Aufgaben
About Mercedes-Benz At Mercedes-Benz, we are shaping the future of mobility with groundbreaking innovations and a commitment to excellence. Join our team and contribute to developing cutting-edge technologies that define the next generation of automotive experiences.
Become part of a dynamic engineering team focused on embedded systems, hardware development, and communication security within our innovative vehicle architectures, with a special focus on access and go systems (e.g., keyless entry, passive entry/go, vehicle start authorization). We are looking for bright minds eager to gain hands-on experience and contribute to real-world challenges in vehicle access technology.
As a Working Student in Hardware Development for Communication Analysis, you will play a crucial role in ensuring the robustness and security of our vehicle access systems.
Your responsibilities will include:
Developing Specialized Hardware: Design, prototype, and test custom hardware solutions specifically engineered to facilitate the analysis of communication interface with ECUs, particularly for access and go systems
This involves concept generation, schematic design, PCB layout, component selection, assembly, and functional testing of the developed hardware
Enabling RF & LF Communication Analysis: Utilize the developed hardware to implement and execute analysis setups for characterizing Radio Frequency (RF) communication signals relevant to vehicle access and authorization
This includes integrating the hardware with tools such as oscilloscopes or logic analyzers , helping to identify and resolve signal integrity and performance issues in these critical systems
Facilitating SPI Communication Decryption: Develop hardware-assisted methods and tools to capture and prepare Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) communication originating from ECU used within access and go systems for subsequent decryption.
This involves understanding SPI protocols, designing hardware interfaces for data capture, and contributing to the application of cryptographic principles to uncover sensitive information for debugging and security validation purposes
- Collaborating closely with hardware and software engineers to understand system requirements and integrate your developed hardware solutions into our existing analysis workflows
- Documenting hardware designs, methodologies, and contributing to the continuous improvement of our analysis and debugging processes
What We Offer:
Gain valuable practical experience in a leading global automotive company. You will work on exciting and challenging projects, receive insights into cutting-edge technologies, and be part of a supportive and innovative team. We offer flexible working hours to accommodate your studies.
The activity can start immediately and is limited to 6 months.
