As part of the business team, you will tackle the challenge of enhancing our competition systems,

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 areas of marketing, finance and HR, and started collaborations with new academic
partners for that purpose. The goal of the business teams is to provide the best possible framework for
all the engineering projects and constantly develop the processes to address an ongoing growth.
