Thesis: Develop a method for the evaluation of high-precision eddy current sensors (m/f/d)

For over 75 years, the FOERSTER Group has been offering the decisive technological advance in the field of non-destructive material testing. A brand of world call that stands for reliability and innovation. The globally operating group of companies with headquarters in Reutlingen develops, produces and distributes test and measurement systems for the metal producing and processing industry, as well as for detection and magnetic field sensing. Final work: Develop a method for evaluating high-precision eddy current sensors (m/w/d) Bachelor | Master (m/w/d) Characteristics: 26-006 Design the measuring technology of tomorrow How can the quality of a sensor be assessed objectively? What properties influence measurement results? And how do you develop a standardized testing process? This is exactly what you're doing to the FOERSTER Group. Our eddy current sensors are used worldwide in the industry to test materials without destruction. In order for our systems to deliver the highest precision in the future, we want to raise the qualification of these sensors to a new level. You combine practical laboratory tests with data analysis, simulation and technical development.

Depending on the degree programme, you will work on the following topics: Development of a standardized method for the qualification of eddy current sensors Planning, execution and evaluation of measurement series in the laboratory Investigation of the influence of different sensor geometries and physical parameters Development of suitable indicators for objective evaluation of sensors Data analysis and modelling with Python Optional: Simulation and mathematical description of the sensor behavior Documentation of results and derivation of recommendations for future sensor developments

Studies in the field of electrical engineering, physics, mechatronics, mechanical engineering, computer science, mathematics or a comparable discipline Interest in measuring technology, sensor technology or experimental research First knowledge of Python or a comparable programming language Analytical thinking and a structured and independent way of working Joy in combining theoretical models with practical experiments

An attractive monthly remuneration during your final work Innovative perspectives: Work in a future-oriented, globally active company with fascinating technology spectrum A family operating climate: shared lunch in our operating restaurant, collegial team at eye level and a friendly, helpful team Lunch in our restaurant – every Friday “Family & Friends” Sustainable mobility: company parking with charging pillars for electric vehicles
