Systems Proving Engineer

About the Role 

We are seeking a Systems Proving Engineer to support the planning, execution, and reporting of system proving activities across field, integration, and environmental testing. You will take a hands‑on role in preparing and conducting tests, developing effective test approaches, and ensuring reliable system performance in both operational and laboratory environments.

At Frankenburg, you will join a team of leading experts building next‑generation defence systems. In this fast‑paced environment, your work will directly shape how we verify, integrate, validate, and continuously improve advanced technologies. If you enjoy systematic thinking, problem solving, and practical engineering impact — we’d love to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities 

• System Proving Execution
  Plan and support system proving activities, including test plans, procedures, equipment, and safe execution in field and lab environments.

• Test Approach & Method Definition
  Support defining test approaches, methods, and acceptance criteria to verify system performance and compliance.

• Hands‑On Testing
  Work hands‑on with hardware and software to configure, operate, troubleshoot, and validate systems during testing.

• Issue Investigation & Resolution
  Investigate test results, identify root causes, and collaborate with engineers to drive effective solutions.

• Analysis, Reporting & Improvement
  Analyse data, produce clear reports, and contribute to improving system performance and test methods.

• Cross‑Functional Collaboration
  Collaborate with engineering teams and support testing, reviews, and demonstrations as needed.

We Would Love You to Have

• Educational Background 
  A Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or a related technical discipline.

• Experience
  Experience in test, trials, integration, verification, validation, electronics, systems engineering, or similar within a complex engineering environment. Defence experience is an advantage but not essential.

• Technical Skills
  Hands-on experience supporting system design, integration, and validation. Comfortable working with equipment, instrumentation, and system configurations in both laboratory and field environments.

• Soft Skills
  Proactive and solution-oriented, with strong communication, planning, and collaboration skills. Able to take ownership, think systematically, and work independently in a fast-paced engineering 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 Riga, Latvia.

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.
