Jobbeschreibung

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We'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

WHO YOU ARE

• 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

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU

• Flexible working hours when life takes unexpected turns

• Company support for gym memberships through Wellpass

• Birthday vouchers

• Drinks and coffee (free of charge, of course)

• Snacks and fruit for all employees, as well as breakfast every Monday

• Regular global team‑building events such as boot camps, skiing, and summer BBQs

• An international team with long‑term prospects

• Highly competent colleagues who are experts in their field and happy to support you in your learning and growth

• Modern office space

• Our company's WG (upon availability)
