Working Student in Software Testing

As a Working Student in Test Farm & Test Bench Operations , you will support the setup, maintenance, and continuous improvement of automotive test environments. You will work alongside experienced engineers and gain hands-on experience with hardware, software, automation, and troubleshooting activities used in automotive validation projects. In our Working Student program you will learn: How automotive test benches are designed, configured, and operated. How Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) and bench-based validation environments work. How to install, configure, and maintain test bench hardware and supporting infrastructure. How to diagnose and resolve hardware, software, communication, and connectivity issues on test benches. How to use automation and scripting to improve operational efficiency and reduce manual effort. How to monitor test bench health and perform preventive maintenance activities. How to configure and validate communication interfaces, network connections, and diagnostic tools. How to support engineers during testing activities and investigate bench-related failures. How to manage laboratory equipment, hardware assets, and technical documentation. How to analyze logs, measurements, and system behavior to identify root causes of issues. Technology Stack: Python scripting and automation Windows operating systems Git and version control systems Ethernet, CAN, CAN FD, LIN and automotive communication protocols Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) systems Test bench infrastructure and laboratory equipment Electronic control units (ECUs) Network configuration and troubleshooting Debugging and diagnostic tools Measurement equipment (oscilloscopes, power supplies, multimeters, debuggers) Serial communication interfaces (COM/UART, USB) Main Responsibilities: Support the creation, setup, and commissioning of new test benches. Perform maintenance and health checks on existing test environments. Troubleshoot hardware, software, network, and communication-related issues. Develop and maintain Python scripts for automation and monitoring tasks. Validate hardware connectivity and device availability. Support configuration management and documentation updates.
