WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR We’re looking for a motivated Validation & Testing Intern (ideally 6 months, mandatory internship) to join our Validation & Testing team in Schönaich (close to Stuttgart), with a flexible start date. If you want to see how real motion control systems perform outside of simulation — from encoder accuracy to model-based control algorithms on rapid prototyping hardware — this internship puts you right at the heart of our development process. HERE'S WHERE YOU MAKE AN IMPACT Perform performance validation and quality control of integrated encoder systems — the measurements that tell us whether a product delivers the precision it promises Design, build, and operate testbenches for hardware and control algorithm validation, creating the setups that turn open questions into reliable data Validate model-based control algorithms in simulation and on hardware using rapid control prototyping systems (e.g., Speedgoat), closing the gap between model and real-world behaviour Support motion control feature development and system-level product validation — making sure new functions work as intended before they reach customers Analyse test data and document results clearly, p
