Job-ID: MER0003TX6
Mercedes-Benz AG is the world's most valuable brand for luxury passenger cars. We focus on the development, production and sales of passenger cars, vans and vehicle-related services. Furthermore, the company aspires to be the leader in the fields of electric mobility and vehicle software.
Mercedes-Benz Cars Development (RD) has persistently been pioneering the automotive technology of the future. Highest quality, most innovative products and most efficient development processes are our day-to-day claim. We are already working today on vehicles that will secure the technological leadership of Mercedes-Benz in the future. One of the most important factors contributing to this leadership aspiration is agile vehicle software development at the heart of the new Mercedes-Benz operating system: MB.OS
Our department is responsible for the software development of the Zone Controller platform (complex control units with power distribution, I/O management, gateway functionality, applications for vehicle and comfort functions, etc.) for our future MB.OS vehicle architectures. In order to improve the quality of our software, we are looking for a Master student thesis to explore the potential of LLMs in this area.
You will master these tasks:
- Parse and normalize outputs from static analysis tools (e.g., QAC, Polyspace, Coverity, PC-lint)

- Prototype an LLM-based assistant that:
- Summarize large MISRA violation reports
- Suggests compliant fixes or structured deviation justifications
- Generates audit-ready summaries for ISO 26262 evidence
- Integrate the prototype into a simple CI/CD workflow (e.g., GitLab plugin, or Python pipeline)
- Document results for both technical thesis and potential internal PoC presentation
- Master's degree program in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics or related fields
- Strong programming in Python
- Familiarity with C programming and coding standards (MISRA C knowledge is a plus, but not mandatory)
- Experience with NLP / LLMs (Hugging Face, OpenAI, LangChain, or similar frameworks)
- Basic knowledge of static code analysis tools (any exposure to QAC, Coverity, or Polyspace is an advantage)
- Interest in automotive software development and functional safety (ISO 26262)
- Ability to work independently on research-oriented problems
- Language: English C1, German is a bonus
Good to Have
- Knowledge of AUTOSAR architecture
- Understanding of software quality and compliance workflows
- Previous experience with ML/AI research projects
Learning Outcomes
- Hands-on experience in applying LLMs to real industrial challenges
- Exposure to automotive safety standards (ISO 26262, MISRA C)
- Experience in toolchain integration (CI/CD, Jira/Polarion links, reporting)
- Publication-ready research work (can be used for thesis / academic papers)
- Mentorship from experienced FuSa software architects
