MSc: Mechanical Engineering - Dynamic Modeling of Belt Systems in High-Tech Industrial Printers

Job Description

Are you an MSc Mechanical Engineering student looking for an exciting and impactful graduation assignment in the high-tech printing industry? Are you ready to push print quality to the next level by advancing the dynamic modeling of our next‑generation industrial printing systems? We are looking for you!

Your assignment

This project offers an exciting opportunity to develop a high-fidelity dynamic model of the belt handling system used in one of Canon Production Printing’s latest industrial printers. You’ll dive into the physics behind belt motion, identify gaps in existing models, and develop improved representations that push print quality to the next level.

Why is this exciting?

• You will work on a real industrial system used in high-end production printers.
• Your work can directly improve positioning accuracy and print consistency in next-gen printing systems.
• You will collaborate with experts at Canon Production Printing and gain exposure to advanced industrial R&D.

Your profile

• You are currently an MSc student in Mechanical Engineering at TU/e.
• You are interested in modelling dynamical systems and control, and you have a basic background in these fields.
• The assignment can start as soon as possible. From the start date, you are available for 7–9 months for a minimum of 5 days per week.
• You can work flexibly, either on-site at Canon Production Printing in Venlo or from TU/e, depending on the phase of the project and your needs.

What’s in it for you?

• A challenging assignment with skilled coaching
• Internship/graduation compensation of €500,- per month
• Travel cost compensation if you don’t have an ‘OV-weekcard’
• The possibility to network with professionals inside and outside your field of expertise, thanks to the diversity of disciplines you will work with
