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

Schedule: full-or-part-time Employment: intern Years of experience: lt-1 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?
