Working Student (m/f/d) — IIoT / RTLS Hardware & Deployment Support
Industrial RTLS, IIoT & AI Platform - Inpixon
Apply NowAbout the Role
Location: Eschborn (Frankfurt am Main area), Germany — on-site only, no remote / home-office option
Work Model: 15–20 hours per week, scheduled flexibly around your lecture timetable
Contract: Fixed term, initially 6 months, with the option to extend depending on project demand
Joining: Immediately
--
You will work directly alongside our Solution Architects and deployment engineers in our Eschborn office and lab, preparing and validating the hardware that goes into live industrial projects. This is a hands-on technical role, not a shadowing internship — the hardware you prepare will be installed in real customer facilities.
Inpixon works with some of the most demanding manufacturers in the world, including Siemens Energy. We are looking for a student who wants real project responsibility. In return, we offer a well-equipped hardware lab, working hours planned around your semester schedule, and direct mentoring from experienced engineers.
What You'll Do
- Support ongoing IIoT / RTLS projects across the deployment lifecycle, from lab preparation through to on-site commissioning support
- Work hands-on with UWB anchors (nodes), tags and industrial sensors: configuration, functional testing and fault isolation
- Flash firmware onto nodes and tags using our internal deployment tooling, and verify successful updates
- Prepare, label, package and document hardware kits for shipment to customer deployment sites
- Build and maintain an accurate inventory of hardware in stock — quantities, hardware revisions, firmware versions, serial numbers and allocation per project
- Assist the project team during deployment phases: pre-staging, site preparation, commissioning support and acceptance testing
- Document test results, configurations, and known issues so that findings are reusable by the wider team
What We're Looking For
Required Education, Experience, and Competencies
- Currently enrolled at a university or university of applied sciences, ideally in electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, mechatronics, industrial engineering or a comparable field
- Genuine interest in industrial IoT, wireless technologies and real-world deployments — and the willingness to take on complex IIoT / RTLS projects rather than routine tasks
- Comfortable with basic networking concepts (IP addressing, subnets, switches, DHCP) or eager to learn them quickly
- Confident using the command line (Windows and/or Linux); scripting experience (e.g. Python) is a plus
- Practical, careful and structured working style — hardware that leaves our lab has to be right the first time
- Reliable and organised: inventory accuracy and clear documentation matter as much as technical skill
- Based in or around Eschborn / Frankfurt, since the role requires regular on-site presence
- Good communication skills in English and/or German
Desired (But Not Required)
- Experience with basic electronics bench work, MQTT, Docker, RF or antenna basics, or previous working-student experience in a hardware or lab environment.
What You'll Get
-
Real responsibility on live industrial projects from day one, not simulated exercises
-
Direct mentoring from experienced engineers
-
Working hours planned around your semester schedule, including reduced load during exam periods
-
A well-equipped hardware lab and a small, pragmatic team where your input is heard
Benefits
-
Work directly with our Solution Architects and senior engineers from day one. No working student pool, no layers of hierarchy in between.
-
Our Eschborn office is easy to reach by public transport, and there's free parking right outside if you'd rather drive.
-
We get together for team events throughout the year, good chances to actually get to know the people you work with, not just your direct team.
