Description provided by DE-ORB
Work directly with the founding team of a deep tech defence startup building passive multi-sensor counter-drone systems. This role sits at the centre of everything — research, grants, pitch materials, partnerships, and operations. No two days are the same.
What you'll do
- Prepare investor pitch materials, one-pagers, and partner LOIs
- Research C-UAS market, competitors, regulation, and procurement landscapes
- Coordinate with technical partners, advisors, and external stakeholders
- Own ad-hoc tasks that move the company forward — from logistics to LinkedIn
- Support DIANA, EUDIS, and ZOLLHOF grant applications — research, writing, formatting
Who you are
- Studying engineering, physics, business, or a related field — or recently graduated
- Curious about defence tech, deep tech, and how startups are built from zero
- Excellent written English
- Fast, self-directed, and comfortable with ambiguity
- Based in or able to work from Nuremberg / Bavaria
What you get
- Front-row seat to building a deep tech startup in the European defence space
- Direct mentorship from founders from INSEAD business school with long industry experience
- Real ownership — your work ships, not sits in a drawer
- Equity conversation possible for outstanding contributors
Working student essentials
What this Operations internship in Nuremberg means for you — pay rules, social contributions, and what international students should check before applying.
Weekly hours
Internships have no 20-hour cap, but a voluntary internship longer than three months generally has to pay at least the German minimum wage. Mandatory internships in your study programme are exempt.
Working student rulesSocial contributions
Mandatory internships are largely exempt from social contributions. Voluntary internships are treated like regular employment once they run long enough, so contributions usually apply.
Check your insuranceInternational students
Non-EU students can work 140 full or 280 half days per year (raised from 120/240 in March 2024). A working student contract usually fits within this — confirm the exact limits printed on your residence permit.
