Recovery Engineer

ARIS is a student initiative based at ETH Zürich (Dübendorf) and inspires students across Switzerland
with opportunities to put into practice what you have been studying in theory by gaining hands-on
space engineering experience and contribute to space engineering challenges through academic and
industry collaborations.

From the technical side, this year ARIS goes into the 6th round of challenges. Following project
HELVETIA, ARIS will participate at the European Rocketry Challenge in Portugal with its own hybrid
rocket engine. ARIS also conducts events to support these activities, and has ongoing engagement with
sponsors, the public and professors.
From the business side we have grown a lot over the last year. We have been expanding our ARIS
business team, in the areas of marketing, finance and HR. Furthermore, and we have also started a
collaboration with University St. Gallen and their prestigious business unit.
To achieve the ambitious projects and continue our exciting growth, we require a motivated
