Working Student - Automated Testing (Droneport) (m/f/d)

About the role:

As a Working Student in Automated Testing, you will help develop a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test

environment for our Droneport at Quantum-Systems. You will combine Python development with hands-on work

on a real Droneport, drone hardware and a dedicated test rig.

Over approximately one year, you will take ownership of a project from test-rig design and setup to repeatable

automated tests. Working closely with the Droneport development team, you will help identify faults earlier and

improve system reliability. The project offers room to explore solutions, make technical proposals and work

independently with support from the team.

What is your Day to Day Mission:

• Design and build a HIL test setup with a real Droneport inside a protective cage, using a rail-guided or

  suspended drone to reproduce controlled movement.

• Connect and control hardware, sensors and interfaces using Python.
• Develop automated test cases for stationary and moving-drone scenarios, including repeatable test sequences

  and clear pass/fail criteria.

• Capture logs and measurements, investigate failures and document test results.
• Explore extensions such as controlled wind or rain simulation where feasible.
• Help integrate automated tests into the development workflow and CI/CD where practical.
