Are you in?

Your role
Key responsibilities in your new role

• Focus on the Future & Parametrization: Development and advancement of an automated workflow for package optimization. This includes parametric CAD modeling with Autodesk Inventor to provide agile design variants for thermal and electrical analyses.
• Take Responsibility & Simulation: Performing detailed thermal and electrothermal FEM simulations using Ansys Mechanical. You will systematically investigate the influence of design parameters on the performance, heat distribution, and reliability of the components.
• Holistic Overview & Optimization: Application of advanced optimization methods using Ansys Optislang. You will link the parametric CAD side with simulation results to conduct automated optimization studies and identify the best design trade-offs.
• Expand your Horizons: Transferring the developed "Simulation-Optimization" workflow to various package types and scaling the methods to new product lines.
• Inform Your Colleagues: Documenting the methodology and results, as well as professionally presenting optimization achievements in regular meetings and reports.

Your profile
Qualifications and skills to help you succeed

• Study Field: Master's degree in a relevant field such as Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Mechatronics, or a related engineering discipline.
• Skills (CAD & FEM): Strong skills in parametric 3D modeling with Autodesk Inventor. Solid experience in performing thermal and electrothermal analyses using Ansys Mechanical.
• Optimization & Automation: Experience or a strong interest in applying optimization algorithms with Ansys Optislang (linking CAD parameters and FEM results). Good programming and scripting skills in Python to automate simulations or support data post-processing.
• Experience: Practical experience with FEM simulations in the context of thermo-mechanical or electrothermal problems is an advantage.
• Personality: Reliability, analytical thinking, ability to work in a team, and the capacity to communicate complex technical relationships in an understandable manner.
• Language Skills: Very good German or English language skills (written and spoken).
