Working Student IT / OT (m/f/d) – IT & Digitalization

Your mission

• You take an active role in the digitalization of our pilot line, helping to make machine data, process parameters, and sensor data structurally capturable.
• Using our IoT stack, you connect devices, configure data streams, and ensure that raw data is transformed into actionable information – from the machine all the way to the dashboard.
• You build and maintain monitoring dashboards in Grafana that do more than just display data – they create real value for our team: clear, meaningful, and in real time.
• You write Python scripts for data analysis, automation, and integration between various system components.
• You document your work and internal processes in a way that ensures your knowledge is sustainably embedded within the team.

Your profile

• You are studying Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Information Technology, Embedded Systems, or a comparable field, and have a genuine passion for IT/OT systems and industrial digitalization.
• You already have hands-on experience with Linux, Docker, or Python – whether from your studies, a side project, or a previous role.
• Terms like MQTT, InfluxDB, Grafana, Node-RED, or OPC-UA are familiar to you – or at least spark your curiosity.
• You have a basic understanding of networking (TCP/IP, VLANs, firewalls) and are not afraid to dive into unfamiliar topics.
• You work independently, think in solutions, and want to actively shape things rather than just work through a ticket queue.
• You communicate fluently in German and English, both written and spoken.
• You are available for at least 6 months at 16–20 hours per week and are willing to work on-site at our office in Aachen.
• Bonus: Show us a project that excited you – whether a personal hobby project, thesis, or something from your studies. We are interested in how you approach problems and what drives you.

Why us?

• You take ownership from day one – after an intensive onboarding, you'll build something unique with us and shape outcomes with real impact on results.
• You work on something that truly matters – with your contribution, you strengthen Europe's battery supply chains and make circular economy a reality on an industrial scale.
• You're part of a mission-driven team – in a fast-paced scale-up environment, we live collaboration, because we can only move things forward together.
• You work to the highest standards – we combine the professionalism of leading industry with the innovative power of a top-tier, research-driven technology team.
