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
You will be working as part of a current research project involving cellular structures based on triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS). These structures are characterized by their multifunctionality and high lightweight potential. Using additive manufacturing processes, TPMS structures can be produced tailored to specific applications. For use in aerospace components, a detailed analysis of their mechanical behavior is essential. You can look forward to exciting tasks in additive manufacturing using SLA and SLS processes, as well as experimental and numerical investigations of these innovative structures.

 

Your tasks

  • You will familiarize yourself with the topic of TPMS structures and their applications.

  • You will manufacture TPMS structures using additive processes such as SLA or SLS.

  • You will perform mechanical characterizations – both experimentally in the lab and through numerical simulations.

 

Your profile

  • Ongoing studies in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related field

  • Basic knowledge of Python and CAD design software

  • Independent, analytical, and research-oriented working style

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. Applicants with severe disabilities will be given preference if they are qualified.

We look forward to getting to know you!
