Research assistant to help with electric design of WEDM machine

(IWF) at ETH Zurich is seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer with experience in Electrical Design to join our team. Our current project involves creating a custom Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) machine for basic experimental research, with the aim of implementing AI learning algorithms for process control. Wire EDM is a highly precise manufacturing process that involves using electrical sparks to cut through conductive materials. The nature of the process also leads to strong electromagnetic interference that requires special considerations and requirements during the machine assembly and grounding process. As the successful candidate, you will be responsible for formalizing the electrical diagram, writing documentation, assembling, and wiring the machine. The candidate will work closely with the project team to ensure the project is completed on time and within budget. In this role, you will have also the opportunity to work on the development of a custom electric pulse generator for Wire EDM, and there will be ample potential for career growth and development within the institute. The role is part-time, requiring a commitment of around 15 hours per week, offering flexibility to work on other projects and your studies. **Responsibilities:** - Formalize the electrical diagram for the custom Wire EDM machine using Electrical CAD software - Write clear and concise documentation for the electrical diagram and wire labeling for the machine - Assemble and wire the machine while ensuring electrical safety standards are met - Troubleshoot and debug any electrical issues that may arise during the assembly process - Work closely with the project team to ensure the project is completed on time and within budget - Collaborate with experts in the field to develop your skills and advance your career. **Requirements:** - Enrolled in a ETH Bachelor's degree or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Automation or a closely related field - Ability to work with electrical test equipment such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, and function generators - Strong knowledge of Electrical Design and experience with wiring and assembly of electrical systems while guaranteeing electrical safety - Familiarity with electrical CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD Electrical) for creating schematics, layouts, and manufacturing files - Strong attention to detail and ability to write clear and concise documentation - Ability to work independently and as part of a team - Strong technical skills and an interest in learning about new technologies and techniques - Excellent writing skills in English. As a successful candidate, you will have the opportunity to work with a dynamic and experienced team of experts in the field. If you meet the requirements and are interested in this opportunity, please send your CV, your trasncript of records and a cover letter to Eduardo Gonzalez (gonzalez@iwf.mavt.ethz.ch). If you have any questions or need more information about the position or the project, please feel free to email us. We would be happy to provide you with additional details to help you decide if this job is a good fit for you.
