On-site
ANYbotics is a fast-growing tech company dedicated to shaping the future of mobile robotics across multiple industries. Join our highly talented and motivated team of more than 190 people and work on cutting-edge robot technology.
The Opportunity
We are seeking a motivated intern to join our Mechatronics team for a six-month period, starting in June/July 2025. During this internship, you will work alongside a team of experienced professionals, gaining exposure to various aspects of our robotic systems and locomotion-specific functions.
Your primary responsibility will involve writing the software for a 1DOF (one degree-of-freedom) test bench for fatigue analysis of our electric motors. Utilizing the test bed hardware that is already in place at ANYbotics, you will design a user interface, configure inter-system communication for computers, motors, and sensors, develop motor motion controllers and ultimately commission the test bed.
Market & Our Technology
ANYbotics transforms industrial plants in the energy, process, and utility sector by introducing robotics to a wide range of novel applications that so far were beyond reach. Our customers are large asset operators and industrial service providers pioneering the use of robotics technology for inspection and maintenance. Our mobile robot ANYmal uses legs for extreme mobility in complex environments, camera- and LIDAR-based sensing for full autonomy and obstacle avoidance, and AI for high-quality and consistent inspection results. We develop numerous customized hardware systems, including the entire robotic platform, actuators, sensors, inspection payloads, charging systems, and all related ANYbotics mechanical hardware.
Your Contributions
- Work collaboratively with multi-disciplinary teams from hardware, software and testing department
- Write the software for a 1DOF test bench (communication, motor control and user interface)
- Develop and implement a range of motion and torque control profiles to mimic the loads occurring on the robot
- Assess the performance of the test bench and optimize control parameters
Your Profile
- Pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in mechanical, electrical, mechatronics or robotics engineering
- Experience in programming C, C++ and Python
- Hands on experience with mechatronic systems
- Basic understanding of electronics
- Ability to work autonomously in a team
- Excellent English communication skills, both verbal and written
Bonus Points
- Experience with SOEM (Simple Open EtherCAT Master)
- Familiar with ROS programming
- Experience with a PLC system
- Experience in using Linux and Git
3,000 CHF - 3,000 CHF a month
