Internship Thermal Management Simulation 1D / 3D (f/m/d)
Work environment
Your ideas make the difference: In our team, you will develop innovative concepts as alternatives to the traditional heat pump to improve the system efficiency of thermal management. Efficient temperature control of the vehicle interior and battery system is essential for range and comfort. Together, we simulate these approaches and pave the way for their implementation in real test vehicles. Apply now and help shape the future of electric mobility with us!
Possible tasks within this Role
-
Supporting the development of various test scenarios and their simulation-based and measurement-based elaboration
-
Researching relevant literature
-
Performing thermal simulations in the overall vehicle context
-
Optional: Conducting 3D CFD simulations
-
Preparing and evaluating simulation data
Qualification requirements
-
Enrolled in a Bachelor’s or Master’s program (with at least 89 credit points) in natural sciences, automotive engineering, mechanical engineering, or comparable fields
-
Enjoy tackling constructive challenges
-
Experience with thermodynamic systems
-
Experience with design software (e.g., Pro/E Creo) is desirable
The following documents must be submitted with your application
- Curriculum Vitae
- Current certificate of enrolment
- Current transcript of records
- Work permit for non-EU citizens
- In case of a compulsory internship, a certificate from the university
Keywords
CFD analysis, computational fluid dynamics, thermodynamic modeling, e-mobility, battery cooling, system simulation, heat transfer, vehicle climate control, simulation software, energy efficiency
