Working Student Prototyping - Drones (m/w/d)

Role Summary

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.

As a Working Student in Prototyping, you will support the development and integration of hardware components for our drone platforms and counter-UAS systems. You will work closely with our flight test team and engineering leads, helping to design, build, modify, and test prototypes. This is a highly practical role for someone who loves building things!
