Working Student - Industrial Drilling Systems (m/f/d)

Company:

Boeing Deutschland GmbH - BDG

About the role

We are looking for an Working Student to support the development of digital infrastructure concepts for industrial drilling systems. The focus of the role is to understand how machine and process data are generated in a PLC-controlled drilling setup, how these data should be structured and stored, and how they can be transferred into OEM-side systems for further use.

The Working Student will support work at the interface of manufacturing, automation, and data engineering. A key objective is to enable structured, usable, and traceable drilling data that can support process analysis and performance monitoring.

Job details:

• The Working Student will be 80% of working time at the Technical University Munich and 20% at the Boeing Munich Office.

• Working Hours: 20h per week during semester and 40h per week during semester break.

• Contract Duration: 6 months.

Position Responsibilities:

• Support the analysis of a PLC-controlled drilling setup in a supplier environment

• Help identify relevant metadata to be captured during drilling operations

• Support the definition of a suitable data model for storage, traceability, and later analysis

• Contribute to concepts for data flow from the supplier-side machine environment to OEM-side infrastructure

• Help assess how the digital setup can be aligned with OEM requirements for integration and data handling

• Support the preparation of structured data for downstream analysis and generation of process-related metrics

• Assist in documenting interfaces, information flow, and technical requirements for future implementation

Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/Experience):
