Your working environment

At MAN Truck & Bus, we are part of a strong international team and one of Europe's leading commercial vehicle manufacturers and providers of transportation solutions. Together with Scania, Volkswagen Truck & Bus, International we are part of the TRATON GROUP.
As part of this group, we face major challenges: Our vehicles are becoming increasingly autonomous and connected in order to reduce emissions on the road. We are working on sustainable solutions for this. A career at MAN Truck & Bus offers countless opportunities to participate in this change. Putting the customer first, respect, team spirit, responsibility and avoiding waste - these are the corporate values we live by at MAN.

Pull together with us. As part of our global team of over 36,000 employees, you will join us in turning visions of the future into reality.
We see the individuality of our employees as a strength and welcome diverse applications from people with different backgrounds. If you need support during your application, please contact us.

You can look forward to these tasks

Depending on the current project phase, you will support us in a range of exciting areas that can be tailored to your interests and skills. Your day-to-day work will involve contributing to an ongoing prototype of a compound LLM System; the thesis itself will focus on analysing how compound multi-agent LLM systems can optimally transition from proof-of-concepts to production-ready solutions. In this context, your responsibilities may include:

• Collaborating on prototype features of a multi-agent LLM engineering assistant to deepen understanding of architecture and workflows
• Supporting evaluations, benchmarking and structured testing
• Participating in internal workshops and contributing to system demonstrations
• Analysing the current prototype architecture and identifying gaps toward production readiness
• Deriving recommendations for improving robustness, maintainability and scalability of Compound LLM systems as a whole
• Researching state-of-the-art academic and industrial approaches in order to identify success factors for GenAI automation projects in industry
• Working with key technologies including Amazon AWS Bedrock, Ansys DPF, custom simulation analysis libraries and embedding models

We are looking forward to

• Ongoing studies in Computer Science, Engineering, Mechatronics, Artificial Intelligence or a related technical field
• Programming experience and motivation to work in applied AI contexts
• Interest in modern GenAI orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LangGraph)
• Strong ability to work independently, take initiative, and structure your tasks
• Curiosity about LLM-based agents, workflow automation and engineering simulation processes
• English and German skills (both are acceptable, bilingual communication possible)
• Optional but beneficial: familiarity with cloud environments such as AWS

Work modalities

As our team is distributed, remote work is encouraged and fully supported. If you prefer working on-site, office space in Munich is available. Two short visits to Munich for hardware handover (start and end of the thesis) are required.
