Requirements

  • Enrolled MSc student in Robotics, Computer Science, or Mechatronics - ideally with some hands-on project or lab experience to draw from
  • Solid C++17 skills for system-level work, with Python for the scripts and tooling that keep development moving
  • You've worked with ROS2 hands-on - rclcpp, launch files, tf2 - and experience with ros2_control would put you a step ahead
  • You understand real-time concepts and are comfortable working close to hardware; EtherCAT basics are a bonus
  • You've modelled robots in URDF or xacro - even if it started as a university project

Additional Information

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FORWe're looking for a motivated Robot Software Integration Intern (ideally 6 months, mandatory internship) to join our Robotics team in Schönaich (close to Stuttgart), with a flexible start date. If you're passionate about bringing humanoid robots to life - from EtherCAT-based actuator interfaces to ROS2 control stacks - this is your chance to work on systems that are in production, not just in a lab. HERE'S WHERE YOU MAKE AN IMPACT - Develop and test ros2_control hardware interfaces for drives - the software layer that connects commands to physical actuator behaviour on real hardware - Build and tune URDF/xacro models for humanoid prototypes, providing the robot descriptions that drive both control and simulation - Implement and debug nodes for joint state and sensor data pipelines - keeping information flow between hardware and software clean and reliable - Support EtherCAT master bring-up and commissioning on hardware testbenches, helping new actuator configurations reach integration-ready state - Work closely with mechanical and electrical teams to make sure everything fits together - physically and in software
