What's the role?
We are looking for a motivated and self-driven individual to support us in shaping the future of Hilti!
Join our interdisciplinary and international Mechatronics development team in the Business Unit Measuring to develop simulations and algorithmic solutions to support innovation for our products portfolio.
Start date is flexible to the student availability; duration for at least 3 - 6 months
What does the role involve?
The business unit Measuring portfolio includes robotic total stations, range meters, rotating and line Lasers, and concrete scanners.
In this role, you will work closely with our R&D team to create a Simulink simulation of one of our latest localization solutions. This simulation will be validated by comparison with real prototypes. You will have the opportunity to apply your knowledge on control theory in a real-world example. Different control strategies will be explored, and the simulation needs to stand the test of reality.
What you need is:
- Master student in electronics, mechanical engineering, physics/mathematics, computer science, or similar
- Familiarity with Simulink
- Knowledge of digital control (Kalman filtering, PID, moving horizon) is a plus
- Hands-on experience with mechatronics systems is a plus
- Effective communication skills in English
- Proactive and self-reliant personality, with a strong willingness to explore hard topics
Does this sound like you? We look forward to your application! For further questions, please feel free to contact the hiring manager Thomas Gloor ( E-Mail schreiben ).
Why should you apply?
You will be at the link of academic research and product development. Your theoretical foundations from university will be highly appreciated and applied to product development.
Working in our international team exposes you to real world challenges encountered on job sites and your solutions can make construction better.
What do we offer?
We really value our people, and we've worked hard to develop a reward package that reflects this, creating your future to be just how you would want it. Some of our benefits include:
- Connection with a diverse community of over 2,100 colleagues from 70 nationalities in a region where Liechtenstein, Austria, and Switzerland intersect.
- Employee groups actively supporting causes like female empowerment and the LGBTQIA+ community.
- Leisure activities like mountain biking and tennis.
- Opportunities for community engagement both locally and internationally.
- Shared e-bikes, an on-site gym, dining options, learning opportunities, free parking, fuel discounts, meditation/ relaxation rooms, and Hilti tool rental service.
