## Description (the employer's text)

### WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We're looking for a motivated Computer Vision Intern (ideally 6 months, mandatory internship) to join our Safety Systems team in Schönaich (close to Stuttgart), with a flexible start date. If you're passionate about real-time 3D perception and want to contribute to safety-critical systems that keep people safe around humanoid robots — this is a uniquely impactful place to develop your skills.

### HERE'S WHERE YOU MAKE AN IMPACT

Implement and benchmark 3D person detection algorithms that fuse depth, RGB, and point cloud data — the core perception layer for knowing where humans are relative to the robot at all times

Build and integrate Safe Human Detection (SHD) prototype pipeline, turning raw sensor data into actionable, safety-relevant information

Develop test harnesses and validating that the safety interface behaves correctly under all defined conditions

Run benchmarking and data collection to generate the kind of reproducible, documented evidence that a real certification process requires

### WHO YOU ARE

Enrolled MSc student in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or Robotics — with a strong interest in applied perception and real-world systems

Strong Python skills and working knowledge of C++, with the ability to move between rapid prototyping and more structured, maintainable implementation

Experience with computer vision and 3D depth sensing — RealSense, Azure Kinect, or similar — and a genuine understanding of what the data actually represents

Familiar with point cloud processing tools like PCL or Open3D

Basic knowledge of the ROS2 perception stack; interest in safety-critical systems and functional safety context is a plus

### 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
