Mechatronics technician training

Are you good at working with your hands, do you think logically and understand technical connections? Are you fascinated by electromechanical processes? Then you are well-suited to the mechatronics technician training program.

This is what a typical training day looks like

Mechatronics technicians assemble various assemblies and components

Creative minds will feel right at home. The mechatronics technician training program teaches you how electronic, mechanical and pneumatic components work and interact. You assemble various assemblies and components and perform the relevant adjustments. You also learn how to startup, service and maintain machines. In short, your training is demanding and extremely diverse.

The practical part of your mechatronics technician basic training is predominantly held at our plant in Graben-Neudorf. Some parts of the technical training is also held in Bruchsal. At the same time, your practical training will be supplemented by theoretical knowledge at the vocational school.

Every day is different

My name is Lena. I am completing my training as a mechatronics technician and am currently in my second year. After obtaining my secondary school leaving certificate I approached SEW-EURODRIVE and started my training. Ever since I was a child I have been inspired by the opportunities provided by technology and trades. I have never been able to imagine having an office job where I have to sit in front of the computer all day. I wanted to be able to move around, perform physical tasks and be able to see what I had achieved at the end of every day.
