Working Student (f/m/d) Python & AI Automation Engineer (Quality Engineering)

**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 **Technical Skills** * Initial hands-on experience in Python development (mandatory exposure) * First experience in automation or test automation (academic projects, internships, or personal projects) * Basic understanding of: * Software development practices (version control, debugging) * APIs and data formats (JSON, XML) * Automation workflows or scripting **Interest Areas** * Strong interest in: * AI-assisted software testing and GenAI applications * Test automation frameworks and quality engineering * Process automation and scalable validation approaches **Mindset \& Capabilities** * Strong analytical and problem-solving skills * Ability to break down complex problems into structured solutions * Eagerness to learn modern tools (Python frameworks, AI tools, automation pipelines) * Structured, reliable, and self-driven working style * Good communication skills in English **Nice to Have** * Exposure to: * Python testing frameworks (e.g., Pytest, unittest) * CI/CD tools (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins) * AI/LLM tools or prompt engineering concepts * Basic familiarity with: * Linux environments or Docker * Software quality concepts or testing processes **What You Will Learn** * How to build scalable Python automation frameworks for real-world engineering systems * Practical application of AI/LLM techniques in software quality assurance * Integration of automation into development workflows and CI/CD pipelines * Hands-on experience in debugging multi-layer issues (code, tooling, infrastructure) * Exposure to industrial software quality processes and best practices **What NXP Offers** * An attractive hourly wage of €18\.90 * 30 vacation days per year * Flexible working hours * The possibility to work in a hybrid setup * Access to an on-site cafeteria * Networking initiatives and Employee Resource Groups such as Young Community, No Extra Planet, NXP Equal, Women in NXP, and more — fostering both professional and personal exchange **Please Note** The successful candidate may/will be responsible for security related tasks. The assignment may/will be in scope of security certifications, therefore a conscious and reliable way of working is necessary. More information about NXP in Germany...
