Focus subject Software & Electronics

Food requirements continually increase. Agricultural areas continually decrease. The solution? Efficient software, systems and machine components by CLAAS. With us, you can develop ideas, implement them and harvest the future. Our agricultural information technologies bring the best out of machines, drivers and companies. And during the 18-month Trainee Programme, you can bring the best out of yourself and your professional development. Together with us.

CLAAS E-Systems bundles the electronics competence of the CLAAS group for central electronics themes. As a trainee, you will gain insights into the various fields of our development, such as System Engineering, Software Development, Hardware and Testing. You will contribute to working on the infrastructure for Farming 4.0 and develop embedded software platforms for Linux-based control units from communication modules up to terminals. You will fulfil tasks from software architecture to the software design up to implementation. Within agile teams, you will work on exciting research and development projects as well as on technical challenges. Become a part of our ground-breaking sector and actively help shape the future of agricultural engineering.

This sets you apart from others:

You have a high affinity for digitalisation and new approaches. You are familiar with agile development methods and motivated to produce and implement new ideas. You enjoy the open and direct exchange with colleagues and you like working in a team. You are a passionate developer and besides German and English, you also speak C++ or Java fluently and run on Embedded Linux.
