The Mission

Munich-based OroraTech is deploying a constellation of nano-satellites with thermal infrared cameras for automated wildfire detection, severe weather warnings, surface temperature monitoring and many other applications.

During our ramp up from small to medium batch sizes on satellite platform production with hundreds of in-house developed PCBs to be processed, automation of electronics tests is key to scale efficiently while maintaining our high quality standards for all flight assets.

To support upcoming projects, we are looking for talented technicians or engineering students to support the setup, execution, and debugging of electronics tests within our agile testing framework. They will be joining a highly motivated, multidisciplinary team of experts in the fields of mechanical, optics, electronics, spacecraft, and software engineering.

  • Support production engineers in setting up and maintaining test infrastructure.
  • Help ensure reliable and fully traceable automatic test procedures are followed.

Working student essentials

What this Engineering working student role in Munich means for you — the weekly-hours rules, social-contribution perks, and what international students should check before applying.

Weekly hours

Working students may work up to 20 hours a week during the semester and full-time during the breaks. Staying within this keeps your student status and the Werkstudent benefits.

Working student rules

Social contributions

Under the Werkstudentenprivileg you're exempt from health, care and unemployment insurance contributions — only pension insurance applies. That leaves more net pay than a regular job.

Check your insurance

International 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.
