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
Who is Hilti?
At Hilti, we are a passionate global team committed to making construction better. As a trusted partner for productivity, safety, and sustainability, we provide our customers innovative solutions that impact the buildings, roads, and infrastructure people rely on every day. Hilti is where individuals grow lasting careers by exploring possibilities, maximizing their potential, owning their development, and making a real difference every day.
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.
