Part-time (15–20 h/week) · Nuremberg, Germany
Real engineering work — not coffee runs.
About Us
We are a fast-growing, 30-person technology company headquartered in Nuremberg. We build fully automated robotic systems for solar cell and battery research — instruments that help scientists push the limits of renewable energy. Our equipment ships to research labs and companies across Europe, North America, and Asia.
We are a small team, which means working students here do real work from day one. You will be standing at a lab bench, running tests, writing scripts, and helping bring prototypes to life alongside our engineers.
What You'll Do
- Write Python scripts for test automation, data logging, and lab tooling
- Help set up and run communication test benches (CAN, Modbus, OPC/UA)
- Flash and test firmware on ARM-based microcontroller boards
- Support prototype assembly: wiring, component mounting, basic mechanical integration
- Research components, compare datasheets, and help prepare bills of materials
- Contribute to internal technical documentation and assembly guides
- Assist with bring-up and debugging of new automation sub-systems
What You Bring
- Currently enrolled in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Automation, or a closely related degree — ideally in your 5th or 6th semester (BSc) or in the final phase of your MSc
- Basic Python programming skills — you are comfortable writing scripts from scratch
- A hands-on mindset: you enjoy working with hardware, not just code
- Curiosity about embedded systems, electronics, and industrial automation
- Willingness to get stuck in and ask good questions
- Medium to good German skills
- Conversational English (our documentation and much of our internal communication is in English)
Nice to Have
- Basic electronics skills: reading schematics, using a multimeter or oscilloscope
- Exposure to industrial communication protocols (CAN, Modbus, or similar)
- Experience with version control (Git)
- Interest in renewable energy technology
What We Offer
- Hands-on work with real systems — you will see your contributions run in the lab
- Close mentoring by experienced automation engineers
- Flexible hours that fit around your lecture schedule; more hours available during semester breaks
- The opportunity to anchor a Bachelor's or Master's thesis in our technology
- A direct path to a full-time role for the right candidate after graduation
- A modern workplace in Nuremberg with a team that takes engineering seriously
