About this role
As Working Student – Scaled Model Structures, you support the design and build of our scaled demonstrator aircraft at ERC System. These models support verification and identification tasks in conceptual and preliminary design, are used to research future aircraft configurations, and verify flight controller capabilities.
You work closely with experienced engineers and gain hands-on insight into airframe design, composite fabrication, and structural assembly in the workshop.
Moreover, it would be helpful if you also

WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Support the design of fuselage, wings, and empennage
- Build the airframe through composite fabrication, mechanical assembly, and preparation for system installation
- Track weight and support strength verification and structural testing
- Prepare and take part in ground and flight tests
- Analyse test data and feed the findings into the next build
- Help improve concepts, tools, and methods in the workshop and test environment
WHAT YOU BRING
- Enrolment in a bachelor's or master's program in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related field
- Basic understanding of aircraft structures and strength, and experience with CAD, ideally Siemens NX
- Experience with composite fabrication, workshop practices, and mechanical assembly
- Hands-on experience with UAVs or model aircraft
- Strong motivation to work with hardware and get it ready to fly
- A structured and reliable way of working, independently and in a team, with strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- Fluent English, with German knowledge as a plus
Moreover, it would be helpful if you also
