Digitization is our DNA.
Each of us has a great deal of curiosity and the will to help shape the future of digitization and make a difference with our work. And we do this across a broad thematic spectrum! Digitization is not an industry solution, but affects the future of all of us. Therefore, we use synergy effects from our projects for application fields in different areas of digitization.
We become active in a wide range of topics!
Which future topic would you like to dedicate yourself to in the future?
We do not hire employees according to their jobs, but according to their strengths!
Therefore, your activities at the August-Wilhelm Scheer Institute can be very diverse. There are many colleagues who combine several roles – which of course makes the work all the more exciting.

Research
For us, research means not only developing new theories, but also bringing innovations to the streets. Together with you, we develop new research approaches for the future of digitization and not look at them in an ivory tower, but actually put them into practice. Together we think topics ahead and deal with the companies of the future – or as we call it “Super Smart Enterprises”.
Our goal is to shape new topics, to develop unconventional ideas and to make an impact on business and society with our work on innovative digitization projects.
As a developer, you will immerse yourself in various topics and work with different technologies, programming languages and frameworks. We develop innovative applications that solve problems of the future – whether through the use of Artificial Intelligence or the development of new Extended Reality solutions. You shape your work yourself: From building and designing the basic software architecture to the practical implementation and testing within our projects, you can contribute your ideas and work independently in an agile team at eye level.
We continuously face new challenges and work with technologies on the pulse of time. Our tech stack is also versatile. Learn more about it on our stackshare page.
We develop new topics from the idea on the whiteboard to the project conception to the implementation in practice and manage the innovation process from the beginning. However, you won’t find classic project management with us – we work agilely in a team at eye level and also involve all our colleagues in active project work. As a project manager, you not only shape the processes, but also have an active influence on the results of our digitization projects.
Our work takes shape in different projects, which can be publicly funded research projects, customer-facing industry projects or internal development projects. Project management therefore plays an important role in our daily doing.
Our mission is to bring research to the streets and to make an impact on society and the working world of the future. To make this happen, you will work hand in hand with our colleagues to develop ideas and solutions, especially with a view to practice and potential users.
You establish contact with practical partners and potential customers early on in the development process in order to understand market needs, steer our projects in the right direction and provide important impetus. So that prototypes can become products, you act close to the market and bring our ideas from paper to the next new tech start-up with a certain amount of entrepreneurial spirit.
Creativity and a keen sense of communication characterize our colleagues in the Public Relations & Design Team. In cooperation with the project colleagues, you and the PR team support us in conveying complex topics of digitalization in an understandable way for business, press and politics and in bringing our #digitalDNA to the public. In addition to press and public relations, our social media presence, the production of videos, the planning of conferences and events, our dedicated colleagues are also responsible for the editing and production of our own magazine IM+io.
HR, Controlling & Administration
As part of our HR, Controlling & Admin team you are the “Safety Car” of the institute: We organize all important processes in the background and keep our colleagues’ backs free. Our start-up mentality not only prevails in our project business, but also affects our administrative areas: There are no well-trodden paths with us yet. We regularly develop ourselves further, question ourselves and also try to make our internal processes more efficient.
Our HR team is always on the lookout for talents and creative minds who want to shape and influence the digital future together with us. The controlling team takes care of efficient planning and management of our different areas at the institute and keeps the finances under control. Our administration team takes care of purchasing, among other tasks, and makes sure we don’t run out of sweets 😉
