Wiring System Intern (AeroMini Testplatform)

Dufour Aerospace is pioneering drones for critical missions. Based in Switzerland, Dufour develops and manufactures efficient and sustainable aircraft for cargo transportation, logistics, and public safety.

We are looking for a motivated and hands-on individual to join us in streamlining our hardware development process. You will play a key role in the AeroMini platform - our agile, small-scale R&D platform used to validate technologies for our large-scale Aero-200 aircraft.

Your primary mission will be to lead the onboarding and implementation of a new innovative wiring tool for the AeroMini platform. This is a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between digital design and physical hardware, ensuring our R&D platforms are built with precision and efficiency.

Tasks:

• Tool Onboarding: Take ownership of introducing and integrating a new digital wiring tool into our AeroMini workflow.
• System Mapping: Help define and document electrical architectures for our small-scale flight test platforms.
• Hands-on Interaction: Support wiring and harness assembly, as well as on-aircraft debugging tasks on a regular basis.
• Stakeholder Communication: Coordinate closely with engineers and technicians to ensure the tool meets the needs of the wider team.
• Optimization: Identify bottlenecks and propose pragmatic, efficient solutions.

Requirements

• Background: Currently pursuing or recently completed studies in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics, or a related technical field.
  Note: A Bachelor’s degree is not strictly required if you have significant relevant practical experience.
• Logical Thinking: Ability to grasp complex new concepts quickly and a strong drive for pragmatic problem-solving.
• Hands-on Mentality: You enjoy getting your hands dirty and moving from the screen to the workbench.
• Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills; ability to convey technical information concisely.
• Technical Skills: Basic knowledge of electrical systems and wiring principles.
• Experience with a multimeter and basic harness/crimping tasks is a significant advantage.
• Availability: Starting as soon as possible for a minimum duration of 4 months.
• Location: We are only considering candidates currently residing in Switzerland with a valid work permit.

What We Offer

• The chance to work at the forefront of the advanced air mobility (AAM) industry.
• A high degree of independence and the opportunity to leave a lasting mark on our R&D processes.
• A dynamic, international environment with a "get things done" culture.
• Flexible working models (Part-time minimum 60% or Full-time).
