WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
We're looking for a motivated Robot Simulation Intern (ideally 6 months, mandatory internship) to join our Robotics team in Schönaich (close to Stuttgart), with a flexible start date. If you're excited about building physics-accurate robot models and closing the loop between simulation and real hardware — this is where your work makes a direct impact on humanoid robot development.
HERES WHERE YOU MAKE AN IMPACT
-
Import and tune robot models for MuJoCo and Isaac Sim — making sure the simulated robot behaves as close to the physical one as possible
-
Build ROS2 simulator bridges, including ros2_control sim backends and topic bridging, to connect simulation and real-world control stacks
-
Calibrate contact and friction parameters against hardware measurements — the detail work that makes simulation physically meaningful rather than just visually convincing
-
Set up RL training environments using Stable Baselines3 or similar frameworks, enabling motion policy evaluation before hardware is available
WHO YOU ARE
-
Enrolled MSc student in Robotics, Computer Science, or Engineering — with a genuine interest in the intersection of simulation and physical systems
-
Strong Python skills, with working knowledge of C++ for performance-critical parts
-
You've worked with MuJoCo and/or Isaac Sim (Omniverse/USD) and know what it takes to get a model behaving realistically
-
Comfortable with ROS2 basics; experience with simROS2 integration is a plus
-
Familiar with RL fundamentals — enough to understand what a training environment needs to actually be useful
WHATS IN IT FOR YOU
-
Flexible working hours when life takes unexpected turns
-
Company support for gym memberships through Wellpass
-
Birthday vouchers
-
Drinks and coffee (free of charge, of course)
-
Snacks and fruit for all employees, as well as breakfast every Monday
-
Regular global team-building events such as boot camps, skiing, and summer BBQs
-
An international team with long-term prospects
-
Highly competent colleagues who are experts in their field and happy to support you in your learning and growth
-
Modern office space
-
