2. Prevention of unexpected functional failure through predictive self-monitoring (health management, self-diagnosis)

3. Strategies for comprehensive reliability testing and analysis with minimal effort

What you will do

• Literature research on the topic of power cycling testing methodology in general and on the working principle of the existing (self-developed) test bench that shall be extended towards MP testing.
• Development of a concept (with respect to the HW and the LabVIEW based SW) on how to adapt the test bench (goal: changing the load current value and duration from one cycle to the next cycle).
• Implementation of the developed test bench adaptation concept (main focus will be on SW adaptation).
• Conduction of MP based power cycling tests in order to verify the correct implementation of the new test method and to a gain first experience in MP testing.

What you bring to the table

• An open-minded nature, friendliness and experience in working with employees from different cultures
• Software required are LABVIEW compulsory, Python (not compulsory).
• English, German (not compulsory)

What you can expect

• We offer an attractive working environment in a highly innovative industry and in an international environment.
• You will work in a committed and motivated team, in which experienced experts and highly motivated junior staff support and strengthen each other.
• Working hours 33 per month for HIWI.
