For our Institute of Vehicle Concepts in Stuttgart we are looking for a

Digital methodology development for automotive component packaging

What to expect:

The content of this master thesis focuses on the digitalization of the vehicle design phase. Vehicles are a system of systems and are becoming increasingly complex due to the exponential technological growth, we are witnessing nowadays. Moreover, a variety of disciplines, such as aerodynamics, energy management, etc., are involved in the vehicle development, which makes it a multidisciplinary process. In order to make this development process more efficient and to support vehicle developers in better understanding the interactions between vehicle subsystems, we are aiming on digitizing and automating the vehicle development process. In this context, digital and AI-driven workflows (tool chains) play a decisive role. Within this framework, you can make your contribution by:

• digitizing the multidisciplinary vehicle design process by integrating software modules into an existing tool library
• using this tool library to automate the creation of vehicle layouts (arrangement of vehicle components)

What we expect from you:

• student from the field of automotive, mechanical, aerospace or similar engineering/scientific discipline
• good written and spoken English skills
• very good Python knowledge
• personal responsibility and commitment
• thorough, reliable and the ability to work independently

What we offer:

DLR stands for diversity, appreciation and equality for all people. We promote independent work and the individual development of our employees both personally and professionally. To this end, we offer numerous training and development opportunities. Equal opportunities are of particular importance to us, which is why we want to increase the proportion of women in science and management in particular. Applicants with severe disabilities will be given preference if they are qualified.
