• During your thesis you will conduct a holistic system analysis of modern mechatronic brake actuators, focusing on the interplay of housing design, sealing concept and manufacturing technology.
• Furthermore, you will examine mechatronic interfaces in the brake actuator in detail to derive design recommendations for a robust large-scale production.
• You will develop an agile design methodology that combines overall system requirements of the brake (such as control unit interfaces and housing fixations) with innovative sealing concepts.
• You will plan and carry out experimental investigations and evaluate them to analyze relevant influencing variables such as surface pretreatment (laser cleaning), material resistance under automotive environmental conditions and the filling and displacement behavior of sealing materials.
• You will derive design and process engineering recommendations based on your test results and document them precisely.
• Finally, you will compile the results into a structured design and process guideline that includes practical requirement and evaluation methods.

• Education: University studies in mechanical engineering, mechatronics, automotive engineering, electrical engineering or comparable
• Experience and know-how: confident use of MS Office (especially Excel, Word and PowerPoint); good technical understanding and creative as well as analytical thinking
• Personality and work style: you can communicate effectively in a team, complete tasks reliably and find independent solutions; you implement creative and analytical approaches in a structured way
• Daily work: Office presence required
• Languages: Negotiation-proficient German and English
