Job Description

Wafer Grinding is an essential part of micro sensor production process. The primary motivation for modeling and simulating the Waver grinding process is to achieve a deeper scientific understanding and enhanced control over a highly complex and critical manufacturing step. By developing a predictive virtual model, we can move from an empirical, trial-and-error approach to a more efficient, science-based methodology.

• During your thesis, you will develop and implement novel simulation frameworks to tackle complex, real-world engineering challenges.
• Furthermore, you will combine Clifford algebra with the grinding process to generate model equations with a simple structure and direct applicability.
• You will optimize key process parameters such as grinding wheel specifications, feed rate, and depth of cut in a cost-effective virtual environment.
• In Addition, you will accurately predict undesirable effects such as surface damage, microcracks, and residual stresses and develop strategies to mitigate them.
• Lastly, you will make a significant contribution to shortening development times, minimizing costly physical experiments, and systematically increasing efficiency in the wafer grinding process.

Qualifications

• Education: Master studies in the field of Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics or comparable
• Experience and Knowledge:
  • strong programming proficiency in both Python and C++ or other C-derivatives
  • solid mathematical understanding as well as strong analytical skills, particularly in areas relevant to the thesis topic
  • demonstrable experience in modeling, whether through academic projects, internships, or personal projects, e.g., physical modeling, data-driven models, or system simulation
• Personality and Working Practice: you have the ability to work independently as well as in a team with a proactive mindset, and a passion for solving complex problems
• Work Routine: with us, you benefit from a hybrid model that enables you to work both in the office and remotely
• Languages: fluent in both English and German
