Jobbeschreibung

Advertisement for the field of study such as: automation technology, electrical engineering, computer science, cybernetics, software design, software engineering, technical computer science, technology management, industrial engineering or comparable.

Intrinsic Flowstate (https://www.intrinsic.ai/flowstate) is an intuitive web-based software development environment designed for creating, simulating, and deploying applications for industrial robots. Our "robot hands" project team utilizes Flowstate to develop robotic applications focused on machine loading and unloading processes. This includes building a digital twin of the robot cell, integrating new hardware components and controllers into Flowstate, and designing the desired process flow using both the robotic skills provided by Flowstate and custom-developed skills.

What you will do

• Integrate a 5-finger robotic hand into Flowstate: Create a simulation model and develop a user interface for configuring the robotic hand within Flowstate. Implement and deploy a hardware control service for executing joint and force commands.
• Fine-tune and optimize the application for machine unloading.
• Validate the application on both the digital twin and the physical robot cell.

What you bring to the table

• Enrolled student at a German University/Hochschule with a background in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Autonomous Systems, or a related field.
• Very good English language skills
• Programming skills in Python, C++ and C.
• Familiarity with ROS2 and implementing ROS nodes.
• Experience in implementing RS485 serial communication is a plus.
• Independent, responsible and structured working style.

What you can expect

• Pleasant working atmosphere.
• Interesting and industry-relevant tasks.
• A dynamic, interdisciplinary team.
• Insights into the future topic of automation.
• Good technical equipment.

We value and promote the diversity of our employees' skills and therefore welcome all applications - regardless of age, gender, nationality, ethnic and social origin, religion, ideology, disability, sexual orientation and identity. Severely disabled persons are given preference in the event of equal suitability.

With its focus on developing key technologies that are vital for the future and enabling the commercial utilization of this work by business and industry, Fraunhofer plays a central role in the innovation process. As a pioneer and catalyst for groundbreaking developments and scientific excellence, Fraunhofer helps shape society now and in the future.
