Mandatory Internship: Software Development for Test Automation and Test Infrastructure (Waldkirch (near Freiburg), Waldkirch (near Freiburg), Waldkirch (near Freiburg), Waldkirch )

Summer Semester 2027 – fixed term of 3–6 months

The internship is based in the development department responsible for SICK’s safe 2D and 3D sensors. You will join the “Verification & Validation” team, focusing on test infrastructure and test automation.

You will work on developing and enhancing the technical infrastructure used to run automated verification and validation tests based on CI/CD pipelines.

During the internship, you will independently work on a specific project to further develop our test infrastructure.

YOUR TASKS:

• You develop and extend software components for our automated test infrastructure.
• You design and implement solutions to automate and orchestrate test workflows.
• You integrate automated tests into Git-based CI/CD pipelines and improve existing workflows.
• You develop concepts and software components for device-under-test (DUT) management, for example to automatically manage, identify and integrate different sensors and test devices.
• You design test workflows to make them reproducible, scalable and efficient.
• You analyze existing processes and technical solutions and use your findings to develop new approaches to automation.
• You document the software components, interfaces and technical concepts you develop.

YOUR PROFILE:

• Studies in computer science, technical computer science, software engineering or a comparable field
• Good programming skills, ideally in Python
• Initial experience with Git and an interest in CI/CD, test automation and modern software development processes
• Knowledge of Docker, Artifactory, REST APIs, network communication or test automation frameworks is an advantage
• Enjoyment of combining software development with real-world technical systems and devices
• Good written and spoken English skills
• Structured, solution-oriented and independent approach to work, combined with a strong quality mindset
• Creativity and an innovative mindset when developing new technical solutions
