Aerospace Engineer - Working Student Luft

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!
