Tesis abiertas y prácticas
Formalmente supervisado, de tema abierto: tu trabajo termina en el prototipo, no en un estante.
Tesis o pasantía
Microcontroller programming
- Campo
- Electrical engineering, computer science
- lo que implica
- We use ESP32 chips to drive the wheelchair wheels, read the speed, run the user interface and tilt the seat.
- lo que aprenderás
- You will learn to work on firmware in an international team, see how firmware fits into a larger project, and gain experience with ESP32, CAN bus and 45-volt high-torque motors.
Pasantía
Construction and manufacturing
- Campo
- Mechanical engineering
- lo que implica
- The wheelchair is assembled from many milled aluminium parts, screws, tubes and plastic components. We need a second prototype for presentations and testing.
- lo que aprenderás
- You will learn how to assemble a wheelchair and manufacture its individual parts.
Pasantía
3D modelling
- Campo
- Design engineering
- lo que implica
- We create the 3D models for the load-bearing elements, the fasteners and the control elements.
- lo que aprenderás
- You will learn to build models in Fusion 360 and FreeCAD, 3D print them and prepare them for presentation.
Tesis
Continuous integration
- Campo
- Computer science
- lo que implica
- To guarantee quality and take our team and our products to the next level, we need automation across the board.
- lo que aprenderás
- You need prior programming knowledge, and will gain experience embedding automation into every area of a team that builds wheelchairs.
Tesis o pasantía
Process management
- Campo
- Industrial engineering, management
- lo que implica
- Our team has a stable core and a part that comes and goes. We need you so new people settle in quickly and their work makes it all the way into the product.
- lo que aprenderás
- Interested in management work but with little experience so far? Try it out with us.
Pasantía
