Working Student / Intern – Control Team (Systems & Data Infrastructure) (f/m/d)

🌍 Shape the Future of Climate Tech with Phlair! Fossil fuels have powered our economy for decades—at the cost of pollution and a changing climate. At Phlair, we’re reversing that equation. With our cost-efficient, scalable electrochemical Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology, we pull CO₂ from the air to either store it permanently or repurpose it into CO₂-negative chemicals. Join us in enabling a carbon-negative future. 🚀 WHY WE’RE DIFFERENT? We’ve developed a breakthrough hydrolizer for acid/base regeneration, enabling scalable CO₂ capture. With partners like Frontier Climate, Stripe, and Shopify, we’re on track to make a global impact. Our Project Dawn is our flagship initiative, setting the foundation to scale our technology and remove millions of tons of CO₂ from the atmosphere. We're one of the only seven DAC companies with a proven offtake agreement. Phlair is poised to become a technology leader, leveraging renewable energy and low-cost DAC to provide clean energy solutions that go beyond carbon removal. 🛠️ YOUR MISSION AT PHLAIR - IoT & Data Infrastructure: Build and manage the pipeline capturing data from our Beckhoff PLCs via OPC-UA and other fieldbus technologies. - Database Mastery: Structure and maintain the databases (e.g., InfluxDB, PostgreSQL) that store our experimental data, ensuring it is clean and scalable. - Visualization & "Deep Insight" Tools: Own our Grafana stack. Create intuitive dashboards that allow our scientists to compare different experiments in a highly visual and seamless fashion. - Full-Stack Automation: Develop internal tools and AI-enabled workflows (using Python or Claude Code) to automate the transition from raw experiment to reported insight. System Reliability: Take responsibility for the health of our data flow from the sensor level to the cloud—no data gaps, no downtime. 🥼 WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TEAM - Education: Currently enrolled or completed studies in Computer Science, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field. - The "Control" Toolkit: - Proven experience with Databases and Grafana. - Understanding of IoT architectures and industrial protocols (OPC-UA / Beckhoff PLC experience is a massive plus). - Proficient in Python for data processing and automation. - High Ownership: You thrive in unstructured environments. You don't wait for a manual; you write it. - Attention to Detail: You understand that in hardware-software integration, the smallest configuration error can invalidate weeks of testing. - Commitment: Available on-site for at least 6 months. - Adaptability: You will get pulled in to side quests often when hands are needed, especially in mechanical build out - Bridge the Gap: You possess the ability to translate complex scientific requirements into robust technical specifications. You listen to the needs of the lab and deliver solutions that solve their specific pain points. 🏭 HOW WE WORK AT PHLAIR - Onsite & Collaborative: Our offices in Ismaning, Germany, house our pilot plant, where we work physically on our product every day. The team collaborates closely in the office, five days a week. - Main Hub & Expansion: Our primary location is in Munich (Ismaning), Germany, and we’re launching our Edmonton, Canada team in late 2025/2026. 🌱 WHAT WE OFFER? - Competitive salary and stock options to share in the company’s success - 30 vacation days, including 2 days of recreational leave - Public transport pass for all of Germany - Relocation support to help you settle into Munich - Fitness and wellness benefits to keep you at your best - Fresh team lunches, prepared by our amazing chef, Amelie - Direct leadership access to our CEO, CTO, and CSO 🔗 LEARN MORE ABOUT PHLAIR - Our Mission, Vision and Team https://phlair.com/careers - Phlair Secures Frontier’s First Electrochemical DAC Deal https://frontierclimate.com/writing/phlair - Technology Behind Phlair https://techcrunch.com/2024/09/19/phlairs-carbon-sucking-technology-could-lower-direct-air-captures-...
