Working Student Hardware Engineering & Product Design (m/f/d)

About the roleModern conflict runs on the electromagnetic spectrum, and the systems that listen to it have to survive the real world. Datacept builds cognitive electronic warfare systems: passive wideband sensing, AI-driven signal analysis, deployed at ports, stadiums, critical infrastructure, and military sites. Our systems are already in use with customers. Now the hardware has to scale: produced repeatedly, refined, and trusted in the field. We are looking for a working student who can take it there: someone who designs the part in CAD and then makes it on the machine. Your roleYou are the hands of our hardware team. You take our existing hardware and develop it into the next generation: robust, manufacturable, well-designed. You work directly with the founders and the engineers, you make design decisions, and you build your own parts in our workshop instead of waiting for someone else to. What you will doDevelop our current hardware into a series-ready next generation: construction, assemblies, tolerances, materials Product design: enclosures, ergonomics, surfaces, mounting, and ease of assembly in the field Create CAD models, technical drawings, and bills of materials Build prototypes and samples yourself on our in-house CNC mill and 3D printers, plus assembly and functional tests Test hardware under real conditions, learn from failures, and iterate quickly Coordinate with suppliers and manufacturing partners on what works in series production How we workBuild, don't jus
