Working Student Mechanical Engineering - Drone Defense (m/w/d)

At Alpine Eagle, we’re building the future of counter-drone defence. We’re a fast-growing, international deep-tech company working at the intersection of aerospace engineering, defence systems, and machine learning. Our goal: create the world’s first swarm-based, airborne counter-drone system. Modern conflicts show how quickly drones are reshaping the battlefield. Threats are rising, and today’s solutions aren’t keeping pace. We’re here to change that. Alpine Eagle isn’t just a defence company. It’s a mission. Backed by an international team, strong funding, and a bold vision, we’re looking for people who want to shape the next generation of aerial security and build something that truly matters. 🎯 How you will make an impact: - Set up and support lab and onboard test measurements (vibration, temperature, motors, structures) - Research and prepare DAQs, sensors, and test instrumentation - Improve prototyping lab tools, layout, and workflows - Optimize 3D printing processes and part quality - Support prototyping, assembly, and test activities - Manage 3D printing operations and part post-processing - Assist with component selection and engineering documentation (ISO 9001/9100) - Provide hands-on support during peak workload phases ✅ What you need to be successful: - Valid work permit (citizenship or visa) for Germany - Currently enrolled in a university within Germany - Aerospace, mechanical engineering, or similar background - CAD and 3D printing experience - Knowledge of electronics and embedded systems (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, sensors, DAQs) - Understanding of drone/aircraft design and development cycles - Hands-on, proactive, and organized team player - Comfortable working autonomously in lab and workshop environments - Driving license is a plus, not required At Alpine Eagle, you're not just taking a job - you're joining a mission.
