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
