Internship Testing

ZEISS; Oberkochen; On-site; EUR 13,000 - 17,000; Full time

Job summary

ZEISS invites undergraduate or graduate students to join an internship focused on the analysis of thermal effects and flow phenomena in vacuum environments. You will perform experimental measurements of pressure and temperature distributions, support sensor calibration, and contribute to data evaluation methods.

Proficiency with MATLAB or Python is desirable, and a strong interest in thermal systems is expected.

Qualifications

• Ongoing studies in Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Mechatronics or comparable field.
• Strong interest in thermal systems, fluid mechanics, or vacuum technology.
• Independent and well-structured working style.
• Initial experience with experimental work is an advantage.

Responsibilities

• Investigate thermal effects as a function of pressure in vacuum conditions.
• Perform measurements of pressure and temperature distributions on experimental test setups.
• Analyze the interaction between inflowing gases and local temperature fields.
• Support the setup, calibration, and qualification of measurement systems (e.g. miniature pressure sensors).
• Assist with data acquisition and data analysis.
• Optional: Contribute to optical measurement techniques (e.g. BOS - Background-Oriented Schlieren method for flow visualization).
