Master Thesis Data-Driven Microstructure-Bases Material Modelling

To strengthen our team in München we are looking for a/an Master Thesis Data-Driven Microstructure-Bases Material Modelling (f/m/x)

Our brands BMW, MINI, Rolls-Royce and BMW Motorrad have made us one of the world's leading premium manufacturer of cars and motorcycles as well as provider of premium financial and mobility services.

THE BEST INTERNSHIP IN THEORY - AND IN PRACTICE.

SHARE YOUR PASSION.

World-leading technologies don't make it into a BMW until they've undergone one of the most challenging journeys imaginable. It takes dynamic teams with outstanding technical skills to take them from the drawing board to the road. That's why our experts will treat you as part of the team from day one, encourage you to bring your own ideas to the table - and give you the opportunity to really show what you can do.

Our team at the BMW Group is dedicated to advancing data-based material modelling for innovative vehicle development. We focus on integrating new material models into full-vehicle simulations and offer you the opportunity to support our simulation experts in the field of battery-powered vehicles with your thesis.

What awaits you?

• You will support the implementation of a data-based material model based on microstructure models.
• Furthermore, you help to create an LS-Dyna user material for polymer foams.
• In addition, you contribute to the comparison and correlation of test and simulation results.
• Moreover, you will gain insight into the process setup for introducing data-based material models in LS-Dyna for complete vehicle simulation.
• You will receive excellent scientific support and be part of our motivated, cross-functional team.

Please note that your thesis must be supervised by a university on your part.

What should you bring along?

• Studies in mechanical engineering, materials science, physics or a comparable field.
• Deep understanding of the finite element method, ideally with LS-Dyna experience.
• Ideally, knowledge in data-driven material models.
• Programming skills in Python or Matlab.
• Courage and motivation to contribute your own ideas and explore new paths.
• Enjoyment of supporting an international team.
• Very good English skills; proficiency in German is a plus.
