WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
We're looking for a motivated Electrical Engineering Intern (ideally 6 months, mandatory internship) to join our Hardware team in Schönaich (close to Stuttgart), with a flexible start date. If you're ready to get hands-on with wiring harnesses, power distribution, and PCB bring-up on a real humanoid robot prototype — this internship puts you right at the intersection of power electronics and functional safety.
HERE'S WHERE YOU MAKE AN IMPACT
Design and document wiring harnesses and cable routing for humanoid prototypes — the electrical backbone that connects every subsystem on the robot and has to survive real motion
Develop connector interface sheets and pin-out documentation, creating the reference material that keeps electrical integration unambiguous across mechanical and software teams
Support compute board evaluation — running signal integrity checks and analysing change requests to make sure the hardware revision is sound before it enters the build cycle
Design power distribution: supply rail sizing, protection circuitry, and cable derating — the work that ensures power reaches every component safely and reliably under real operating conditions
Conduct EMC and shielding review for EtherCAT and FSoE signal cabling, and manage the BOM for electrical assemblies throughout the project lifecycle
WHO YOU ARE
Enrolled BSc/MSc student in Electrical Engineering or Mechatronics — with hands-on experience that goes beyond lectures and simulation
Comfortable with schematic capture in KiCad or Altium — you've worked through real schematics before, not just read about them
Practical experience with cable harness design and connector selection, including the engineering judgment that comes from having made a choice and seen what happens
Solid understanding of power electronics basics — motor drive supply rails, protection circuits, cable sizing — and the consequences of getting them wrong
EtherCAT and differential signal basics are a plus; EMC and shielding awareness is genuinely appreciated on a robot platform where signal integrity directly affects safety-rated communication
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
