WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We're looking for a motivated Functional Safety Intern (ideally 6 months, mandatory internship) to join our Safety Systems team in Schönaich (close to Stuttgart), with a flexible start date. You will own the tooling that keeps our safety evidence coherent — requirement files, our ALM system, test annotations and CI all need to agree with each other — and you will build it working alongside AI coding agents, every day. Roughly 60% of your time goes into safety tooling you own outright, 20% into supporting certification and assessment work, and 20% into requirements engineering. If that is your passion this is a uniquely impactful place to develop your skills.

HERE'S WHERE YOU MAKE AN IMPACT

Build and maintain the synchronisation between our requirement files and the ALM system

Write CI checks that enforce safety evidence rather than merely describe it — traceability from requirements to tests, and coverage figures that can be relied on

Maintain the automation around our review and release workflows, treating these as support tools under the standard, with the tool-qualification thinking that implies

Prepare responses to external assessor review protocols and track document versions issued to the assessor, so open points can be closed

Author and refine requirements across the product, system and unit tiers; maintain traceability and gap registers; keep requirements and architecture diagrams consistent with one another

WHO YOU ARE

Enrolled MSc student in Electrical Engineering, Software, Mechatronic or Robotics — with a strong interest in functional safety

Working knowledge of safety development lifecycles and workflows

Exposure to a functional safety standard (IEC 61508, ISO 13849, ISO 26262, or IEC 62061)

Familiarity with FMEA, diagnostic coverage, or failure-rate budgeting

Experience with ALM or requirements tools such as Polarion, codebeamer, Jama, or DOORS

Real experience working with AI coding agents (Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor or equivalent) — be ready to talk about what you built, where it was confidently wrong, and how you found out

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
