Intern Development of Electric Drive Systems

Life is always about becoming... In life it is about going on a journey to become the best version of our future self. As we discover new things, we face challenges, master them and grow beyond us.

Apply to Mercedes-Benz and find the area where you can develop your talents individually. You will be supported by visionary colleagues who share your pioneering spirit. Joining us means becoming part of a global team whose goal is to build the most desirable cars in the world. Together for excellence.

Number: MER000417M Are you full of deeds and are you willing to put your learned technical knowledge into practice and shape the most desirable cars of the future? Then you are right with us! In the early development phase, our motivated and innovative team at the Sindelfingen site has the responsibility for designing the high-voltage architecture for the future Mercedes-Benz plug-in and electric vehicles, consisting of e-drive, power electronics, battery and charging system. In the subsequent series development phase up to market launch, we implement the high-voltage architecture individually for each vehicle series and forms the interface of development responsibility to all other areas of the group. You will thus get a very broad insight into the activities in the different vehicle development phases over all electrified series at Mercedes Benz, from the first design to the market launch of our vehicles. These topics come to you: As part of the team, you actively participate in new innovative development projects in the field of HV drive systems

You support the team in the development process or in day-to-day business in general administrative and organizational activities

You support system managers and module group speakers in project and committee management up to the management level, the meeting organization, the tracking of work packages and the creation of overviews and presentations

Depending on the order situation or, where appropriate, on the basis of your own interest, these topics can be addressed to you: You can actively contribute to the investigation and development of new electrical drive concepts and support us in this - including the design of electrical components and the specification of electrical systems

Structural work in the construction of electrical high-voltage components

Designing circuits for highly integrated HV component

To build the most desirable cars in the world, we must always keep a close eye on the competition - your task is to have a look at the activities of our competitors and to report them transparently.

The work with us in the team is very diverse and varied, as we have a lot of interfaces to the entire development and you will also get a broad insight into the diverse areas of work within the development and thus actively shape our vehicles in the future. Depending on the degree of maturity of the project, we also work directly on the vehicle prototypes and record measurement data during a test trip and then evaluate them. The activity can begin from August or September 2026.

Studies in electrical engineering, mechatronics, automotive engineering, electromobility, mechanical engineering or comparable studies

Ideally, you have completed your Bachelor's degree and are in master's degree

Practical experience through training previous internships, Formula Student, or similar are of advantage, but not absolutely necessary

Experiences in Matlab/Simulink and in design programs such as Siemens NX are desirable.

Safe handling of MS Office

Ready to incorporate into new Mercedes-own tools

Enthusiasm for electric mobility

Own initiative, sense of responsibility, reliability, rapid understanding, commitment and teamability

Analytical, Structured and Independent Operation

Secure, fluent German - and English in Word and Writing

The duration of the internship is 6 months and takes place on site in Sindelfingen
