# Embedded Systems Working Student

- **Company:** Cartken
- **Location:** München, Germany
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Altium Designer, C++ (Programming Language), Computer Programming, Electronic Design Automation, Firmware, Rapid Prototyping Process, Robotic Automation Software, Schematic Capture
- **Published:** July 22, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.adzuna.de/details/5727328537

## About the Role

* You are currently studying Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Embedded Systems, or a related field.
 * You aren't afraid to pick up a soldering iron or a multimeter; you enjoy the "physical" side of engineering.
 * Familiarity with PCB design tools (e.g., KiCad, Altium)
 * Optionally you have experience in programming in C++
 * You enjoy the "detective work" involved in troubleshooting complex robotic systems.
 * Availability of 20 hours per week

## Description

In this role, you will be the bridge between our high-level software and the physical robot. You will work on a diverse range of tasks that span the entire lifecycle of embedded systems-from initial design and prototyping to troubleshooting hardware in the field.
More specifically, you'll:

 * Bring Hardware to Life: Participate in the bring-up, testing, and validation of new equipment and sensor modules.
 * Hands-on Prototyping: Design custom cables and physically produce samples/harnesses to iterate on hardware designs.
 * PCB Design: Contribute to the schematic capture and layout of printed circuit boards that power our next-gen robots.
 * Troubleshooting: Perform root-cause analysis and "first-aid" on robots to identify and fix electronic or mechanical failures.
 * Firmware Development: Assist in designing and implementing firmware that allows our robots to interact reliably with their environment.
