Working Student Thermal Engineering (all genders) bei Vae...

Join our team as a Working Student in Thermal Engineering, where you will contribute to the development of innovative battery systems for aviation.

Generate geometric designs with Computer-Aided Design (CAD) for the volume and mass optimization of components for highly integrated battery systems within the wing of the VÆRIDION Microliner.
Design and analyse fluid systems, including pipe flow for thermal management of battery systems.
Conduct FEA and CFD studies (thermal, mechanical, electrical, thermomechanical, etc.) on various battery module components to find the optimum manufacturing, geometric, and/or material solutions.
Participate hands-on with the manufacturing and assembly of components for testing, prototypes, and demonstrators.
Prepare specimens for thermal runaway testing and interact with external machine shops, rapid prototyping, adhesive bonding, simple composite manufacturing, etc.
Interface directly with material suppliers, manufacturers, and testing partners.

Studying engineering in aerospace, mechanical, materials, or similar.
Conceptual-level knowledge of aircraft components and systems.
Experience with CAD software (e.g. Catia, SolidWorks, and/or Siemens NX).
Experience with programming for analysis and optimization (Matlab, Python, etc.).
Knowledge and experience in fluid mechanics and thermal systems.
Familiarity with CFD and CHT simulations.
Experience in pipe flow analysis and design.
Manufacturing interest and experience/knowledge of composites, metals & additive manufacturing (polymers and metals).
High level of self-reliance with the ability to work in a team as well as autonomously.
Target-oriented, driven work style with analytic problem-solving skills required.
English language working level proficiency is a must.

Be a part of an ambitious team determined to shape the future of aviation.
Enjoy flexible working hours: we believe in ownership and trust.
Subsidized EGYM Wellpass membership: your (mental) health is important for us.
Boost your professional as well as personal growth executing your own ideas and independent projects.
