WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
We're looking for a motivated Computer Vision Intern (ideally 6 months, mandatory internship) to join our Safety Systems team in Schönaich (close to Stuttgart), with a flexible start date. If you're passionate about real-time 3D perception and want to contribute to safety-critical systems that keep people safe around humanoid robots — this is a uniquely impactful place to develop your skills.
HERES WHERE YOU MAKE AN IMPACT
-
Implement and benchmark 3D person detection algorithms that fuse depth, RGB, and point cloud data — the core perception layer for knowing where humans are relative to the robot at all times
-
Build and integrate Safe Human Detection (SHD) prototype pipeline, turning raw sensor data into actionable, safety-relevant information
-
Develop test harnesses and validating that the safety interface behaves correctly under all defined conditions
-
Run benchmarking and data collection to generate the kind of reproducible, documented evidence that a real certification process requires
WHO YOU ARE
-
Enrolled MSc student in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or Robotics — with a strong interest in applied perception and real-world systems
-
Strong Python skills and working knowledge of C++, with the ability to move between rapid prototyping and more structured, maintainable implementation
-
Experience with computer vision and 3D depth sensing — RealSense, Azure Kinect, or similar — and a genuine understanding of what the data actually represents
-
Familiar with point cloud processing tools like PCL or Open3D
-
Basic knowledge of the ROS2 perception stack; interest in safety-critical systems and functional safety context is a plus
WHATS IN IT FOR YOU
-
Flexible working hours when life takes unexpected turns
-
Company support for gym memberships through Wellpass
-
Birthday vouchers
-
Drinks and coffee (free of charge, of course)
-
Snacks and fruit for all employees, as well as breakfast every Monday
-
Regular global team-building events such as boot camps, skiing, and summer BBQs
-
An international team with long-term prospects
-
Highly competent colleagues who are experts in their field and happy to support you in your learning and growth
-
Modern office space
-
