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 develop a simulation methodology to predict arcing in battery packs during thermal runaway and thus contribute to the safety of battery systems
- You will arry out literature research on simulation approaches for electric arcs
- You evaluate test data from clearance and creepage tests and derive correlations for your model
- You replicate the test setups in Star-CCM+ and implement your identified correlations
- You compare your simulation results with the measurement results and evaluate the modeling quality based on previously defined criteria
- You document your progress and present it regularly in order to successively optimize your models
Qualification
- You are studying mechanical engineering, automotive engineering, computational engineering science, energy technology, physics or similar
- You are interested in developing numerical simulation methods
- You have basic knowledge in experimental data evaluation with MATLAB
- You have simulation experience in Star-CCM+
- You are motivated to familiarize yourself with a complex topic and work independently, conscientiously and in a structured manner
