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.
