This challenge awaits you:

The thermal management system in electric vehicles requires a complex design process due to the specific component requirements. In order to master the high number of degrees of freedom of this process, we are developing a design tool in the "Thermal System Development" team that automatically determines the hardware-side wiring of the individual components and the software-side operating strategy. We are looking for independent students with experience in vehicle modeling to further develop the tool.

Your Tasks:

• Familiarization with the existing tool with analysis of strengths and challenges
• Evaluation and further development of the methodological concept
• Extension of the simulation model to increase performance
• Plausibility check of the model with the help of real driving data
• Development and integration of new functions and a control strategy
• Cooperation in the automation of the tool

Necessary Skills:

• Ongoing studies in the field of automotive engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering or a comparable course of study
• Experienced in model-based modeling (e.g. in Matlab/Simulink, GT Suite)
• Knowledge in the field of thermal management of electric vehicles as well as optimization and artificial intelligence including initial programming experience desirable
• Independent way of working with a creative approach
• Good knowledge of German and English

Desired Skills:

• You work conscientiously and are motivated to learn 
• You are characterized by your communication skills and willingness to change
