Work Environment

As part of Volkswagen Group Innovation, our team deals with AI & Data Analytics tasks in the development of digital services for different Volkswagen Group brands. This includes topics such as processing and analyzing vehicle data as well as integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into digitized vehicles. State-of-the-art AI methods address perception and scene understanding problems in automated driving. We investigate the applicability of vision-language models for complex driving scenarios. Within these fields of innovation, we offer you the possibility to participate in the research and development and evaluation of intelligent algorithms in an interdisciplinary team and help shape the mobility of tomorrow. During your internship (at least 6 months) or thesis work, you will have the chance to tackle a complex issue in the exciting field of generative AI and automated driving. If you are pursuing a master’s thesis, the task and research questions will be determined together with your professor upon confirmation of supervision. We look forward to receiving your application.
