Mechatronics Engineer with Cross-Domain Expertise

Disclaimer: To avoid spelling and translation errors, this text was translated into English with the assistance of Claude AI. The content itself was written independently.Hello! I'm Simon Eifler, a Mechatronics student in my Master's program at the Berliner Hochschule für Technik (BHT). For almost three years, I have been working as a working student at BSH Home Appliances Group in the Laundry Care product development division – gaining insight into the complete product lifecycle, from initial concept to series production.

My role at BSH is strongly shaped by project coordination. Close collaboration with component owners across various departments provides continuous insight into the entire development chain – from requirements definition through to testing and validation.

I am currently looking for a company where I can write my Master's thesis and subsequently transition into my first full-time position. The thesis as a focused deep-dive into the respective field allows for a structured onboarding – a genuine benefit for both sides.

The Mechatronics degree combines three core disciplines – mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science – supplemented by elective modules such as optical technologies and, currently, microsystems technology (semiconductors, thin-film processes), as well as cross-disciplinary methods like project management. The curriculum covers every field required for the development of a mechatronic system.

While the Bachelor's degree established broad fundamentals, the Master's program currently focuses on object-oriented programming – primarily using STM microcontrollers – as well as system simulations in MATLAB/Simulink, applied in various projects, particularly in the context of control engineering and robotics.

Computer Aided Engineering accompanies the program in a wide variety of forms. CAD with PTC Creo is the primary tool of choice, while others such as CFD and EDA are also covered. Working with FDM/FFF and SLA 3D printers, as well as the specification and selection of electronic components, are integral parts of the curriculum.

A more detailed first impression can be found in the skills overview and on my LinkedIn profile – including further information on tools, methods and experience. Study documentation will be linked here soon.
