Mechatronics engineer - student

Salary Competitive

"I'm helping building the wind turbines of the future by designing, and prototyping the mechatronics thet's needed to make ultra light flying wings that can harvest wind energy efficiently."


KiteX is one of about 10 startups worldwide that's building and advancing the state of Airborne Wind Energy. Airborne Wind Energy systems replaces the static structure of conventional wind turbines with a tether and an advanced onboard control system achieving much more efficient material usage and reduced cost. 

We are currently designing and building a 20 kW dual wing demonstrator and need your help design and build this prototype faster.  You will be working with 

  • Design and building airframes, ground station and subcomponents
  • Design and assembly of electronics
  • Flight test ect.

We expect that you have experience working with:

  • Rapid prototyping
  • Programming of Arduino or other processors.
  • Light electronics skills. 

and are currently studying a master degree in a relevant field. 

We offer:

  • An opportunity to work with extremely talented people within the field of aerospace engineering (Software, Electronics & Mechanics).
  • Work on a project that can actually have real world positive impact. 
  • A flexible work place
  • Work place located at DTU

Working at
KiteX

At KiteX, we're revolutionising energy with innovative wind turbines inspired by kites. Our mission? To make wind turbines that use significantly less material, offering a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to traditional turbines. Our journey began by envisioning wind turbines that combine the efficiency of kites and autonomy of drones. On this path we found an hybrid design with guy wire supported tower and blades could achieve almost the same material savings, but without any of the disadvantages. Our unique approach centres on patience, refining technology step by step, and focusing on sustainable solutions. We're scaling up production of the groundbreaking Wind Catcher, a portable off-grid turbine, while designing a larger, grid-connected successor. As we grow, we're seeking exceptional team members in marketing, customer support, technical, and electrical engineering. KiteX isn't just a workplace; it's an opportunity to drive clean energy and make history. Join us in shaping a sustainable future. Contact us through the hub or at info@kitex.tech to be part of something extraordinary.
