Research assistant - 1st qualification period (PhD candidate)

part-time employment may be possible

Your responsibility

Research and education in innovative battery-electric drive concepts, with a focus on new cell chemistries, battery formats, electric machines, gearbox designs, as well as their thermal management and safety concepts
Planning and execution of research projects
The research includes experimental and simulation-based studies. Based on personal interests/competencies and the nature of the project the focus can be adjusted
Model-based investigations vary in abstraction level (0D, 1D, 3D) depending on the project and can be conducted using tools such as MATLAB Simulink, GT-SUITE/GT-AutoLion, COMSOL Multiphysics, Ansys Fluent, Siemens StarCCM+, or E-Machine Design
Publication of scientific results in international peer-reviewed journals and presentation at scientific conferences
Supervision of student theses and project work
Preparation and conduction of practical exercise
Review and correction of homework assignments and written exams

Your profile

Successfully completed university degree in engineering (Master, Diplom or equivalent).
Ability to teach in German and/or English; willingness to acquire any missing language skills
Independent, proactive, and team-oriented working style with strong communication skills desirable
Experience in one or both of the following areas:

1. Simulation of electric drives and energy systems using tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, Simscape, GT-SUITE / GT-AutoLion, Star-CCM+, or Siemens E-Machine Design

2. Experimental investigations in battery technology, power electronics, or electric machines.

Experience with CAD design software (e.g., Siemens NX, SolidWorks) is desirable
Experience with measurement and data analysis tools (e.g., INCA, LabVIEW, Excel, Uniplot, MATLAB) is desirable
