Electrical Engineering & System Integration Intern (m/f/d)

Responsibilities

• 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

Requirements

• 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

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.

WHO YOU ARE

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
• Our company's WG (upon availability)
