Working Student – Hardware Engineering (UAS Propulsion & Power) (all genders)

Responsibilities

• Support characterisation and bench testing of motors, propellers, batteries, and power components for our UAS platforms.
• Help set up test rigs and instrumentation, and capture clean, repeatable measurement data.
• Assist with component selection and trade-offs by turning test data into clear comparisons.
• Reduce and analyse test data in MATLAB and Python — efficiency, thrust, endurance, thermal and discharge behaviour.
• Visualise results so the engineering team can make decisions from them quickly.
• Keep test setups, measurements, and findings documented and traceable.

Qualifications

• Currently enrolled in a Bachelor's or Master's in Electrical, Mechanical, Aerospace, or a comparable engineering field.
• Working knowledge of MATLAB and Python for data analysis.
• Interest in and some exposure to UAS, electric propulsion (motors / ESCs), or battery / power systems.
• Must be a citizen of a NATO member state (due to export control and security regulations).
• Practical, hands-on mindset — comfortable at the bench and with a multimeter as much as in a script.
• Good written and verbal communication skills in English; German is a plus.
• Hands-on: You like building, measuring, and finding out what really happens.
• Rigorous: You trust clean measurements over assumptions.
• Curious: You want to understand why a component behaves the way it does.

Nice to have

• Experience with test benches, DAQ, or measurement instrumentation.
• Familiarity with battery testing, thermal behaviour, or motor/propeller characterisation.
• Personal projects with drones, RC aircraft, batteries, or robotics.
