Internship - Industrial Robotics Research ETH Zürich / inspire AG

The Industrial Robotics Group (IRZ) at ETH Zürich and inspire AG, is rapidly growing and focuses on pressing challenges in robot-based manufacturing.

Utilizing advanced computational methods, machine learning, modeling, and custom hard- and software, we continuously test our solutions in various real-world projects with industry.

We foster a culture of continuous improvement, transparency, and no BS, where facts, learnings, and results are of utmost importance.

We maintain our own state-of-the-art laboratory and are generally well-funded. Our goal is to develop the essential technologies and methodologies needed to create fully integrated, autonomous, and highly reliable systems for manufacturing.

We seek a dynamic and versatile intern with a robotics background and a hands-on attitude. The ideal candidate is keen to learn the intricacies of computational industrial robotics in a fast paced research environment.

Tasks

• Support the team by taking on side-quests in software, algorithms, and mechatronics.
• Taking over subtasks as a part of a team member in one of our research projects
• Maintaining and extending our infrastructure (sw and hw).
• Initiating your own project fitting your skills and interests.

Requirements

• A Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field from a renowned university, EPFL and ETH students are highly welcome.
• Mechanical- and Software-Engineering experience, demonstrated by a proven track record of successful (student) projects.
• Having taken part in a focus-project at DMAVT-ETHZ is a huge plus (highlight this in your CV).
• Demonstrable organizational skills and the ability to make decisions independently.
• Hands-on experience in Python and / or C++.

Benefits

• Deep insight into a broad range of topics
• Exposure to professional project management in a start-up atmosphere
• A culture of continuous improvement, transparency, and no BS.
• One-on-one mentoring by seasoned professionals.
• Highly motivated and driven colleagues.

Do you have a general understanding in all domains of robotics? Are you someone who is exceptionally well-organized and detail-oriented?

If you are resilient and excel in tackling complex challenges in a fast-paced research environment, we encourage you to have a look at IRZ’s webpage and apply for the position.

The Industrial Robotics Lab Zürich (IRZ) is a research group within the Advanced Manufacturing Lab (am z) at ETH Zurich, and inspire AG.

With broad expertise in both, computer science as well as mechanical and process engineering, we are in a unique position to tackle fundamental problems within robot based manufacturing with multidisciplinary and data-driven approaches.

Our well equipped lab enables us to quickly bring our ideas to the test.

Embedded in the scholarly environment of ETH Zurich and backed by Inspire's resources, network and industrial expertise, we regard it as our mission to bridge the gap between academia and the production line.
