• Work with data across systems and formats, improving structure, quality, and usability step by step.
• Support the development of a scalable data governance approach and related frameworks.
• Contribute to understanding product use‑phase data and defining sensor, connectivity, and cloud/edge requirements for future product architectures.
• Develop prototypes, models, and tools that help business teams make data‑driven decisions.
• Collaborate with engineering, sustainability, product management, and manufacturing teams on small and mid‑sized data projects.

What You Bring

• Interest and openness to learn.
• Curiosity and motivation to work with real‑world, imperfect data.
• Foundational exposure to machine learning concepts.
• Beneficial knowledge areas: Python, SQL, embedded systems, IoT/edge/cloud infrastructures, data visualization tools.
• Passion for technology, sustainability, and product innovation.
• A collaborative, proactive way of working.
• Good English skills (must‑have); German and another language is beneficial.

We offer 30 days of vacation, meaningful international collaboration with opportunities to travel to our global sites, and the chance to make a real impact on sustainability as part of a forward‑thinking team.
