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! 

🎯 How you will make an impact:

  • Support the mechanical and electrical prototyping of drone systems
  • Assist in CAD design of components and assemblies
  • Manufacture and modify parts using 3D printing and workshop tools
  • Perform cable harnessing and wiring work
  • Integrate electronic components, radio links, and communication modules
  • Support hardware integration and preparation for flight testing
  • Assist during field and flight test activities
  • Document prototypes, iterations, and improvements

What you need to be successful:

  • Currently enrolled student in Engineering (Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics or similar)
  • Strong hands-on experience in building and tinkering (e.g., model aircraft clubs, university design teams, personal projects)
  • Experience with CAD software
  • Familiar with 3D printing and basic workshop tools
  • Practical knowledge of electronics integration and wiring
  • Interest in drones, UAV systems, and counter-UAS technologies
  • Structured, independent, and proactive working style
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment
