What we do - and why!
Mobility connects people. People shape mobility. With 7,000 employees around the globe, we develop revolutionary and efficient drive systems, we cross-link vehicles with each other and their surroundings, and we strive to make our lives safer using intelligent systems. We need the right people at the right place to do so. People who turn visions into reality – who think outside the box and promote innovation. People who are ready to push the envelope. Are you ready?
Tasks
- You are involved in the further development of the 3D simulation approach (CFD) for simulating the particle flow during the thermal runaway of lithium-ion batteries and contribute to the safety of battery systems
- You develop a discrete element approach (DEM) for large particles
- You first test your approach in a surrogate model before integrating it into the existing model
- You define the required input for your model and suggest validation methods
- You document your progress and present it regularly in order to successively optimise your model
Qualification
- You are studying mechanical engineering, computational engineering science, energy technology, automotive engineering or similar
- You are interested in computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
- You have practical CFD experience and have ideally already worked with Star-CCM+
- You are motivated to familiarise yourself with a complex topic
- You work independently, diligently and in a structured manner
