Internship / Thesis: Robotic Sewing Cells, Design and Prototyping (m/f/d)

Robots can assemble cars, but they fail when it comes to T-shirts. Textiles slip, crease, stretch and bend. At ADOTC we build the robotic sewing cells that change this. In this role you design the hardware that makes fabric handleable for robots. An idea that starts on your screen today can be sewing on the robot just a few days later.

What you will do

• Design grippers, fixtures and assemblies for our robotic sewing cells in CAD
• Turn your designs into prototypes quickly, e.g. via 3D printing
• Test your prototypes directly on the machine and iterate
• Make existing components lighter, more robust and more cost-efficient
• Prepare designs for manufacturing

What you bring

• Current studies in mechanical engineering, mechatronics, robotics and automation, textile and clothing technology, industrial engineering or a related field
• Experience with a CAD system (e.g. SolidWorks, Inventor or Fusion 360)
• A passion for tinkering and building, and a hands-on mindset
• Good command of English or German

What we offer

• Work on industrial robots and sewing systems
• Results that matter: your designs flow directly into our next machine generation
• A cheerful, creative and dynamic team in which you can contribute your strengths from day one
• Early responsibility and room for your own ideas
