Additional Information

The AI Lab Berlin is part of Continental's central research and pre-development and will be responsible for enabling the use of artificial intelligence in future products of our company. With our team of currently 25 employees, we take advantage of the opportunity to actively participate in the latest developments in this research field in a co-working space. This novel concept for Continental also involves several organizational challenges, and there are various areas where you can assist us. You will get to know the corporate structure, work in a highly motivated team, and maintain agile exchanges with start-ups, established companies, and universities. Working at the AI Campus in Berlin means being part of a highly motivated team focused on artificial intelligence. In one of Germany's centers for AI, it is our vision to be at the forefront of research by seeking open exchange with the community. Numerous presentations, meetings, and discussions, as well as various team events, ensure a rapid exchange of information. In our newly established team, consisting mainly of PhD students, we maintain a harmonious working atmosphere with relaxed collaboration and exchange.
