Description
We are hiring!
Bifrost Defence is looking for a Working Student in Aerospace Engineering for our product company Luft.
About Luft
Luft builds tethered and free-flying aerostat and kite platforms, plus a powered airship, with in-house ground stations, for persistent, low-cost aerial overwatch. Based in Munich, Germany, with field testing in Ukraine. Luft is one of Bifrost Defence's product companies, currently in flight-test prep.
The role
You develop and simulate aerostats and balloons in real-world scenarios, then iterate them into the next version. We agree on your focus together, based on your background, with clear ownership, a clear result, and a clear deadline. Twenty hours a week, arranged around your timetable, working directly with the technical lead.
Tasks
- Support design, build, and testing of aerostat, kite, and airship platforms
- Run simulations and analyze test data to inform the next design iteration
- Work with suppliers and vendors on component specs and integration
- Document test results and technical findings for the engineering team
- Help prepare hardware and logistics for field tests in Germany and Ukraine
- You own project outcomes from start to finish and drive your own initiatives
Requirements
- You are studying aerospace engineering, aeronautics, or something similar, and are in the later stages of your studies
- Proficiency in Python or C++
- Previous experience with Zeppelins or aerostats is a plus
- Fluent in English; German strongly preferred
Benefits
- Hands-on work on hardware that's actually flying, not a simulation exercise
- Direct line to the technical lead, your ideas get tested, not filed
- Real flight-test exposure in Germany and Ukraine
- A small team where your work moves the platform forward, fast
We are looking forward to your application!
