Your mission
As a working student in our IT team, you support the day-to-day operation of our IT infrastructure and actively contribute to projects. You are the first point of contact for our colleagues when it comes to technical questions, and you make sure that workplaces and devices run reliably. Along the way, you'll get to know a modern, fully cloud-based Microsoft 365 environment from the ground up.
Your Impact
- 1st Level Support / Helpdesk: You are the first contact for IT requests and incidents – you log tickets, resolve issues independently or escalate them in a well-prepared way, and document your solutions.
- On-Site Service: You provide hands-on deskside support directly at our Ludwigsburg site – setting up and handing over hardware, troubleshooting at the workplace, and assisting colleagues in person with their devices and peripherals.
- IT Onboarding: You prepare workplaces and end-user devices (Windows & Mac) for new colleagues, set up user accounts in Microsoft 365 / Entra ID, and support them through their first IT day.
- Client Management & Maintenance: You manage and maintain our endpoints via Intune, take care of software deployment, updates, and configurations, and keep an eye on the device inventory.
- Project Work: You support IT infrastructure and automation projects, e.g. rollouts, the introduction of new tools, or the improvement of existing processes.
- Documentation: You maintain guides and our internal knowledge base so that knowledge stays accessible to everyone.
- You are an enrolled student, ideally in (business) informatics or a comparable field of study – though all tech-enthusiastic study programs are welcome.
- You have an interest in or initial experience with Microsoft 365 (e.g. Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, Entra ID, Intune).
- You bring basic knowledge of operating and administering Windows and macOS devices.
- You work in a service- and solution-oriented way, enjoy communicating with people, and take a structured approach.
- You are confident in both German and English (spoken and written).
- You work independently and reliably, and you are curious to learn new things.
- Flexible working hours
- Generous vacation entitlement plus additional special leave days (pro rata basis)
- The opportunity to work in a company at the forefront of innovation

Working student essentials
What this Tech working student role in Ludwigsburg 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.
