Working Student Robotic Software Development (m/w/d)

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.

 

🎯 How you will make an impact:

• Take part in the development of software components that enable development and operation of our next-generation airborne counter UAS solutions. Depending on your personal qualification, this may cover simulation, algorithms, tooling, and/or infrastructure. 

• Collaborate closely with the hard- and software team to deliver seamless integration and continuous improvement. 

• Evaluate and test your software in our lab and at our test sites. 

✅ What you need to be successful:

• Background in informatics, electrical engineering, or a similar field. 

• Strong programming skills, particularly in Python; experience with C++ is literally a plus. 

• Proven track record in applied software development using version control, agile methods, and test-driven development. 

• Experience in developing and shipping real-world robotic applications that are powered by ROS (2). 

• Experience with robotic simulators (at least one of Gazebo, MuJoCo, Isaac Gym, or Airsim) and PX4-based flight controllers is a plus. 

• Proactive and organized team player. 

• Valid work permit (citizenship or visa) for Germany. 

• Currently enrolled in a university within Germany. 

 

At Alpine Eagle, we are committed to diversity and equal opportunity. We welcome applications from all individuals regardless of ethnic origin, gender, religion, disability, age, or sexual identity.
