Msc: Mechatronics/Mechanics/Physics Internship

Internship Opportunity: Development and Experimental Verification of a Simulink Control Model for an Ink Supply Subsystem

Company: Canon Production Printing

Are you ready to apply your technical knowledge in an internship to develop a crucial model system that elevates print quality to the next level? Do you want to work in a dynamic, multidisciplinary R&D environment during your internship where your independence and creativity can truly shine?

Your assignment

Challenge:
During your internship, you will be responsible for developing a comprehensive MATLAB Simulink/Simscape model for the control system of our ink supply subsystem. This model will be integral for optimizing product and control parameters and enhancing hardware selection. You will not only develop the model but also verify it through experimental setups.

Objectives:

1. Create a Simulink or Simscape model of the control system.
2. Verify the model using/extending an existing setup.
3. Test the model in a real-life environment.
4. Extend the model for future product iterations.

Your profile

You will be working in a dynamic, multidisciplinary project environment where independence and proactivity are highly valued. This 3-month internship is a great opportunity for you to experience working in a large Research and Development environment. You'll have the chance to demonstrate your ability to work independently while receiving support when needed, ensuring a balance between autonomy and collaboration.
