Job summary

Quantum-Systems GmbH in Bavaria invites a Working Student in Automated Testing to help build a hardware-in-the-loop test environment for our Droneport. You will blend Python development with hands-on work on real drone hardware and a dedicated test rig, taking ownership of a project from design to repeatable automated tests over about one year.

Working with the Droneport team, you will identify faults earlier, improve system reliability, and have room to propose solutions while gaining practical

Qualifications

• You are studying electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, mechatronics, robotics, computer science or a related field with solid programming experience.
• You have good Python skills and enjoy applying software to physical systems.
• You are familiar with Linux and Git and understand the basics of CI/CD.
• You are interested in mechatronic systems, sensors and communication between hardware and software.
• You enjoy practical work: assembling, wiring, testing and troubleshooting hardware are part of the role.
• Ideally, you have controlled hardware using Arduino, Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA Jetson or similar platforms.
• You work independently and systematically, take initiative and communicate findings clearly.
• You are comfortable communicating in English and interested in contributing for approximately one year.

Responsibilities

• Design and build a HIL test setup with a real Droneport inside a protective cage, reproducing controlled movement.
• Connect and control hardware, sensors and interfaces using Python.
• Develop automated test cases for stationary and moving-drone scenarios with repeatable sequences and pass/fail criteria.
• Capture logs and measurements, investigate failures and document test results.
• Explore extensions such as wind or rain simulation where feasible and integrate tests into CI/CD workflows.

Job description

About the role:

As a Working Student in Automated Testing, you will help develop a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test

environment for our Droneport at Quantum-Systems. You will combine Python development with hands-on work

on a real Droneport, drone hardware and a dedicated test rig.

Over approximately one year, you will take ownership of a project from test-rig design and setup to repeatable

automated tests. Working closely with the Droneport development team, you will help identify faults earlier and

improve system reliability. The project offers room to explore solutions, make technical proposals and work

independently with support from the team.

What is your Day to Day Mission:

• Design and build a HIL test setup with a real Droneport inside a protective cage, using a rail-guided or

  suspended drone to reproduce controlled movement.

• Connect and control hardware, sensors and interfaces using Python.

• Develop automated test cases for stationary and moving-drone scenarios, including repeatable test sequences

  and clear pass/fail criteria.

• Capture logs and measurements, investigate failures and document test results.

• Explore extensions such as controlled wind or rain simulation where feasible.

• Help integrate automated tests into the development workflow and CI/CD where practical.

What you bring to the team:

• You are studying electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, mechatronics, robotics, computer science or

a related field, with solid programming experience.

• You have good Python skills and enjoy applying software to physical systems.

• You are familiar with Linux and Git and understand the basics of CI/CD.

• You are interested in mechatronic systems, sensors and communication between hardware and software.

• You enjoy practical work: assembling, wiring, testing and troubleshooting hardware are part of the role.

• Ideally, you have controlled hardware using Arduino, Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA Jetson or similar platforms.

• You work independently and systematically, take initiative and communicate findings clearly.

• You are comfortable communicating in English and interested in contributing for approximately one year.
