Hi.
The right preposition is on in that context.
At is used before places.
Ex. I work at university/office
Ex. I work on the project/ assignment
Cheers

Hello.
People often think that "work on" and "work at" are phrasal verbs. They're not.
Hrsanei is correct.
"Working on" means to work towards the completion of something, and "working at" implies physical location of where work is being carried out.
Hope this helps.
