The Role
As a Working Student in Engineering Support, you help our Engineering team prepare and configure YouTrain’s products for deployment to customers. You install software on our hardware, prepare devices for use in training environments, and support the team with day-to-day technical tasks. Our products combine gaming technology, simulation and XR to create realistic training experiences – and you help make sure they are ready to use.
You don’t need an advanced technical background or programming experience. What matters most is that you understand the basics of hardware and software, pick up new things quickly, and enjoy getting hands-on with technology. Our team will show you everything you need to know. You work closely with Engineering colleagues at our office in Hamburg-Hammerbrook, where you can learn how our products work and contribute directly to getting them into the hands of our customers.

- Install and configure software on our hardware and make sure devices are ready for use.
- Prepare and set up devices for customer deployments, including products such as ShootAR.
- Support the Engineering team with day-to-day technical tasks and practical problem-solving.
- Help test and check devices to ensure everything works as expected before deployment.
- Assist with organising, maintaining and preparing hardware and equipment.
- Learn how our products work and become a reliable go-to person for practical technical support.
