Internship in Developing a Mechatronic Test Bench with Model-Based Control

Internship at ZEISS in Oberkochen developing a mechatronic test bench with model-based control. You will work on drive technology, sensors, embedded software and a MATLAB/Simulink model in medical technology.

• Select and commission a drive unit with torque sensors
• Select and commission a suitable evaluation board for motor control
• Implement and test embedded software on a microcontroller using Zephyr
• Integrate sensor signals from devices such as Hall sensors, encoders and torque sensors
• Control an electric drive using PWM signals
• Select and design the required power electronics using existing hardware concepts
• Build the mechanical and electrical parts of a single-axis test bench with torque sensors
• Define and implement interfaces between sensors, drive and controller
• Create a MATLAB/Simulink model to operate and control the system
• Support commissioning, analysis and improvement of the overall system

• Advanced studies in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Computer Engineering, Control Engineering or a comparable degree course
• Good knowledge of embedded systems, drive technology, power electronics or control engineering
• Some practical experience with microcontrollers and low-level software development, ideally with C/C++ and real-time operating systems such as Zephyr
• Knowledge of MATLAB/Simulink is an advantage
• Interest in developing, commissioning and improving mechatronic systems
• A structured, independent and responsible approach to work
• Enjoyment of hands-on development and independently solving technical problems
• Good German and English skills
