Intern - Automated Testing (Full-Time, 12 Months) (m/f/d)

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.
