Student (m/f/d): Characterise a nanopositioning system

During your studies, you can contribute to our ongoing research projects. Join us in pushing the limits of what is technically feasible and be part of breaking new ground together. We offer a variety of challenging and practice-oriented topics for mandatory internships, Bachelor’s or Master’s theses or for student research assistants. You will analyse important scientific preliminary questions and support the project teams with development activities.

Place of work: Ilmenau

Team: Mechatronics

Career level:Mandatory Internship, Thesis or Student Research Assistant

Research field: Magnetic 6D-direct drives with nanometre precision

Time scope: at least 3 months

Start: As soon as possible

Application deadline: 2025-12-31

Reference number: IMMS_STUD_MECH_0523

The task is to plan and carry out systematic experiments on an existing nanopositioning system in order to characterise the positioning performance. After introduction to the handling and operation of the positioning system (dSpace, MATLAB® / Simulink®), the measurements are to be implemented and carried out using the existing control hardware and software, if necessary selectively supplemented by own Matlab scripts. The measurements are also evaluated in MATLAB®.

WHAT TO DO:

• Introduction to the handling of the experiments
• Planning, implementation, evaluation of the experiments
• Documentation
  
  

WHAT TO BRING WITH YOU:

• Basic knowledge of MATLAB®, drive design
  
  

AND THIS IS US:

We strengthen enterprises with application-oriented research and development in microelectronics, systems engineering and mechatronics and transfer the results of basic research into applications and products. We support companies in launching internationally successful innovations for health, the environment and industry and provide solutions from the feasibility study to series production.
