Your role in the team

  • As a working student in Software Engineering, you support the annotation and quality assurance of training data as well as the structured management of our datasets.
  • You also contribute to the definition and evaluation of KPIs for assessing our models and assist in conducting end-to-end tests of the entire system pipeline.
  • In addition, you research new approaches in the field of computer vision and compare them with existing solutions.
  • Furthermore, you help to further develop our testing infrastructure and evaluation pipelines to ensure continuous quality assurance.
  • Data Annotation & Dataset Management - Annotate and quality-check training data for object detection and end-to-end planner models, including bounding boxes, segmentation masks, and trajectory labels; maintain and version datasets to ensure consistency and traceability across model iterations.
  • KPI Definition & Model Evaluation - Design, implement, and continuously improve KPIs to monitor and benchmark the performance of ML models deployed on UAVs and UGVs, covering metrics such as detection accuracy, latency, precision/recall, and robustness under real-world conditions.
  • End-to-End System Testing - Execute and automate end-to-end integration tests of the full perception and planning pipeline on target hardware (Nvidia Jetson), identifying bottlenecks and regressions across the entire system stack.
  • Research & Model Benchmarking - Independently investigate state-of-the-art publications and open-source models in computer vision, object detection, and autonomous systems; systematically compare novel approaches against our current solutions and document findings in a structured way.
  • Tooling & Test Infrastructure - Contribute to the development of testing scripts, evaluation pipelines, and CI-friendly unit tests to ensure continuous quality assurance of deployed ML components.

Our expectations of you

Education

  • Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Robotics, or a related technical field.

Qualifications

  • Self-driven with the ability to manage your own tasks, prioritize effectively, and deliver results with minimal supervision in a fast-paced engineering environment.
  • Strong ability to clearly communicate findings, test results, and research insights to both technical teammates and stakeholders; comfortable writing concise technical documentation and benchmark reports.
  • Genuine enthusiasm for following the latest developments in autonomous systems, robotics perception, and ML - and the drive to bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and real-world deployment on robotic platforms.

Experience

  • Solid hands-on experience in Python (NumPy, PyTorch/TensorFlow, OpenCV) and working knowledge of C++ for performance-critical or embedded applications.
  • Familiarity with Nvidia Jetson platforms (e.g., Jetson Orin/Xavier), including experience with deployment workflows such as TensorRT, CUDA optimization, or similar edge inference toolchains.
  • Practical experience with ML fundamentals and CV tasks such as object detection, image classification, or semantic segmentation; exposure to model training, fine-tuning, and evaluation workflows.
  • Ability to translate high-level system requirements into measurable KPIs and structured unit or integration tests; experience with testing frameworks (e.g., pytest, Google Test) is a plus.

What we offer

  • Flexible working hours: With trust-based working hours, you are not only responsible for your working hours, but also for your work-life balance.
  • Mobile working: If it gets too turbulent for you in our office, you can get the necessary balance through mobile working.
