Key facts

Duration: 6 months; Fixed-term thesis
Where you work: At the company
Language needed: German and English
Subject you study: Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Automotive Engineering, Electrical Engineering

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

Attractive salaries and financial additional benefits such as bonuses, individual performance pay, private and company pension schemes
Discounts on Bosch products and via benefit portals
Extensive development opportunities: first-class training options and diverse career paths
Flexible working models: job sharing, flexible shift systems, part-time options, sabbaticals
Health-promoting initiatives, preventive care offers, clubs and networks
Mobility support: Bosch shuttle, job bike, support for stays abroad
Overview of all benefits
