Working Student

Nuventura is a Berlin-based climate-tech company developing a new generation of medium-voltage switchgear that is both highly innovative and environmentally sustainable. Our patented gas-insulated switchgear replaces SF₆ — one of the world’s most harmful greenhouse gases — with clean, dry air while maintaining the same reliability and performance as traditional systems. Our product portfolio is expanding rapidly through new development projects, industrial partnerships, and global scaling. As an interdisciplinary and engineering-driven company, we are committed to accelerating the transition toward sustainable electrical infrastructure and enabling utilities and manufacturers worldwide to adopt SF₆-free technology. To support this growth, we are looking for a Working Student (f/m/x) Engineering to join our development teams. As a Working Student (f/m/x) Engineering, you will actively support the development of our next-generation prototype nu2. This role gives you the chance to apply your early engineering skills in a highly practical environment and directly contribute to a key R&D milestone. Tasks Support the assembly of prototype components Assist in building the new R&D prototype nu2 by assembling sub-assemblies and mechanical parts under guidance from experienced engineers. Help document the assembly process Contribute to creating clear and simple work instructions based on the steps you carry out, helping ensure processes can be repeated reliably. Prepare mechanical drawings (incl. basic GD&T) Create or update mechanical detailed drawings with support from the engineering team, applying your initial knowledge of GD&T. Record issues during assembly Note down challenges or questions that arise during assembly work and share them with the team for troubleshooting and improvement.Provide improvement suggestions Bring in your observations and fresh perspective to suggest small, practical improvements for better assembly workflows or design usability. Requirements You are currently enrolled as a student in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related technical field and are eager to apply your coursework in real projects. You use your initial design experience to create or adapt technical drawings and approach design tasks with accuracy and structured thinking. You feel comfortable working hands-on with mechanical assemblies and enjoy learning through practical build activities. You communicate clearly in English, and you are able to understand or communicate technical information in German. You actively seek guidance when needed and approach new tasks with curiosity and a willingness to learn. You share issues or observations openly and collaborate with engineers to improve assembly workflows or design aspects. Benefits You will be part of an innovative group of high-performance and experienced people from diverse backgrounds. We are committed to your growth and will challenge you directly to become the best professional version of yourself. We believe in a culture of trusted ownership, caring meritocracy, and constructive feedback where we elevate each other and challenge the status quo. A sustainable, down-to-earth, and passionate company. Free snacks, drinks and fruit basket every day. Exciting and regular team events, including a Christmas party, summer celebrations with a budget for departmental events. We are looking forward to your application Please send your resume. Nuventura is an equal-opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.Nuventura develops environmentally-friendly medium voltage (MV) gas insulated switchgear (GIS) – key hardware components found throughout electrical grids and energy infrastructure. Our patented technology replaces Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) – the world’s strongest greenhouse gas – with dry air, whilst maintaining GIS' traditional strengths i.e. compact physical dimensions. Such alternatives are urgently needed because, in the coming years, regulators are expected to phase out SF6’s use in switchgear due to its high environmental impact. Nuventura works with both switchgear end-users (utilities, EPCs, industry, project developers etc.) and manufacturers (OEMs, panel builders) with the aim of accelerating and facilitating the energy industry’s transition away from SF6. In so doing, nuventura helps companies reduce their carbon footprint and become compliant with imminent international regulation focused on the use of SF6 in switchgear.
