We're looking for a motivated Embedded Safety Tooling & CI/CD Intern (ideally 6 months, mandatory internship) to join our Safety Software team in Schönaich (close to Stuttgart), with a flexible start date. If you're interested in software quality, automation, and want to get hands-on inside a live IEC 61508 certification process — this is a rare opportunity to contribute to something that genuinely matters.
Embedded Safety Tooling & CI/CD Engineering Intern (m/f/d)
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
HERE'S WHERE YOU MAKE AN IMPACT
Extend CI/CD pipelines for our Positron SDK using GitHub Actions — building the automation infrastructure that makes a safety-critical development process reliable, repeatable, and audit-ready
Automate test report generation for TÜV evidence packages, turning raw test output into structured documentation that certification reviewers can actually work with
Integrate static analysis tools — clang-tidy, cppcheck, MISRA C linters — into the development workflow to catch issues early and support ongoing compliance
Implement code coverage measurement and visualisation, giving the team clear, actionable insight into where the test suite is strong and where gaps remain
WHO YOU ARE
Enrolled MSc student in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or Software Engineering — with a practical interest in how software quality is actually enforced, not just described in a process document
Strong Python skills, comfortable with bash scripting, CMake, and Git in a real development environment where things are moving fast
You've worked with CI/CD pipelines hands-on — GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar — and understand what makes a pipeline robust enough to trust
You can read embedded C and navigate MISRA C constraints without getting lost; writing it from scratch isn't required, but understanding it is
Genuinely interested in software quality and functional safety tooling — experience with static analysis tools is a bonus, curiosity about why they exist is the baseline
WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU
Flexible working hours when life takes unexpected turns
Company support for gym memberships through Wellpass
Birthday vouchers
Drinks and coffee (free of charge, of course)
Snacks and fruit for all employees, as well as breakfast every Monday
Regular global team-building events such as boot camps, skiing, and summer BBQs
An international team with long-term prospects
Highly competent colleagues who are experts in their field and happy to support you in your learning and growth
Modern office space
