Subject you study: Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Technical Cybernetics, Natural Sciences, Engineering Sciences

Familiarization with the mechatronic concept of the single-wheel chassis and the functioning of the existing test bench
Review and understanding of existing hardware, electrical components, wiring diagrams, and existing MATLAB/Simulink model
Familiarization with the dSPACE hardware and software environment and its use for real-time applications
Support with hardware integration and wiring of the test bench as well as commissioning of individual system components
Migration, adaptation, and implementation of existing software and control functions in the new dSPACE environment
Analysis, commissioning, and debugging of signal transmission and communication between system components – from bit/byte level to complete system function
Extensive validation and systematic troubleshooting for the gradual commissioning of the overall test bench

Ongoing scientific university studies in electrical engineering, mechatronics, mechanical engineering, technical cybernetics, or similar natural and engineering science programs
Interest in electric drive systems, control engineering, and modeling of mechatronic systems
Basic knowledge in system dynamic modeling, control engineering, and simulation in Matlab/Simulink
Basic knowledge in dSPACE or experience with comparable real-time and test bench systems
First experiences in model-based development or handling of real-time systems
Analytical and structured work approach as well as the ability to independently work out complex technical relationships
Own initiative, willingness to learn, and a solution-oriented work approach – especially in systematic troubleshooting and iterative development processes

DLR stands for diversity, appreciation, and equality for all people. We promote independent work and the individual development of our employees in their personal and professional environment. For this, our numerous further education and training opportunities are available. Equal opportunity is a special concern for us; we therefore aim to increase the proportion of women in science and leadership. Applications from severely disabled persons are given preference in case of professional suitability.
