Precison Engineering (B.Eng.)
Finished your studies. What next? "Precision engineering" is high-precision mechanical engineering. And that's exactly what you're aiming for in your career. Let's take a look at a modern vehicle as an example: the mechanical engineers take care of the engine - you build the laser radar. Hey, but always work as a team! That's important.
You translate signals into precise movements. "Lift the robot gripper by 10 micrometres!" - Your servo motor makes it possible. An optical mirror has to be aligned with super precision. You know how to do it. In short: precision engineering is needed everywhere in modern industry and you are at home in many sectors.
Here is a small selection:
- Mechanical engineering - robotics, automotive, aerospace
- Modern manufacturing - 3D printing, Industry 4.0, laser processing
- Optical industry / photonics industry - cameras, microscopes, light manipulation
- Medical technology - measuring devices, tools, surgical robots
- Research institutes - development and construction of experiments
Professionally, a very broad field is open to you. Your main focus is precision engineering, but you can also have a say in optics, electronics and computer science and find your way around in an interdisciplinary team.
Your career opportunities
Your tasks:
- Design and develop new machine generations in close cooperation with internal experts from other departments.
- Design assemblies and systems according to specifications for series and special machines
- You are responsible for the design and dimensioning of drives and components.
- You carry out hazard analyses and risk assessments
- You develop test set-ups
- You prepare and carry out tests
Your tasks:
- Design and conceptual design of mechanical components, devices and systems with a focus on "Precision Engineering".
- Assembly and production support as well as documentation
Your tasks
- Development of innovative technical products and solutions
- Carrying out tests over the entire life cycle of the products
- Transfer of the developed products to series production
Your tasks:
- The entire range of tasks in mechanical engineering, but with a focus on high-precision systems, i.e. primarily converting signals into movements (actuators) or vice versa (sensors).
Your tasks:
- Integration of various individual technical systems (electronics, mechanics, optics, software) into a complete system - actually, every modern technical product is a "complete system".
- Very interdisciplinary task that requires a real team player
