Job description

Company Description

Bosch Sensortec GmbH develops and markets key technologies in consumer electronics – micro-electro-mechanical sensors (MEMS), solutions and systems for smartphone applications, tablets, video game consoles, wearables, and the Internet of things. The sensors enable devices to recognize their surroundings and to transmit the data collected. MEMS are therefore part of the foundation for a networked world. Bosch Sensortec GmbH is a wholly owned subsidiary of Robert Bosch GmbH.
The Bosch Sensortec GmbH is looking forward to your application!

Job Description

• During your Internship, you will independently carry out sensor characterizations using established laboratory test setups with electrical readout.
• Furthermore, you will perform precise measurements, meticulously document experimental procedures and results, and actively contribute to the analysis and discussion of the data obtained.
• In addition, you will conduct robustness tests on optical components and play an active role in the continuous improvement of our characterization methods as well as laboratory processes.
• Lastly, depending on project requirements, you will also assist with optical characterization tasks, operate optical measurement setups, and align optical beam paths.

Qualifications

• Education: Master studies in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Microsystems Engineering, Physics, Optics, Photonics, or comparable
• Experience and Knowledge: strong interest in experimental laboratory work and the characterization of sensors; initial experience with electrical measurements and data analysis is an advantage; basic programming skills (e.g., Python, MATLAB, or LabVIEW); good proficiency in MS Office
