Working Student / Intern — Software Architecture & Project Coordination, Infotainment (all genders)

**Your Mission** ---------------- MBition is bringing the automotive industry into the future by building a new generation of infotainment platform that is reusable and hardware agnostic, as well as its implementation into our actual car lines. By implementing interfaces that future drivers will engage with — from sitting in their cars, planning their journey, to choosing their favourite music and many more. We are looking for a technically strong and highly organised student to sit at the intersection of architecture, delivery, and tooling — helping the team build the right things in the right order. **Sneak preview of your future tasks** -------------------------------------- * Document architectural decisions and maintain technical reference material that the entire team relies on. * Track delivery progress across sprints — what has shipped, what is in progress, what is blocked — and make that status visible and actionable. * Support CI/CD pipeline health — monitor builds, investigate systemic failures, coordinate fixes with developers. * Automate project workflows using Python, GitLab APIs, and workflow automation tools (e.g. n8n, custom scripts). * Prepare technical summaries, migration trackers, and status updates for cross-team alignment meetings. * Coordinate across multiple teams, repositories, and platform layers to keep the big picture clear. * Identify process bottlenecks, propose improvements, and implement them — not just flag them. * Contribute to specification documents and interface contracts alongside senior architects. **Your Profile** ---------------- You are a motivated student enrolled in Computer Science, Systems Engineering, Technical Project Management, or a comparable field, and you bring: * **Technical literacy** — You can read code in C++, Java, and Python. You don’t need to be an expert developer, but you understand software well enough to document architecture, review pipeline configs, and write automation scripts. * **Understanding of the software development lifecycle** — You know Agile/Scrum, version control (Git), branching strategies, CI/CD concepts, and how software moves from backlog to production. * **Strong communication** — You can explain a technical decision clearly in writing and verbally, to both engineers and stakeholders. English is essential; German is a plus. * **Structured and organised** — You can track many moving parts across teams, repositories, and timelines without losing details. * **Python proficiency** — You can write scripts for automation, data extraction, report generation, and API integrations. * **AI as a productivity tool** — You use AI-assisted tools for documentation, summarisation, analysis, and workflow automation, and you understand when to trust and when to verify their output. * **Proactive and curious** — You take initiative, spot gaps before being asked, and drive things to completion. **Preferred Skills and Experience:** * Experience as a tutor, teaching assistant, or student project lead — any role where you had to coordinate work across people with different skills and timelines. * A university or personal project where you set up a full development workflow from scratch: repository structure, CI pipeline, documentation, release process. * Familiarity with project management or documentation tools — Confluence, Jira, Notion, GitLab issue boards, or similar. * Experience with workflow automation platforms (n8n, Zapier, GitHub Actions, custom bots) — building automated processes, not just using them. * Writing experience: technical blog posts, architecture docs, wiki pages, or well-structured README files that other people actually used. * Exposure to systems engineering or systems thinking — understanding how components interact across boundaries, not just within a single service. * A thesis, internship, or coursework involving requirements engineering, software architecture, or process improvement. * Familiarity with API scripting (REST, GraphQL) for pulling data from tools like GitLab, Jira, or Confluence to build dashboards or reports. **Why us?** ----------- * Great company values that we are passionate about and live by every day at work. * A chance to work on a new generation of Infotainment Systems which will power millions of Mercedes-Benz vehicles. * An international, interdisciplinary innovation hub which is part of Mercedes-Benz AG. * A rare opportunity to see how architecture and delivery work in a multi-platform, safety-relevant production environment. * Agile working methods and open feedback culture. * A brand-new, modern, and fully accessible office. **Interested?** --------------- We look forward to receiving your complete application, including CV (in English or German) and a cover letter with the following information: * Job title and reference number * Salary expectations * Earliest start date We would like to encourage people with health impairments to apply to our jobs!
