Simulation Tooling Working Student

Meet the Team: 

The Simulation Environment team plays a key role in simulating a virtual world in which autonomous trucks can be tested. Testing in this virtual world allows a fast assessment of the developed autonomous driving functions and a rapid creation of results for different driving scenarios. For these tests to be meaningful, it is essential that the virtual truck behaves like a truck in the real world: the physics of the real autonomous truck must be adequately represented by virtual vehicle dynamics models. In addition
to developing these models, the Simulation Environment team also develops evaluation tools to assess the validity of the vehicle dynamics model against closed-course/on-road test measurements.

What you'll do: 

We are seeking a talented working student to join our team in Stuttgart. You will be supporting the development of testing methods and software tools for autonomous vehicles. In this role, you will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the cutting-edge field of autonomous vehicles and contribute to the development and testing of this technology.

Develop tools to accelerate vehicle model development
• Develop tools to compare/analyze simulation results generated by vehicle models of varying
complexity
• Develop and implement continuous integration tests to automate testing processes for the tools
you created.
• Collaborate with team members to identify relevant vehicle dynamic scenarios and develop
virtual test cases for them
• Create comprehensive documentation for developed tools, including user guides and technical
specifications.

What you’ll need to Succeed: 

• Pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Mechanical/ Electrical Engineering, or a related field
• Strong attention to detail and problem-solving skills
• Ability to work effectively in a team environment
• Strong programming skills, ideally in Python

Bonus Points! 

• Experience in other programming languages such as C++
• Experience with Linux, CI tools and Git is a plus
