Working Student - Data Science / Chemical Engineering (m/f/d)

Job ID: 41814  |  Location: Munich, Bavaria, Germany | Work Model: Hybrid 

Navigance, a young corporate start-up within Clariant, is looking for a Working Student (m/f/d) for our Munich office. You'll join our data science team and help develop our cloud-based platform for industrial IoT data from chemical production plants. The work spans data integration and preparation, statistical analysis and data-driven modelling.

Responsibilities:

• Build Python scripts to parse, process and integrate customer data directly into our platform.
• Bring structure to heterogeneous, real-world industrial datasets.
• Investigate process data using statistical methods and data-driven modelling.
• Connect data patterns with chemical and physical processes — that's what makes the real difference.
• Work with data scientists, process experts and the product team, and bring your own ideas to the table.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree completed, Master's in progress, at least one year remaining, available 15h+/week.
• Solid Python skills: you write, read and debug code independently. AI tools are part of the job — use them, but understand, judge and own the output.
• Hands-on experience with pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, TensorFlow or similar.
• Background in chemical or process engineering, chemistry, computer science or physics.
• Structured and proactive problem-solver, comfortable with large real-world datasets.
• Clear communicator across technical and non-technical audiences.
• Fluent English; Chinese is a plus.

Our Offer:

• Real industrial data and real customer impact.
• Direct exposure to chemical production processes and advanced analytics.
• An interdisciplinary, international team of engineers, data scientists and software developers.
• Ownership of your work, competitive pay and the perks of a modern company.
