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 work on the evaluation of the flammability of battery vent gases during thermal runaway of lithium-ion batteries and contribute to the safety of battery systems
- You further develop an existing tool for calculating the ignition delay time and laminar burning velocity in Python/Cantera
- You evaluate the flammability of different exhaust gas compositions from measurements and literature
- You carry out sensitivity analyses and derive recommendations for exhaust gas measurement
- You document your progress and present it regularly in order to successively optimise your methodology
Qualification
- You are studying mechanical engineering, computational engineering science, chemistry (engineering), energy technology or similar
- You are interested in numerical simulation methods
- You have basic knowledge in chemical energy conversion and recognise the terms ignition delay time, laminar burning velocity and reaction mechanism
- You have programming experience in Python
- You are motivated to familiarise yourself with a complex topic and work independently, conscientiously and in a structured manner
