Working student (m/f/d) in the field of MEFA component characterization

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 team R&D and PD MEFA is responsible for the end to end process of the Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA/MEFA): material specifications, component geometry, manufacturing process development, and validation of experimental principle components. 

That is why we are looking for you! If you are excited about materials characterization, measurement technology and data‑driven work, we look forward to your application!

Responsibilities: 
•    Support the adaptation and development of characterization methods, incl. measurement routines on coordinate measuring machines and leakage test fixture design.
•    Perform measurements and characterizations on experimental MEFA principle components, such as: 
o    Mechanical testing (tensile tests) 
o    Materialographic preparation & microscopy Imaging techniques 
o    Leakage testing 
o    Thickness measurements 
o    Sample preparation for SEM analysis 
o    Chemical analysis (FTIR, Photo DSC etc.) 
•    Prepare, structure and analyze measurement data and contribute to presentations and technical reports.
•    Collaborate closely with process development and simulation to embed your results into material and process models.

Required Skills/Experience:
•    Ongoing studies in engineering or natural sciences (materials science, mechanical engineering, physics, chemistry, etc.). 
•    Confident handling of MS Office. 
•    Preferably first experience in materials testing, microscopy, or laboratory analytics. 
•    Independent, structured, and analytical working style. 
•    Good German and English skills.

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.
