Robotics in the field of humanoid service robots aims to automate dangerous tasks.
To realise these highly sophisticated systems, integrated legs, arms, hands and upper bodies are being developed.
The development process encompasses the design, assembly, commissioning and comprehensive testing of the systems.

Your tasks

developing concepts for finger kinematics based on existing ideas
developing new concepts for finger kinematics
producing prototypes and implementing designs in CAD
setting up test benches and conducting tests
conducting literature research on current finger kinematics

Your profil

very good knowledge of gearboxes and robot kinematics
very good knowledge of design using CAD
good knowledge of prototyping (3D printing, etc.)
an independent, structured and committed approach to work

We offer

DLR stands for diversity, appreciation and equality for all people. We promote independent work and the individual development of our employees both personally and professionally. To this end, we offer numerous training and development opportunities.
