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

Deine Mission

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

Dein Profil

• Enrolled in a Master’s or advanced Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, Mechatronics, or a related field
• Knowledge of space mechanisms, load-bearing structures and an interest in complex mechanical assemblies
• Familiarity with structural and thermal considerations, space mechanisms and space materials is expected
• Knowledge of space grade electrical and data connectors is a plus
• Good to have knowledge of relevant standards such as ECSS-E-ST-33-01C and ECSS-E-ST-32-10C
• Experience with the testing of space hardware is recommended
• Strong analytical and communication skills
• Proactive, structured approach, and able to work independently as well as in a team

Wir bieten

• Immediate and flexible start
• Flexible working hours
• Potential for a Master’s project and/or full-time employment afterwards
• Empowerment and independence, with mentoring and access to industry experts for academic success
• Subsidy for EGYM Wellpass and Deutschlandticket
• Complimentary beverages, company events, and professional development opportunities
