Internship / Master's Thesis: Robotic Mechanisms (m/f/d)

As part of our Systems Engineering team in Munich, Germany, you will contribute to the development of robotic mechanisms. The role is focused on the early concept phase: surveying the available solutions, deriving concepts, and performing trade-offs, while also offering the opportunity for theoretical design work and hands-on involvement with complex hardware. We also offer the opportunity to convert the work into a Master’s thesis, with the exact topic tailored to the candidate’s interests and strengths.  

Your role will include:

• Assist in conceptual analysis and design trade-offs on robotic mechanisms
• Survey the state of the art in robotic mechanisms to establish what solutions are available
• Contribute to mechanical modeling and structural analysis, using CATIA V5 / 3DEXPERIENCE
• Contribute to the extension of internal Python-based tools used for mechanical design
• Conduct Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and thermal analysis
• Participate in the MAIT (Manufacturing, Assembly, Integration, and Testing) process
• Prepare documentation for the deliverables inside mechanisms-based projects
