Overview
Hive Robotics is building Europe's first full-stack orchestration platform for unmanned systems: connecting, controlling, and commanding multi-vendor drone and robot swarms. Our RF communication systems are Made in Germany, deployed on active frontlines, and targeting a highly valued tactical communication market with zero sovereign alternatives today. As a working student in electronics hardware engineering, you support our hardware team across the full development cycle: from requirements and schematic capture through component selection, simulation, and prototype bring-up. You work on real boards and modules for products already in serial production and in the field, not just internal test setups. This is a hands-on role at the boundary of design and validation, with room to take ownership of libraries, documentation, and testing as you grow into the team.

Role
Hive Robotics is building Europe's first full-stack orchestration platform for unmanned systems: connecting, controlling, and commanding multi-vendor drone and robot swarms. Our RF communication systems are Made in Germany, deployed on active frontlines, and targeting a highly valued tactical communication market with zero sovereign alternatives today. As a working student in electronics hardware engineering, you support our hardware team across the full development cycle: from requirements and schematic capture through component selection, simulation, and prototype bring-up. You work on real boards and modules for products already in serial production and in the field, not just internal test setups. This is a hands-on role at the boundary of design and validation, with room to take ownership of libraries, documentation, and testing as you grow into the team.
Key responsibilities
- Develop hardware designs from a set of requirements, from concept through schematic capture and implementation
- Create and review schematics for new boards and hardware modules
- Build and maintain component and part libraries, including footprints, symbols, and 3D models
- Research and select components, evaluating datasheets, availability, and cost/performance trade-offs
- Run simulations to validate circuit behavior, then support bring-up and testing of new prototypes and hardware revisions
- Document hardware designs, libraries, and test results so findings are traceable and reproducible
Qualifications And Requirements
Must Have
- Enrolled in a Bachelor's or Master's program in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field
- Solid understanding of analog and digital circuit design fundamentals
- Experience with schematic capture and PCB design tools (e.g., Cadence Allegro, Altium Designer, KiCad, or Eagle)
- Familiarity with reading datasheets and selecting components
- Good analytical and problem-solving skills
- Available 20 hours per week
- Fluent English
- Onsite with us in Munich
Nice to Have
- Experience with circuit simulation tools (e.g., LTspice, SPICE, PSpice)
- Hands-on experience with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, and power supplies
- Familiarity with communication protocols (I2C, SPI, UART, etc.)
- Experience with hardware bring-up, debugging, or prototyping
- Advanced/fluent German
