We’re looking for bright Star Protégés to join our team. 

At Critical TechWorks, our Star Protégés are not just interns, but future tech trailblazers. If you’re a recent graduate, joining us as a Star Protégé means embarking on a journey filled with challenges, growth, and innovation.

This is a full-time (40 hours per week), six-month internship, and we are specifically looking for candidates who are available and interested in joining us as full-time employees if everything goes well. This format works best for both of us - you can understand the lifecycle of our products and become familiar with our methods. With a scholarship and the opportunity to work alongside our technical stars, this internship is more than just a stepping stone—it’s a career-defining experience.

As a Star Protégé, you’ll gain hands-on experience in cutting-edge technologies and methodologies while contributing to real-world projects shaping mobility's future. From autonomous driving to vehicle connectivity, you’ll have the chance to make an impact right away.

• In-House Training: Become fully integrated into our development teams and work on real projects. With support from experienced mentors, you'll build upon your skills in exciting technologies - such as Java, C++/Android, Data, or others - depending on the project.

• Real-World Experience: Apply your newfound knowledge to live projects within our units, collaborating with top engineers on products that matter.

• Innovative Methodologies: Gain firsthand exposure to BizDevOps and Agile/Scrum principles, the cornerstones of how we work and innovate.

This is no ordinary internship; it’s an opportunity to learn, grow, and shine in an inspiring environment that supports creativity, collaboration, and excellence.    

Whatever you’re working on, here’s the lowdown on the technical skills you’re likely to have:

• A desired degree in Computer Science and Engineering, Information Systems and Computer Engineering, or Telecommunications and Informatics Engineering.

• Academic knowledge of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), preferably Java, Python, or C++.

• Academic familiarity with Android, C++, DevOps, Cloud Security or Data Engineering.
