About this role

Your tasks

  • You will conduct fundamental scientific research (PhD) that makes a significant contribution to predicting the lifespan of metallic components and more.
  • In addition, you will develop Design of Experiments (DoE) models for the analysis and synthetic generation of virtual load collectives.
  • Furthermore, you will also research the question of how LLM-based multi-agent systems perform in the selection of input data for the simulation chain and how effectively multi-agent systems can serve as developers of tools for reliability simulations.
  • Also, you will implement data-based and AI/LLM approaches using Python code.
  • You will also develop methods to evaluate the quality of results / uncertainties and apply the methods to a demonstrator system.
  • Last but not least, you will implement an existing software platform.

Your profile

  • Education: above average degree in Mechanical Engineering, Applied Maths, Physics, Simulation Technology, Computer Science or Computational Science and Engineering
  • Experience and Knowledge:
    • advanced knowledge and experience in the development of simulation methods for engineering problems
    • good knowledge in the field of computational lifespan estimation of components and systems as well as in the areas of Design of Experiments (DoE) methods and AI agentic frameworks
    • Experience in data-based or hybrid modeling and implementation in Python program code as well as in the numerical implementation of models
  • Personality and Working Practice: your proactive and committed attitude makes you a valued team member; you never lose sight of your goals and you are comfortable presenting and speaking in front of others
  • Languages: very good in German and English
