Senior Airsoft Product Engineer at Novritsch: Build the Gear the World Plays With

Novritsch is the world's leading direct-to-consumer airsoft brand, built by players, for players. From our HQ in Vienna, we develop innovative products, manufacture with long-term partners in Asia, and ship to customers in 80+ countries. With a team of 50+ experts managing everything in-house, we move fast, take ownership, and build products we're proud of.

We're looking for a Senior Product Engineer who can take an idea from sketch to a finished product on a store shelf. You'll own the technical side of new airsoft hardware, from early concept and prototyping through design-for-manufacturing and mass production in Asia. If you know how a gearbox actually works, how to design a part so it survives a production line instead of dying in QC, and how to work with a factory instead of just emailing them, this is your role.

What You'll Do

•

Design new airsoft products from concept through to mass production, owning the technical outcome end to end

•

Apply design-for-manufacturing principles so products are reliable, cost-efficient, and easy to produce at scale

•

Work directly with our manufacturing partners in Asia on tooling, prototyping, and production issues

•

Solve the real problems: tolerances, material choice, durability, cost per unit, and how to hit deadlines without cutting corners

•

Test products yourself and bring a player's understanding of performance into every design decision

•

Work closely with Product, Operations, and Marketing in Vienna to make sure what you build actually ships

Who You Are

•

An active airsoft player who understands what the community actually wants from their gear

•

Deep hands-on experience developing airsoft or similar mechanical consumer products, from prototype to mass production

•

Strong understanding of design-for-manufacturing and what it takes to produce reliably in Asia

•

Comfortable owning a product technically without needing a team to execute through

•

The type who solves problems at the source instead of passing them along

Why You'll Love Working Here

•

Real ownership: the products you design are the ones people play with worldwide

•

Work on hardware from first sketch to shipping container, not just one slice of it

•

A motivated, international team that moves fast and gets things done

•

Hybrid flexibility, flat hierarchies, short decision paths

•

Up to 50% product discount (max. €1,000/year)

•

Subsidized meals + access to Corporate Benefits

•

Well connected to Vienna's public transport network

•

Final salary is market-based, depending on your experience and qualifications.

What You Bring

•

You are an active airsoft player who understands airsoft guns, gear and the problems players experience in the field

•

Strong hands-on experience developing mechanical products from prototype to mass production

•

Very good understanding of mechanical design, CAD, tolerances, materials and manufacturing processes

•

Strong knowledge of Design for Manufacturing

•

Experience working directly with manufacturers, ideally in Asia

•

Ability to independently own the technical development of a product

•

Practical problem-solving mindset: you investigate the root cause and fix it

•

You are comfortable making technical decisions and taking responsibility for the outcome

•

You work fast, communicate directly and know when more testing or analysis is necessary

•

Experience developing airsoft, paintball, sporting goods, outdoor equipment, RC, drones, consumer hardware or similar mechanical products is a strong advantage

•

English at C1 level or higher

•

German is a plus, but not required
