Description provided by IAV GmbH
The digitalization and connectivity of vehicles are continuing to advance. Online services around the vehicle are becoming increasingly diverse – and with this diversity, the effort required to validate them is also growing. During testing, new software variants need to be checked regularly. Repetitive tasks can be efficiently supported by software tools.
We are currently developing a trace analysis tool that is intended to be used across different vehicle platforms. The tool should be able to capture and automatically analyze both offline trace data and live trace data in the vehicle. Development progress will be tested at test racks and in the vehicle.
Based on this idea, we are looking for you to complete your thesis in the field of software development. If this sounds interesting to you, now it’s your turn!
Your Tasks
- You familiarize yourself with the existing high-level concepts and refine them further
- You gather the requirements of the individual stakeholders
- You develop the trace analysis tool or another tool in Python
- You test the developed interim results at test racks and in vehicles
- You coordinate regularly with the stakeholders
- You are currently studying computer science or a comparable field
- You have good programming skills in Python
- You have good written and spoken German and English skills at a minimum B2 level
- You work independently and in a structured manner
- You enjoy collaborating in an agile environment

Working student essentials
What this Tech working student role in Gifhorn means for you: the weekly-hours rules, the 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 rulesSocial 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 insuranceInternational 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.
