About the Role

OHB System AG in Bremen is seeking a Working Student (m/f/d) for 12 months to support automation activities related to AI and software-based tooling in the Assembly, Integration & Test department. The role focuses on researching AI concepts, developing prototypes, and contributing to technical proposals to prepare for constellation-scale satellite production. You will work closely with an experienced Automation Engineer to gain hands-on experience applying AI in a high-tech aerospace environment. What You'll Do

• Support the Automation Team in AI-related studies, concepts, and proposals for AIT automation

• Research and evaluate AI use cases for satellite integration and testing (e.g. log analysis, anomaly detection, operator assistance)

• Develop small prototypes, scripts, or proofs-of-concepts to validate AI or data-driven ideas

• Assist in analysing logs, telemetry, and process data to identify automation or optimization potential

• Prepare technical documentation, concept descriptions, and presentation material for internal or customer proposals

• Support the development and improvement of internal tools and automation frameworks

• Collaborate with automation and tester engineers to understand real workflows and challenges

• Help identify manual or repetitive processes that could benefit from AI-assisted automation

• This role does not require full ownership of automation frameworks or production code, but focuses on support, research, and implementation under guidance. What We're Looking For
