Big Energy - Powered by Bold People

We are a growing company where innovation isn’t just a buzzword - it’s how we work every day. AI is at the core of what we build, especially where engineering meets intelligent systems.

As a Working Student in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering for AI Applications, you’ll connect real-world engineering knowledge with AI use cases - from supporting visual inspection models to structuring technical specifications for AI tools. f you’re curious about applying AI to industrial challenges and turning data into practical solutions, you’ll fit right in.

Your Tasks:

• Act as the bridge between our engineering domain knowledge and our AI use cases.
• Support our Visual Inspector project: help define visual inspection criteria for high-voltage components, label and curate image datasets, and validate the model's outputs against real engineering and quality standards.
• Support our Spec Analyzer: help structure technical specifications and map electrical/mechanical requirements (IEC / IEEE / ANSI standards, product characteristics) into a form our AI tools can use.
• Build and clean training and evaluation datasets from manufacturing, quality and product master data.
• Translate engineering and shop-floor requirements into clear, actionable requirements for the AI/BI team.
• Test AI tools against real product data and document what works, what doesn't, and why.
  
  
  

Requirements:

• Enrolled student for at least 12 more month in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Energy Engineering or a related field.
• Genuine interest in applying AI/ML to industrial and manufacturing problems. Basic understanding of technical drawings, manufacturing processes, and/or electrical standards.
• A structured, detail-oriented way of working — essential for data labeling and validation.
• Knowledge of Python and basic data analysis (pandas, SQL). Familiarity with ML concepts - classification, computer vision, or LLMs.
• Exposure to high-voltage equipment, transformers, or similar power products.
• Experience with SAP or PLM/product data.
• Good communication in German and English (German is helpful for engineering and shop-floor documentation).
