Mercedes-Benz is pioneering the future of the automotive sector!

At Mercedes-Benz Cars Research and Development (R&D), we are crafting the future generations of automobiles. Central to our efforts is the advancement of the Mercedes-Benz Operating System (MBOS), a software-defined architecture that empowers us to reimagine vehicles from scratch. Our work is defined by sustainability, unparalleled quality, and energy efficiency. Achieving excellence in software development is our standard. We place a significant emphasis on prototypical development, whether in assessing new technologies or exploring the usability of open-source solutions

In the rapidly evolving automotive landscape, the shift towards electric and autonomous vehicles, coupled with the increasing complexity of electronics, underscores the need for innovative testing methodologies. Distributed testing, as a concept, offers a scalable solution by allowing for the remote, simultaneous testing of physical and virtual systems across various locations, enhancing efficiency, and reducing development costs.

Join our pioneering project and be involved in the following tasks:

  • Reviewing cutting-edge technology and research to identify academic gaps and opportunities for innovations
  • Exploring the advantages and disadvantages of synchronous and asynchronous communication paradigms in distributed systems and automotive networking
  • Analyzing and comparing the performance of various architectures across different test scenarios
  • Developing and validating new testing frameworks with both simulations and hardware prototypes

The final thesis selection is made in close consultation with you, the university and us.


  • Advanced studies in Software Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Automotive Engineering or a related discipline
  • Solid academic record with notable university entrance qualifications
  • Prior experience in programming and knowledge of automotive networks will be considered beneficial
  • Demonstrated commitment with the capacity to collaborate effectively within a team as well as autonomously
