Working Student Mechanical Engineering - Drone Defense

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.
