveraging a swarm of purpose-built drones rather than single large interceptors, aiming to provide scalable, networked defense for defense and security clients. Their goal is to offer a complete Sentinel package (hardware, software, and support) to protect critical airspace and assets from rogue drones, with a business model likely based on system sales plus maintenance and services.
