About the Role
Join a forward-looking Software Quality and Automation team that is driving AI-assisted automation of engineering processes and software quality checks.
As a Working Student, you will actively contribute to building Python-based automation solutions, AI-driven validation workflows, and scalable quality frameworks that reduce manual effort and improve engineering efficiency. You will work closely with experienced engineers to apply modern techniques such as LLM-based validation, automation pipelines, and structured quality analysis in a real industrial environment.

Your Responsibilities
- Design and implement Python-based automation scripts for software quality checks and data processing
- Contribute to test automation and validation frameworks (e.g., static checks, completeness checks, rule-based validation)
- Support development of AI-assisted quality analysis workflows (e.g., LLM-based validation, structured prompt outputs)
- Build and maintain automation pipelines and workflows (e.g., using tools like n8n, scripts, or APIs)
- Develop parsers and data extraction utilities for engineering artifacts (reports, logs, configurations)
- Define and maintain automation rules and configurations (e.g., JSON, YAML)
- Support integration of automation into existing development and CI/CD environments
- Assist in debugging automation issues (scripts, pipelines, environment setup)
- Contribute to automation dashboards, reports, and quality metrics
- Document solutions and share learnings with the team

Your Profile
Education
- Currently enrolled in a Master’s program in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Science, AI, or similar
