We are looking for a Working Student (m/f/d) to support a strategic tracking hardware product development program. You will be based primarily at our G+D IoT Solutions site in Unterschleißheim, supporting the project lead with coordination, documentation, stakeholder tracking, Quality gates milestone preparation, and cross-functional follow-up across a complex, multi-workstream tracking hardware development program — helping keep the project transparent, structured, and on track.
Your tasks:
Maintaining a central source of truth: project documentation, meeting notes, decisions, and action-item tracking in Confluence and Jira
Supporting project quality gates preparation: tracking project deliverable status, evidence links, and gate readiness per milestone
Maintaining the RAID log: risks, issues, assumptions, dependencies, and decisions — with owner, status, and due dates
Preparing presentations, status updates, and board briefings for the Project Manager and steering audiences
Tracking cross-functional actions across engineering, certifications, production, quality, and procurement streams
Following up on open actions and flagging potential delays to the Project Manager early
Supporting coordination with internal and external partners
Exploring opportunities to use AI tools and process automation to improve efficiency and documentation quality
Your qualifications:
Enrolled student (m/f/d), ideally at Master's level, in Industrial Engineering (Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen), or a related field
Minimum 12 months remaining enrollment
Strong skills in MS Office (Excel, PowerPoint) and ideally Jira / Confluence / SharePoint
Basic understanding of hardware product development — ability to follow technical discussions on topics such as ATEX certification, BOM, testing, production processes, and supplier coordination
Familiarity with project management concepts (PRINCE2, Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)/Quality Gate (QG) milestone logic is a strong plus)
Analytical mindset with attention to detail and a structured, reliable, proactive working style
Strong stakeholder-facing communication skills; excellent English and good German (written and spoken)
Interest in product certification, industrialization, hardware development, or AI-based tools is a plus
Your benefits:
A dynamic and international work environment in a leading technology company
Flexible working hours, based primarily on-site at our IoT Solutions site in Unterschleißheim, with some remote flexibility
Direct involvement in a complex, cross-functional hardware development program with ATEX certification, production industrialization, and multi-partner coordination
Attractive compensation and networking opportunities with other working students
Possibility of future employment after graduation
