Help build the world’s next missile house!

Frankenburg builds missile systems and production models for the realities of modern defence: mass aerial threats, rapid replenishment needs and sustained industrial-scale operations.

This is hard, urgent work with direct strategic impact. We are looking for engineers, operators and builders who take ownership, move fast, solve problems under pressure and want their work to matter.

Our values

Our mission is ambitious, and it takes a team with the same intensity to achieve it.

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.
