PhD Student Lifetime Prediction Power Modules (f/m/d)
Work environment
Possible tasks within this role
- Modeling materials and joining technologies used in electronics with regard to material behavior and lifetime under thermal cycling conditions
- Planning, coordinating, and analyzing material tests for material and lifetime characterization
- Performing thermomechanical FEM simulations of power modules along the manufacturing process chain and during operation
- Validating and further developing simulation models through model updating
- Automating thermomechanical simulation workflows
The final doctoral topic is defined together with the professor. The prerequisite for the cooperation is the confirmation of supervision as well as a confirmed delimitation of topics by the professor of a university or research institution entitled to confer a doctorate.
Qualification requirements
- Good to very good university degree qualifying for doctoral studies in mechanical engineering, civil engineering, technomathematics, or comparable field of study
- Knowledge of material modelling, material testing methods, finite element method, and a commercial FE software (Abaqus is desirable)
- Good to very good programming skills (Python is desirable)
- Knowledge and interest in virtual development and simulation-based testing
- Analytical, solution-oriented, and structured approach to work
- German or English language level C1
The following documents must be submitted with your application
- Curriculum Vitae
- Current transcript of records / master's certificate
Keywords
Power modules, simulation, thermomechanics, material modeling, lifetime, automatization
What we offer
- Attractive salary & 30 vacation days (+ 24.12. and 31.12. off)
- 35-hour week, flexible working hours, remote work
- Special conditions for the purchase and leasing of vehicles
- Free seminars on scientific work and interdisciplinary qualifications
- Participation in the doctoral network for scientific exchange with science representatives and other doctoral candidates within the Volkswagen Group
The gross monthly salary for this position, based on a 35-hour workweek and scaled according to the respective year of employment, is €3,030 (1st year), €3,194 (2nd year), and €3,497 (3rd year). In addition, there is a monthly allowance of €167 as well as a 49% share of the variable bonus.
