Working Student (m/f/d) Autonomous Vehicle Testing & Software Engineering

Most technologies promise the future. We're already building it. At MOTOR Ai , we've spent years doing what others said couldn't be done in Germany: developing Europe's first certifiable Level 4 autonomous driving system - one that doesn't just detect the world around it, but understands it. Rooted in cognitive neuroscience and driven by a team that bridges disciplines, we're not waiting for autonomous mobility to arrive. We're the reason it will.

Tasks

• Support the development, integration, and testing of software and automotive systems

• Participate in on-site testing and field assignments, including travel for 2–4 weeks at a time
• Document test results, analyze findings, and help improve our development and testing processes
• Work with modern development tools and AI-assisted workflows while collaborating closely with an experienced engineering team

Requirements

• You have some hands-on experience with software development or automotive systems through your studies, university projects, internships, or personal projects
• Technology is more than just your major - you enjoy building, experimenting, and learning new things, whether through side projects, open source, hackathons, or your own ideas
• You enjoy taking ownership, working independently, and finding practical solutions to challenges
• You have a valid driver's license (Category B driving licence) and are excited to join on-site testing trips lasting 2–4 weeks when needed
• Experience with Linux and ROS2 is a plus, but we're also happy if you're eager to learn
• You're curious about modern AI developer tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, or similar technologies, and enjoy using them to build better software
• Business-level English; German would be an advantage
