Mechatronics Design Intern - Automation (m/f/d)

Your mission:
At sewts we automate what others can’t. Gripping of deformable materials like textiles is a task most humans see as intuitive and simple. However, this is a complicated task for robots as they lack the detailed and contextual understanding of where and with what level of sensitivity to handle these textiles. As deep-tech enthusiasts, we teach industrial robots human perception skills.

We are building a foundational technology stack called sewts.JUPITER. JUPITER uses genAI to simulate realistically the behavior of deformable & soft objects to create corresponding computer vision models and grabbing strategies. Based on our physical AI first time ever robots get enabled to handle soft & deformable materials. With over €10M in funding we will bring automation into all untapped industries, like cloth manufacturing, textiles handling, recycling & e-commerce.

You will make the difference! We have built a high-performance culture where efficient target achievement and consistent development is at the core of our company philosophy. We are working independently with ownership and a strong motivation to go the extra mile. We are setting our goals high, enjoying our daily challenges, while loving to share a laugh with our fellow team members. We are a diverse team, with many different nationalities, which values direct communication and open feedback.

How you will make an impact:

• Assist in the design and development of automation modules, applying mechatronics principles to create efficient and reliable systems;
• Collaborate  with the team to test  the process and design of the automation systems, collect and analyze data, and propose and execute improvements on the system based on your findings;
• Gain practical knowledge of sensors, actuators, Robotic, PLCs, and other components crucial to automation systems;
• Assist in creating engineering data , Mechanical or Electrical CAD drawings to support the development process;
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to solve complex automation engineering challenges.

Your working environment:  

• An international, dynamic team with flat hierarchies and direct communication;
