Your mission

At bliq.ai, we’re building the future of driverless mobility. We’re looking for a Working Student / Intern in Vehicle Prototyping & Assembly who enjoys turning ideas into real, testable hardware.

In this role, you’ll support the development of components and assemblies for our driverless vehicle platform. You’ll work closely with engineers and designers, helping build, assemble, finish, and test mechanical and electronic parts in a hands-on workshop environment. This is a great opportunity for someone who wants practical experience in prototyping, fabrication, and vehicle integration.

Your responsibilities may include:

  • Supporting the fabrication of components using FDM and SLA 3D printing and basic metalworking
  • Helping with surface finishing and post-processing, including sanding, painting, and coating
  • Assisting with the assembly of mechanical and electronic systems, including soldering, crimping, wiring, and cable routing
  • Supporting installation and testing of components on vehicle platforms
  • Helping source parts and coordinate with suppliers or external workshops
  • Working closely with engineers to improve designs and iterate on prototypes
  • Maintaining workshop tools, materials, and equipment
  • Contributing to fast, practical problem-solving in day-to-day development work

Your profile

You could be a great fit if you:

  • Are currently enrolled in a degree program such as mechanical engineering, automotive engineering, industrial design, mechatronics, electrical engineering, or a related field
  • Have first hands-on experience with prototyping, workshop assembly, or building technical projects
  • Are familiar with 3D printing and common workshop tools
  • Have basic experience with electronics work such as soldering, crimping and wiring
  • Enjoy building things with your hands and solving practical problems
  • Work carefully, independently, and with strong attention to detail
  • Are proactive, reliable, and eager to learn in a fast-paced environment
  • Interest in cars, vehicle systems, or custom builds is a strong plus

Why us?

  • Hands-on experience in a cutting-edge driverless vehicle project
  • Close collaboration with experienced engineers and leadership
  • Flexible working environment
  • International, dynamic, and highly motivated team
  • Opportunity to learn quickly and take on real responsibility from day one

Working student essentials

What this Engineering working student role in Berlin means for you — the weekly-hours rules, social-contribution perks, and what international students should check before applying.

Weekly hours

Working students may work up to 20 hours a week during the semester and full-time during the breaks. Staying within this keeps your student status and the Werkstudent benefits.

Working student rules

Social contributions

Under the Werkstudentenprivileg you're exempt from health, care and unemployment insurance contributions — only pension insurance applies. That leaves more net pay than a regular job.

Check your insurance

International students

Non-EU students can work 140 full or 280 half days per year (raised from 120/240 in March 2024). A working student contract usually fits within this — confirm the exact limits printed on your residence permit.
