At FERNRIDE, our Engineering – Autonomy team is building the intelligence that powers our autonomous and teleoperated yard trucks. A core enabler of our autonomy is high-quality labelled data across perception, prediction, and decision-making domains.

As a Working Student – Labelling (Robotics) (f/d/m), you will play a critical supporting role in developing safe and reliable autonomy by annotating multi-sensor datasets used in model training, testing, and validation. Your work will directly impact how our models interpret the environment and respond to dynamic, real-world conditions.

How you will leave your footprint

• Label Lidar, image, and video data according to detailed internal annotation guidelines
• Ensure consistency and precision in all labelled data used for training and evaluation
• Flag edge cases, data ambiguities, or anomalies to improve labelling clarity and tooling
• Collaborate with autonomy engineers to align on use cases, edge conditions, and quality expectations
• Contribute to continuous improvements of our labelling process and documentation
• Support validation and review of labelled datasets to uphold high-quality training standards
• Use and potentially improve automation scripts written in Python

What you will bring to the team

• You are currently enrolled in a Bachelor’s or Master’s program in computer science, robotics, cognitive systems, AI, or a related field
• You are reliable, focused, and meticulous – especially when working on repetitive tasks.
