Description provided by RWTH Collective Incubator

**Whom you'll work with**

We are an international team of tech enthusiasts ready to bring AI solutions to the manufacturing industry. We detect errors in manual assembly processes and give feedback in real-time to the operator to correct them. The system uses a combination of deep neural networks to extract relevant information like hand movements, tools, and components from the video data (https://www.anticipate.ml/).

We are looking for our location in Aachen for a candidate with the following qualifications:

**Qualifications**

Master’s degree student in computer science or software-related with a strong interest in backend development.

  • Studies, apprenticeship, or in-depth professional experience in the field of IT / software development or in the implementation of software projects with a special focus on backend technologies
  • You are a passionate developer and have already gained experience in backend development with Javascript (NodeJS), Docker and REST among others
  • You are skilled in modern Python, Django and the Django REST Framework and a strong focus on code quality and understanding what makes software maintainable
  • Debian, nginx, PostgreSQL are no novelties for you and version control systems like GitHub, GitHub CI/CD and unit testing are self-evident for you
  • Experience with RabbitMQ, Celery and cloud-platforms (e.g. AWS, Azure, or Google-Cloud) is welcome, but not a must
  • Nice to have: Experience with container orchestration technologies, such as Docker, Kubernetes, ECS, etc.

**What you’ll do**

You will work with us on our software stack for industrial environments and improve the user experience of our product.

  • You take over the technical responsibility for individual subareas of large projects as part of a team
  • Work in a multidisciplinary team with other professionals such as backend developers and web designers
  • You like to think and work agile with Scrum or Kanban
  • Writing tests is a matter of course for you for good software products
  • Take part in the research and proofs-of-concept of new technologies. Present findings to senior technologists in the organization

**Benefits**

The possibility to gather industry experience by working on highly relevant topics, with a lot of space for autonomy in your tasks.

  • Startup atmosphere with a very friendly way of working – we are looking for a colleague to finish the day with after-work activities from time to time
  • Challenging and diverse tasks and the opportunity to learn quickly
  • A strong environment of bright colleagues, top management consulting, international tech partners, and close cooperation with our customers
  • Your work-life balance is important to us, thus we support your activity with an urban sports club membership.
  • Sounds good!?**

We would like to get to know you as soon as possible. Simply send your documents (CV + GitHub Account + if you think something else is important) to [email protected], and we will get in touch with you!

  • All working student and internship positions are paid.

Working student essentials

What this Tech working student role in Aachen 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 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.
