About the Role 

We are seeking an experienced Through Life Support Engineer to lead training, deployment, and support solutions for complex defence and aerospace systems. You will act as a key link between engineering teams and operational users, translating real‑world requirements into robust, operationally effective support solutions.

At Frankenburg, you will join an exceptional team bringing together leading engineering and defence expertise from across Europe. You will have real ownership and influence, shaping practical training, deployment, and sustainment solutions that keep systems mission-ready and directly enable mission success.

Key Responsibilities 

• Training Systems Development
  Design and maintain user, operator, and maintainer training solutions aligned with system architecture and mission needs.

• Deployment & User Support
  Define and manage deployment support concepts, ensuring users have clear guidance, documentation, and sustainment pathways.

• Through Life Support Engineering
  Develop and evolve support strategies, maintenance approaches, and sustainment plans from concept through disposal. 

• Operational Insight
  Apply real‑world military experience to shape practical, mission‑ready training and support solution. 

• Requirements & Compliance
  Define and manage training and support requirements, ensuring they meet defence standards and customer expectations. 

• Stakeholder Collaboration
  Work closely with military users, internal programme teams, suppliers, and training authorities.

• Documentation & Governance
  Create high quality training materials, deployment guidance, and through‑life support documentation to support safe and sustained operational use. 

• Continuous Improvement
  Continuously improve training, fielding, and sustainment based on user feedback, lessons learned, and operational experience. 

We Would Love You to Have

• Educational Background 
  Degree in Engineering, Aerospace, Defence Studies, or a related discipline. 

• Experience
  Former military professional with practical operational or deployment experience. Background in operating, supporting, or sustaining complex systems is highly desirable. 

• Technical Skills
  Proven experience in training system design, Integrated Logistic Support (ILS), requirements management, sustainment engineering, and working to defence standards.

• Soft Skills
  Solution-oriented mindset, excellent communication, effective instructor, structured thinker, and trusted bridge between engineering teams and end users. Strong focus on delivery and user-centred support solutions that enhance mission readiness and operational capability.

• 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. 

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.
