What To Expect

Location: Gigafactory Berlin Brandenburg
Duration: 6 months
Time type: Full time
Start date: As soon as possible

The Paint Shop Software & Data Engineering team leverages manufacturing data to build custom tooling, dashboards, and digital manufacturing solutions. Our goal is to make the daily work of engineering colleagues easier, reduce costs, and increase the vertical integration of our paint shop processes.

We are looking for a motivated and proactive intern to join our team in Giga Berlin.

What You'll Do

• Design, develop, and deploy data-driven internal tools to improve the workflows of manufacturing, process, and quality engineers
• Create clear, insightful dashboards and visualizations for key manufacturing KPIs
• Automate recurring data requests from engineering teams and management
• Spend time on the production line. Many of the most valuable problems are discovered by understanding the people, processes, and equipment firsthand
• Work with data streams of varying complexity, ranging from millisecond-resolution robotic sensor data to high-level ERP information
• Take ownership of your own projects from start to finish and deliver meaningful improvements to paint shop operation

What You'll Bring

• Currently enrolled in a BS or MS program in Computer Science, Data Science, Industrial Engineering, or a related field
• Strong programming fundamentals and the ability to quickly learn new technologies (Python, SQL, ML and computer vision experience is a strong plus)
• Demonstrated first-principles problem-solving skills, especially the ability to take ambiguous problems and turn them into actionable solutions
• Knowledge of manufacturing-related KPIs and data streams (ERP, MES, and PLC-level data) is a plus
• Familiarity with Ignition or other SCADA systems is a plus
• Practical experience building with LLMs and AI agents, applying agentic engineering practices to accelerate development and automate repetitive work is highly valued
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment and manage multiple tasks simultaneously
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English and/or German
