Internship: Soft Tactile Sensor Simulation & Sim-to-Real Engineering

MASTER’S THESIS/INTERNSHIP IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING – 2026 Bevaix (NE) Switzerland – 6 months Subject: Soft Tactile Sensor Simulation Sim-to-Real Engineering Project Description As an intern at Melexis, you will develop and optimize an advanced digital twin for our state-of-the-art soft tactile sensors, driving the pipeline from physical material behavior all the way to machine learning-ready deployments.

More specifically, you will: Contribute to the physics-based modeling and simulation of hyperelastic materials and magnetic interactions, bridging physical material characteristics with our digital environments to recreate real-world sensor behavior (such as our Tactaxis technology). Develop and implement a pipeline to generate synthetic datasets, leveraging domain randomization techniques.

Validate the simulation pipeline by conducting Sim-to-Real evaluations, comparing your synthetic data against physical lab tests and real-world sensor outputs to ensure high-fidelity ML training.
