Key facts

Duration: 6 months
Where you work: At the company
Language needed: German and English
Subject you study: Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Automation Engineering, Vehicle Engineering, Electrical Engineering

In close cooperation with the team, you familiarize yourself with the existing automated packaging process and analyze the kinematic boundary conditions and load paths.
You take over the design, construction and mechatronic instrumentation of a "test dummy" that reproduces the mass and stiffness behavior of the brake control system.
To capture dynamic load peaks, you select suitable sensors and integrate and calibrate them in the measurement and test setup.
You commission the test stand at the robot cell independently, carry out systematic measurement series and vary the handling parameters.
After the tests, you evaluate the measurement data, determine critical acceleration and force limits and verify the dynamic load limits.
You derive concrete recommendations and develop the methodological basis for a standardized release procedure in robot handling.

Education: advanced Master's studies in mechatronics, mechanical engineering, automation engineering, vehicle engineering, electrical engineering or similar
Knowledge of sensor technology and measurement technology
Basic understanding of mechanics, vibration engineering and dynamics
Experience with acceleration sensors and data acquisition as well as in design (CAD) and practical prototype building is an advantage
Personality and working style: you impress with analytical thinking and an independent, structured approach
Daily work: your on-site presence is required
Enthusiasm: you enjoy experimental work directly at the interface to production
Languages: fluent German and English
A prerequisite for the thesis is enrollment at a university.

Attractive salaries and additional financial benefits, e.g. bonuses, individual performance pay, and private and company pension plans
Discounts: benefit portals with discounts and special conditions on Bosch products
Targeted talent development: training opportunities and diverse career paths
Flexible work models: job sharing, flexible shift systems, part-time options and sabbaticals
Health-promoting initiatives and preventive care, clubs, groups and networks
Mobility: Bosch shuttle or company bike, support for working from abroad
