Student Assistant (f/m/d) in the Field of Thermal Joining Technology (IGP-2026-13)

Here You Make a Difference Wind turbines are becoming larger, more powerful, and more demanding. For wind turbine towers and offshore structures to withstand extreme operational loads over decades, sound research is needed – this is exactly where you come in:

• Accompanying investigations into the fatigue of welded joints
• Design and fabrication of test setups and specimens
• Preparation, execution, and evaluation of experimental investigations in the field of thermal joining processes
• Conducting metallographic preparations and analyses as well as other mechanical-technological and chemical analyses

What You Bring

• Enrolled as a student (f/m/d) in the field of mechanical engineering, civil engineering, industrial engineering, or comparable
• Independent, conscientious working style as well as manual dexterity
• Interest in welding technology issues and application-oriented research
• Initial experience with CAD software (preferably Catia) and confident handling of Microsoft Office programs
• Teamwork, commitment, and motivation not only to learn theoretically but to conduct experimental investigations
