Doctorate in the field of durability insurance in cooperation with a university from June

Life is always about becoming... In life it is about going on a journey to become the best version of our future self. As we discover new things, we face challenges, master them and grow beyond us.

Apply to Mercedes-Benz and find the area where you can develop your talents individually. You will be supported by visionary colleagues who share your pioneering spirit. Joining us means becoming part of a global team whose goal is to build the most desirable cars in the world. Together for excellence.

Number: MER0003K0L The battery development center is responsible for the development of HV batteries in Mercedes-Benz AG. These include the pre-development of concepts with suitable cell and module technologies and their protection by prototypes and their test. The Reliability team also bundles all activities for the physical and digital protection of the electrochemical life of the battery system and is thus the central partner for degradation forecasts. We develop models to understand the complex processes within cells and to predict their impact on battery usability.

Your tasks include: Literature research on degradation of lithium-ion cells and their modelling Development of a physical life calculation concept in which several aging effects are simultaneously modeled Development of interfaces, cross dependencies and coupling of existing models in the overall model Analysis of sensitivity, uncertainties and complex interactions in resulting life forecasts Quantification, detection and validation of modeled cell-internal sizes with different methods Concept development for modeling and creating degradation forecasts for complex stress scenarios The doctoral project takes place in cooperation with a university. The final topics will be discussed with the university, you and us. Adjustment requirement is the support of the doctoral project by a university lecturer. The selection of a corresponding person is the responsibility of the doctoral student.
