Working Student (m/f/d) Autonomous Vehicle Testing & Software Engineering

Most technologies promise the future. We're already building it. At MOTOR Ai, we've spent years doing what others said couldn't be done in Germany: developing Europe's first certifiable Level 4 autonomous driving system - one that doesn't just detect the world around it, but understands it. Rooted in cognitive neuroscience and driven by a team that bridges disciplines, we're not waiting for autonomous mobility to arrive. We're the reason it will.

• You enjoy taking ownership, working independently, and finding practical solutions to challenges


• You have a valid driver's license and are excited to join on-site testing trips lasting 2–4 weeks when needed


• Experience with Linux and ROS2 is a plus, but we're also happy if you're eager to learn


• You're curious about modern AI developer tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, or similar technologies, and enjoy using them to build better software


• Business-level English; German would be an advantage
