About this role
We are looking for a highly motivated Working Student to support our development activities in the field of AI-driven robotics, industrial automation, and equipment integration. In this role, you will work on innovative solutions combining humanoid robotics, Vision-Language-Action models, computer vision, middleware, and industrial communication interfaces to connect machines, robots, process control systems, and dashboards. You will be part of a technical team working at the interface between software development, automation technology, robotics, and data-driven manufacturing systems. Key Responsibilities: Develop and test middleware solutions for connecting production equipment, robotics platforms, process control systems, and dashboards. Create communication interfaces between software applications and industrial systems using technologies such as OPC UA, REST APIs, MQTT, PLC interfaces, and Siemens automation systems. Support the networking and integration of injection molding machines with process control systems, dashboards, and data platforms. Create solutions to connect legacy equipment to middleware solutions by using available legacy protocols (e. g. serial communication) Support the development and implementation of motion sequences and control logic for humanoid robotic systems and industrial manipulators. Assist in the integration, optimization, and testing of AI models, including LLMs, Vision-Language-Action models, and computer vision pipelines for robotic applications. Contribute to prototyping, testing, troubleshooting, and documentation of AI-driven automation and equipment integration solutions. Process, analyze, and visualize machine and process data to support monitoring, dashboards, and decision-making. Your Profile: Currently enrolled in a Bachelor’s or Master’s program in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Automation Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Mechatronics, or a comparable technical field. Strong programming skills in at least one or more of the following: Python, C#, C++, JavaScript, or TypeScript. Basic knowledge or practical experience in robotics, motion control, robot programming, or ROS/ROS2 is an advantage. Familiarity with industrial communication and interface technologies such as OPC UA, MQTT, REST APIs, PLC communication, or Siemens TIA Portal. Interest in AI-based automation, computer vision, machine connectivity, middleware design, and industrial system integration. Basic understanding of data processing, dashboarding, and visualization of machine or process data. Structured and solution-oriented working style with strong analytical problem-solving skills. Reliable, proactive, and able to work effectively in interdisciplinary teams. Good communication skills in English; German language skills are an advantage. What You Bring: You are curious about the combination of AI, robotics, and industrial automation and enjoy working hands-on with real systems. You like solving technical challenges, testing new concepts, and contributing to practical solutions that connect machines, robots, data, and intelligent software systems in a modern manufacturing environment B.
