  • In-depth knowledge in at least one of the areas of AI Security, AI Quality or AI Transparency (e.g. Adversarial Attacks, Model and Data Integrity, Testing and Validation Methods, Explainable AI) as well as a willingness to learn about related topics.
  • A basic understanding of the risks of modern AI systems and an interest in their evaluation in the context of architecture, data, models, and system behavior.
  • Knowledge of or interest in regulatory requirements and standards (e.g., EU AI Act, Cyber ​​Resilience Act) as well as a structured and audience-appropriate analysis and preparation of technical issues.
  • Experience in collaborating with stakeholders, conducting workshops, technical coordination meetings, and presenting technical results in a way that is appropriate for the target audience.
  • Very good German and good English skills, both spoken and written.
Goals:
You will be responsible for conducting thorough analyses, developing solution concepts, and integrating key AI assurance components into complex system landscapes.
