Enter the fascinating world of the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt e. V.; DLR) and help shape the future through research and innovation! We offer an exciting and inspiring working environment driven by the expertise and curiosity of our 11,000 employees from 100 nations and our unique infrastructure. Together, we develop sustainable technologies and thus contribute to finding solutions to global challenges. Would you like to join us in addressing this major future challenge? Then this is your place!

Would you like to become part of our innovation-driven research team and help shape the future of lightweight system? We, the Institute of Lightweight Systems, develop and test new lightweight construction technologies for resource-saving and climate-friendly structures in the aerospace, transport, energy and security sectors. Our vision is intelligent lightweight system construction for an emission-free tomorrow.

 

What to expect
At the Innovation Centre for Small Aircraft Technologies in Würselen, DLR is researching technologies for electric flight and solutions for the aviation of tomorrow. In a motivated and young environment, you will help to research a high-rate manufacturing process for fibre composite hollow bodies. The focus is on the simulation of production tools made of shape memory polymers.

 

Your tasks

  • Familiarisation with the existing material and simulation model
  • Adaptation and extension of the simulation model
  • If necessary, support with tests to determine material characteristics
  • Carrying out tests for model validation if necessary

 

Your profile

  • current studies in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, lightweight construction or comparable
  • Above-average academic performance
  • High motivation and interest in working independently
  • Previous experience in the simulation of mechanical systems (preferably ANSYS Mechanical: static-structural)
  • Previous knowledge in the field of simulation of visco-elastic and visco-plastic materials
  • Previous experience with CAD software (preferably CATIA V5)

We offer

DLR stands for diversity, appreciation and equality for all people. We promote independent work and the individual development of our employees both personally and professionally. To this end, we offer numerous training and development opportunities. Equal opportunities are of particular importance to us, which is why we want to increase the proportion of women in science and management in particular.
