Enter the fascinating world of the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) and help shape the future through research and innovation! We offer an exciting and inspiring working environment driven by the expertise and curiosity of our 11,000 employees from 100 nations and our unique infrastructure. Together, we develop sustainable technologies and thus contribute to finding solutions to global challenges. Would you like to join us in addressing this major future challenge? Then this is your place!
For our Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics in Oberpfaffenhofen we are looking for a
Development of a Wireless Multi-Modal Human Machine Interface for Myographic Control
What to expect:
We invite you to join our Department of Mechatronic Systems for a master's thesis or working student position. Contribute to developing an advanced human-machine interface system, applying your knowledge to a practical, innovative project. This opportunity offers valuable hands-on experience in cutting-edge technology. Join us to engage in meaningful research with real-world applications.
We would like to conquer new grounds with you and offer you guidance through the exciting field of highly integrated sensors within human machine interfaces. Our scientific foundation is set, and we’re seeking motivated students to accelerate our project. The initial version of our high-density myographic sensor wristband has successfully shown its basic functionality. In order to advance further, we plan to make it fully portable and increase its Technology Readiness Level (TRL) for initial user studies.
Your tasks: As part of the next wristband iteration, you will:
-
test the current solution to identify flaws and derive requirements for the next version
-
design a fully integrated battery management system, including schematics and mechanical drafts
-
integrate a new wireless communication protocol using C code within the NXP programming environment
-
contribute to a new wristband design, with an advanced mechanical closure and wearable solutions
- hands-on experience in an electrical engineering project with real-world impact
- deep understanding of system design, addressing real-world challenges
- access to our scientific network within the field of human-machine interfaces
- participation in scientific writing and patenting, potentially as a co-author or in acknowledgments
Hands on private / university mechatronic projects are a big advantage in the hiring process!
What we expect from you:
- expertise in electrical Engineering (especially schematics)
- expertise in embedded systems (C or Arduino, with an interest in transitioning to C)
- expertise in system design (knowledge of system interfaces, structured system development)
- expertise in design (materials & mechanical CAD for housings and wearable parts; 3D printing experience) is an advantage
- ideally knowledge in human factors (interest in ergonomic and human-centered design approaches)
What we offer:
DLR stands for diversity, appreciation and equality for all people. We promote independent work and the individual development of our employees both personally and professionally. To this end, we offer numerous training and development opportunities. Equal opportunities are of particular importance to us, which is why we want to increase the proportion of women in science and management in particular. Applicants with severe disabilities will be given preference if they are qualified.
