Mechatronics Development Engineer focusing on control application and rapid prototyping

In your role as a Mechatronics Development Engineer control application and rapid prototyping, you will improve exisiting control algorithms with respect to specific applications. You will also be responsible for verification of control algorithms in rapid prototyping tests working closely with our control engineers and algorithm designers.

• You will model, simulate and analyze highly complex mechatronic systems and independently improve and evaluate control algorithms for rapid and extremely precise positioning of precision mechanical components.
• You will be part of an interdisciplinary team with close contact to our external customers to ensure the required performance is met by our optical systems. To do this, you will ensure the implementation and testing of prototypes and evaluate the results.

• Several years of professional experience and/or a doctorate following an excellent university degree in mechanical engineering (specializing in control engineering), mechatronics, electrical engineering, engineering cybernetics or a comparable discipline.
• In-depth knowledge of control design (frequency- and time-domain methods, advanced control loops) and the dynamic analysis of mechanical systems (multibody simulation, FEM, structural dynamics, modeling methods), experience in validating dynamic models, and very good MATLAB skills.
• Ideally, knowledge of related disciplines such as actuators/sensors, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, technical optics and systems engineering.
• An independent and systematic way of working, very good organizational and communication skills, and strong sense of ownership.
• Enthusiasm for working as part of an interdisciplinary team in a highly dynamic environment, together with a high level of commitment and motivation.
• Very good written and spoken German and English.
