Your mission
Be part of aviation history at VÆRIDION, where we’re pioneering the world’s first electric nine-seater aircraft! As a Working Student Manufacturing Engineer (all genders) you will support the development, assembly, and industrialization of next‑generation battery modules for the VÆRIDION Microliner. You will contribute directly to hands‑on manufacturing, process optimization, and prototype build activities that enable safe, lightweight, and highly integrated aviation battery systems.
Your Day-to-Day
* Assist the team in the assembly of battery modules/packs and subcomponents, from cell testing up to final closure.
* Support manufacturing process development, such as defining assembly sequences, tooling concepts, and quality checks for repeatable production.
* Conduct manufacturability assessments for new designs, identifying risks, tolerance issues, and opportunities for simplification.
* Support with the creation and control of work instructions, assembly documentation, and quality inspection sheets for internal and external manufacturing partners.
* Support shop‑floor organization, including inventory management, fixture preparation, and maintaining a safe, clean working environment.
Your profile
* Currently studying mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, materials science, industrial engineering, electrical engineering or similar.
* Strong interest in battery technology, energy storage, or electric propulsion systems.
* Hands‑on experience with mechanical assembly, electronics assembly, or lab work is highly valued.
* Familiarity with CAD tools (CATIA, SolidWorks, NX) for design of simple fixtures, jigs, or creating assembly drawings.
* Structured, reliable, and proactive working style with strong attention to detail.
* Comfortable working as part of a team in a workshop environment with tools, adhesives, and prototype components.
* Working proficiency in English; German is a plus.
Why us?

About us
VÆRIDION is a fast-growing deep tech start-up based in Munich, Germany. Since the restrictions by law on CO2 emissions for domestic and short-haul air travel will stimulate Green Regional Air Mobility, we believe it's our mission to provide an aircraft for Zero emission regional flights.
At VÆRIDION our goal is to develop, build and certify a full electric microliner carrying up to 9 passengers for Short-Haul and Regional Air Mobility by 2030. A full electric microliner is cleaner and cheaper to operate than other aeroplanes in its class, it provides a better travel experience door to door up to 500 km. We offer new optimized design based on proven principles, around proven and available technology in electric motors and batteries, that brings lowest risk and shortest route to certification.
