Working student position in the field of shell engineering, materials, hardware & tolerance from October 2024

The "Body shell engineering, materials, hardware & tolerance" department is responsible for forming technology and the manufacturability of individual parts in the body shell, from pre-development to series production. By providing technological advice to the engineers responsible for design, we have a direct and early influence on the maturity of the products in the development process. In addition, the provision of body-in-white prototypes for series projects in the various development phases and the associated responsibility for budget and quality are also part of our remit.

The "Forming simulation and consulting aluminum/steel" team is responsible for new aluminum/steel materials and production technologies as well as ensuring the manufacturability of individual parts used in the body-in-white structure. We also design equipment for prototype production.

These are some of the challenges you will face:

• Planning and systematic implementation of parameter studies in the field of partial press hardening (tailored tempering)
• Carrying out tests for mechanical material characterization
• Carrying out and evaluating sheet metal forming simulations
• Preparing and processing the data collected and documenting the results

• Degree in mechanical engineering, materials engineering, production engineering or a comparable course of study
• Proficient in written and spoken German and English
• Confident handling of MS Office
• Commitment and ability to work in a team
• Analytical mindset and strategic way of working
• Preferably practical experience in the field of sheet metal forming, sheet metal forming simulation and knowledge of hot forming
• Ideally familiar with materials technology and statistical design of experiments (DoE)
