Thesis Research & Development - Digital Fastening Technology (m/f/d)

You work in the field of research and development with a focus on fastening technology at the Reinhold Würth Innovation Center CURIO. As part of your final work, you will research the state of the art around digital fastening technology, in particular sensor technology, measuring chains, LoRaWAN, data transmission and visualization. You select suitable sensors and evaluate them with regard to technical suitability, measurement quality, integration ability and cost-effectiveness. The selected sensor technology integrates you into an existing LoRaWAN network and accompany the technical implementation. You plan, organize and conduct laboratory and field tests to test measurement data, system behavior and radio transmission in a targeted manner. You then validate the measurement results and evaluate the reliability of sensor technology and data transmission under real conditions. Based on your analysis, you conduct technical insights and evaluate opportunities, limits, risks and scalability of the solution approach. A well-founded conclusion and concrete recommendations for action for the further development of digital fastening solutions complete your work. Optionally you prepare data and develop visualizations or dashboards for time series, status messages, alarms and evaluations.

You are studying mechatronics, electrical engineering and information technology, sensor technology, microsystem technology or a comparable course of study. Good knowledge in the field of mechanical and mechatronic systems will help you. Ideally, you have first experiences in programming, for example with C or C++ in the embedded environment or with Python for e.g. evaluations. Your interest in radio technologies, IoT topics and system integration is yours. A structured, independent way of working and a clean and comprehensible documentation are of course for you. You are very safe with MS Office and ideally have first touch points with MS Project. Very good German knowledge (C1) in word and writing complete your profile.

Your mission is rewarded. For a mandatory internship, you can expect 1,400 € gross per month. If you do a voluntary internship for four months or longer or write your thesis with us, you will receive € 2,420 gross per month. Stay active and healthy with our sports and relaxation courses - on site and online - as well as the use of over 10,000 sports and wellness facilities with the EGYM Wellpass, which is supported by the employer. In order to facilitate your start in a new environment, we offer - depending on availability - the possibility to live in one of our company apartments. Enjoy fresh regional dishes in a relaxed atmosphere every day in our excellent restaurant - your lunch is 50% off the employer. In addition, you can use our hot drinks for free. Our internship program ''GO WÜRTH'' stands for ''jointly orient'' and offers different modules each semester. At events such as ''HELLO NEWCOMER'' you have the opportunity to gain networking and cross-disciplinary insights. The most important word in dealing with us is DANKE. You expect a family and cordial coexistence in which you can develop your existing strengths and discover new ones. .
