Metrics, Dashboards & Governance: Monitor process feedback, track improvement requests via Jira dashboards, and create user-friendly onboarding materials and quick-reference guides for the EDS engineering community.

What you´ll need:

• Active student from any of the last 2 semesters of Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronic engineering
• 90% English skills (Oral, reading, writing, and listening)
• Strong analytical and communication skills
• Knowledge of or strong interest in Process Mapping, Value Stream Mapping (VSM), and continuous process improvement methodologies.
• Passion for leveraging AI tools and digital innovation to solve engineering challenges and automate documentation workflows.
• Basic understanding of automotive Electrical Distribution Systems (EDS), wire harness design, or vehicle product development (GPDS/PDP).
• Familiarity with collaboration tools such as Jira, Confluence, Microsoft SharePoint, or Visio.
• Proactive mindset, detail-oriented work ethic, and ability to collaborate effectively in cross-functional engineering environments.
