We're looking for a motivated Functional Safety Intern (ideally 6 months, mandatory internship) to join our Safety Systems team in Schönaich (close to Stuttgart), with a flexible start date. You will own the tooling that keeps our safety evidence coherent — requirement files, our ALM system, test annotations and CI all need to agree with each other — and you will build it working alongside AI coding agents, every day. Roughly 60% of your time goes into safety tooling you own outright, 20% into supporting certification and assessment work, and 20% into requirements engineering. If that is your passion this is a uniquely impactful place to develop your skills.

• Build and maintain the synchronisation between our requirement files and the ALM system

• Write CI checks that enforce safety evidence rather than merely describe it — traceability from requirements to tests, and coverage figures that can be relied on

• Maintain the automation around our review and release workflows, treating these as support tools under the standard, with the tool-qualification thinking that implies

• Prepare responses to external assessor review protocols and track document versions issued to the assessor, so open points can be closed

• Author and refine requirements across the product, system and unit tiers; maintain traceability and gap registers; keep requirements and architecture diagrams consistent with one another

• Enrolled MSc student in Electrical Engineering, Software, Mechatronic or Robotics — with a strong interest in functional safety

• Working knowledge of safety development lifecycles and workflows

• Exposure to a functional safety standard (IEC 61508, ISO 13849, ISO 26262, or IEC 62061)

• Familiarity with FMEA, diagnostic coverage, or failure-rate budgeting

• Experience with ALM or requirements tools such as Polarion, codebeamer, Jama, or DOORS

• Real experience working with AI coding agents (Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor or equivalent) — be ready to talk about what you built, where it was confidently wrong, and how you found out
