Master's Thesis "Development of a real-time capable fuel cell system model"

Kirchheim/Teck-Nabern

Everyone's talking about sustainable energy - we're getting it on track.

We are a company with probably the most experienced employees in our technology field in the world. As a joint venture of Daimler Truck AG and the Volvo Group AB, we are responsible for all activities along the entire value chain for fuel cell systems: from research and development to production and marketing for use in trucks and other applications outside vehicles. The goal is to establish cellcentric as a leading global manufacturer of fuel cells, contributing to climate-neutral and sustainable transportation.

The Fuel Cell System Engineering team is responsible for the layout of the fuel cell system. Modeling the components and simulating the system characteristics is fundamental to defining the system concept.

Responsibilities:

You create a concept for deriving a real-time capable system model from a complex physical model;
You compare and evaluate different methods of model order reduction;
You develop a process with the associated scripts for model simplification;
You demonstrate the real-time capability of your model and evaluate the model quality;
Finally, you will summarize your results and the methods, processes and physical-mathematical relationships used in a final thesis.

Experience and Qualification:

You are studying an engineering degree program;
Ideally, you have basic knowledge of fuel cells and fuel cell systems;
You have had first contact with hardware-in-the-loop or system simulation;
Basic knowledge of the system simulation tools MATLB/Simulink or GT-Suite is an advantage, as well as programming experience in Python;
Your strengths include a complex understanding of systems and a keen interest in machine learning.

Benefits:

We offer you interesting, autonomous and varied activities with corresponding development prospects in a traditional company with a start-up mentality in one of the top future industries;
With us you can arrange your working hours flexibly and also work on a mobile basis;
Our restaurant provides you with soul food at a discounted price.

Additional information:

Proof of current enrollment in a degree program with outstanding exams is required.

The position will only be filled full-time for approximately 6 months.

If your heart beats for fuel cells and you are looking for exciting challenges in the field of sustainable and climate-neutral mobility, we look forward to receiving your application.

Please apply online only and include your resume, cover letter and references.

We are particularly pleased to receive applications from severely disabled persons and persons with equivalent disabilities.
