Grob Aircraft has been designing and building aircraft in Bavaria for decades - from trainers and composite airframes to some of the most advanced aeronautical structures in the world. Engineering excellence and precision manufacturing are what we do.
Together with Helsing, our mother company and Europe's leading defence AI company, we are now taking on our most ambitious programme yet: the CA-1 Europa, Europe's first AI combat aircraft. This is not a study or a roadmap. We are designing, building, and testing - right now, right here.
We are a hands-on team of engineers who build things that fly. We take pride in short paths from idea to prototype, in solving hard problems pragmatically, and in seeing our work take to the sky. We are looking for people who think the same way - and who understand that this work matters for the security and sovereignty of Europe.
