About this role
Summer Semester 2027 - limited to 5-6 months YOUR TASKS: Analyze the theoretical principles of an approach to reduce compressed air consumption in pneumatic cylinders using standard pneumatic components and an intelligent control algorithm. Plan, design, and build a test setup to investigate the approach under defined operating conditions. Develop an algorithm that optimizes compressed air consumption during cylinder movement. Conduct experimental tests, analyze the results, and optimize the algorithm based on your findings. Evaluate and document the test results, deriving conclusions regarding the approach’s effectiveness and potential for further improvement. YOUR PROFILE: Enrolled in mechanical engineering, mechatronics, automation technology, electrical engineering, or a comparable field of study Solid understanding of pneumatics, control engineering, and automation technology Interest in algorithm development and practical implementation in test environments Enjoyment of hands-on work, including test setup, experimental testing, and measurement data analysis Independent and systematic working style, with strong analytical skills Initial experience with programming, measurement technology, or experimental testing is an advantage Contact: Sarah Disch
