Destinus is a new kind of European defence and aerospace industrial company. We design and manufacture autonomous drones, strike-effectors, and counter-drone systems to help European nations defend themselves in a world of cheap, mass-produced threats.
Today, Destinus is an international team of over 800 engineers and specialists based in the Netherlands, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, France, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom. Our talented people come from top aerospace, defence, and robotics companies. They join us because they want their work to matter.
What you work on at Destinus does not stay in presentations. It becomes systems that are tested, deployed, and iterated in real conditions. Reality is the feedback loop; performance matters.
Destinus is vertically integrated by design. You can delve deeply into autonomy, guidance, perception, propulsion, energetics, integration, and manufacturing while staying connected to the entire system. You can see how choices in code, materials, and production change outcomes.
We don’t run decade-long programmes. We run short loops: design, build, test, and iterate. The pace is not pressure; it is an advantage. If you want to see your work move from concept to flight test and into production quickly, this is the ideal surrounding.
We’re building a European neo-prime for the age of mass-produced threats. That means industrialisation is not an afterthought. It’s our core capability. Our goal is not just one single exquisite platform or a one-off breakthrough. It’s a reliable output. It is a repeatable quality. It is systems that can be produced at scale.
You work with engineers and operators who have built real things in aerospace, defence, and robotics. We hire adults: high standards, low ego. No theatre. No passengers.
There are small teams. There is absolute ownership. There is minimal bureaucracy. If you’re good, you won’t be micromanaged. You’ll be trusted to ship.
Destinus is unapologetically defence-focused. Our work is about deterrence through capability and protection through scale. We build systems that help allied nations defend critical infrastructure, soldiers, and civilians reliably, affordably, and at speed.
If you want a comfortable job, you can find one anywhere. So, if you’re into building systems that really matter, fast and scalable, and built to keep bad actors in check, then yes, you’ll enjoy Tuesdays here.
