Mandatory internship in the field of machine vision

With its focus on future-relevant key technologies and the utilization of results in economy and industry, the Fraunhofer Society plays a central role in the innovation process. As a guide and source of inspiration for innovative developments and scientific excellence, it contributes to shaping our society and our future. For over 35 years, the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Systems and Design Technology in Berlin has stood for excellence in production science. We are dedicated to bridging the gap between science and practice in the field of industrial production and offer application-oriented system solutions for the entire spectrum of industrial tasks – from product development to the production process, maintenance of capital goods, and recycling of products to the design and management of factory operations.   The Machine Vision department draws on its many years of expertise in image processing and pattern recognition to develop new fields of application, particularly for mobile recognition systems and for automated, robot-assisted object reconstruction and quality inspection.   What you will do   During your internship, you will work on a research project involving fault detection on bipolar plates. The focus is on designing and setting up a test environment for inspecting the plates with line scan cameras. The setup includes optical components, a movable carrier, and a connection to a control system and a data evaluation unit. Your internship tasks will include the design, construction, and implementation of the test setup in collaboration with the project team.   What you bring to the table   You are enrolled in a technical degree program. You have good written and spoken German or English skills. You are a team player, but also enjoy working independently and in a structured manner.
