Your Role  

As a Robotics, Software & Hardware Testing Working Student, you will play a key role in evaluating the performance, reliability, and stability of the NAiSE application in a real multi-robot environment. You will work hands-on with autonomous mobile robots (AGV’s and AMRs) from different manufacturers, ensuring flawless interaction with the NAiSE intralogistics platform. This is an on-site for 20 hours/week, in-person position, directly interacting with hardware, robots, and software systems multiple times a week at ARENA2036 e.V., Pfaffenwaldring 19, 70569 Stuttgart. 

What You Will Do  

  • Execute daily functional, integration, system, and performance tests of the NAiSE intralogistics platform using real autonomous mobile robots.  
  • Develop automation flows in Node-RED to realize realistic production processes, order sequences, and interactions using different communication Interfaces, I/O devices and PLCs with mobile robots and NAiSE Intralogistics Platform.  
  • Validate end-to-end workflows, including order management, robot navigation, fleet management, and communication interfaces.  
  • Investigate unexpected robot behavior, communication issues, and system irregularities in a structured, reproducible Quality Assurance manner.  
  • Document and report software, hardware, and integration-related issues with clarity and precision, supporting NAiSE operations and development team in root cause analysis.  
  • Verify communication flows over MQTT, OPC UA, Modbus, REST, and other relevant interfaces.  
  • Design new test scenarios, stress tests, and edge-case simulations to improve coverage and uncover hidden issues.  
  • Support configuration, calibration, localization and maintenance of robots, sensors, and supporting infrastructure.  
  • Contribute to improving the overall quality assurance workflow by providing insights based on daily real-world testing.  

What You Bring  

  • Enrollment in a Bachelor’s or Master’s program in Robotics, Automation Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Cybernetics, Information Technology, Computer Science, or a comparable technical discipline.  
  • Strong interest and motivation to work directly with mobile robots, automation systems, and hardware in real operational environments.  
  • Foundational understanding of robotic systems, sensors, navigation concepts, or intralogistics automation is advantageous.  
  • First experience with or willingness to rapidly learn Node-RED and automation-flow design.  
  • Knowledge of industrial communication protocols such as MQTT, OPC UA, Modbus, and REST APIs.  
  • Familiarity with engineering tools such as Git, Docker/Podman, or similar development frameworks.  
  • A structured and detail-oriented approach to testing, debugging, and documentation — ideally with a Quality Assurance mindset.  
  • Hands-on mentality, problem-solving capability, and willingness to learn and work independently.  
  • Strong communication skills in English; German skills are beneficial but not mandatory.
