About the role
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!
