Jobbeschreibung

Join Axon and be a Force for Good.

At Axon, we’re on a mission to Protect Life. We’re explorers, pursuing society’s most critical safety and justice issues with our ecosystem of devices and cloud software. Like our products, we work better together. We connect with candor and care, seeking out diverse perspectives from our customers, communities and each other.
Life at Axon is fast-paced, challenging and meaningful. Here, you’ll take ownership and drive real change. Constantly grow as you work hard for a mission that matters at a company where you matter.

Your Impact

This is a hands-on opportunity to apply what you're learning about signal processing to a real product that keeps people and critical infrastructure safe. As a Working Student on our RF Engineering team in Kassel, you'll work alongside experienced DSP engineers — prototyping algorithms, analyzing real RF captures, and building the tooling that helps us detect and classify drones in the wild. You'll grow your practical DSP and software skills on real-world data, with mentorship and room to take ownership of meaningful pieces of work.

What You'll Do

Location: Onsite at our Kassel, Germany office, with flexible hours around your studies
Reports to: Team Lead

• Help prototype, implement, and test DSP algorithms in Python and C++.
• Analyze recorded RF / I/Q captures and help characterize drone and controller signals.
• Build and improve scripts and tooling for signal analysis, data handling, and visualization.
• Run experiments and document results to support detection and classification work.

What You Bring

• Currently enrolled in a Bachelor's or Master's program in Electrical Engineering, Communications Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Coursework or project experience in DSP fundamentals (e.g., sampling, filtering, FFT/spectral analysis, modulation).
• Programming experience in Python and/or C++.
• Genuine curiosity about RF / wireless and signal processing, and an eagerness to learn on real data.
• Good communication skills in English; German is a plus.

Don’t meet every single requirement? That's ok. At Axon, we Aim Far. We think big with a long‑term view because we want to reinvent the world to be a safer, better place. We are also committed to building diverse teams that reflect the communities we serve.

Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they check every box in the job description. If you’re excited about this role and our mission to Protect Life but your experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification listed here, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
