Description provided by Siemens Gamesa
Explore and improve the engineering tools in load calculation landscape for wind turbine support structures. Investigate shortcomings in documents shared by load engineers, shape an SDLC plan, and contribute to software upgrades that enhance quality and usability. As an off critical path assignment, you’ll learn, collaborate with (future) peers, apply academic skills in practice, and gain domain insights while making a meaningful contribution.
How You'll Make An Impact
- Requirements gathering: Collect and analyze needs from load engineers to understand current issues in tools, templates, and the tools that use or generate them
- Software development: Implement software enhancements based on gathered requirements to improve tools that generate engineering documents
- Validation and testing: Validate tool updates using unit and integration testing to ensure quality, reliability, and compliance with agreed standards
- Collaboration: Work within a Scrum team to design, test, and deploy improvements, engaging with stakeholders for feedback and iteration
- Reporting and insights: Aggregate user experiences, identify key improvement areas across the documentation landscape, and recommend focus areas for future development
- Impact measurement: Help define and track simple metrics to quantify user-experience enhancements resulting from your changes
- Curiosity and a learning mindset, with motivation to understand how engineering documentation supports wind turbine support structure design
- Foundational software engineering skills (e.g., requirements gathering, solution design, version control, and testing practices)
- Basic programming experience sufficient to implement and validate tool improvements.
- An eye for detail and quality in documents: clarity, consistency, revision management, and data reporting
- Strong analytical and communication skills to translate user feedback into actionable requirements and clear recommendations
- A collaborative approach and comfort working in a Scrum team
- Fluency in English; additional documentation or technical writing skills are a plus
- Nice to have: interest in user experience for engineering tools and familiarity with engineering document workflows

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