Intern – Control Algorithms Development for Power Tools (m/f/x)

This is the cutting edge of corporate innovation, where the pace is fast, fun, energetic and inspiring.

New mechatronic features that drive differentiation and productivity are often enabled by improved tool control. In this role, you’ll be right at the center of where new ideas come to life and are tested for the very first time, helping to evaluate, tune, and refine new approaches.
The start date is flexible depending on the student’s availability, with a preferred duration of 6 months or longer.

What You'll do

As an intern in our department, you’ll join a highly skilled and diverse team within Corporate Research. You will work closely with our experts on developing new mechatronic features for our power tools, supporting the entire development process from the initial idea all the way to implementation.
Depending on your interests and experience, you may develop and evaluate new model‐ and data‐based algorithms, set up and instrument prototypes, and test and refine your concepts on test rigs or directly in our labs.
We are continuously looking for ways to improve our products. That’s why you’ll also have the chance to contribute your own innovative ideas to our innovation pipeline and help elevate our power tools to the next level.

What You’ll Bring

• Enrollment in a Bachelor’s / Master’s program in control engineering (e.g., cybernetics, mechanical or electrical engineering with focus on control systems or a related discipline)
• Good knowledge and prior experience in programming and/or algorithm development in MATLAB/Simulink or similar
• Hands-on mentality in working with rapid control prototyping systems or embedded systems
• A proactive approach and self-reliant personality
• Fluency in spoken and written English or German
