Number: MER0003UG0 In Group Research & Mercedes-Benz Cars Development (RD), we design the automotive generations of the future. We mean innovative products with the highest quality and efficient development processes. We accompany the change in technologies, products, services and services, supported by cross-functional teams in the company. In the Center Drive Systems e-Drive, we are responsible for e-drive development with specific equipment & infrastructure as part of e-drive testing at the Sindelfingen site. Topic of the Master's thesis: The securing process in the electrical drive assembly forms an essential pillar in achieving the end customer quality for Mercedes Benz vehicles. At the same time, testing is a strong focus due to its resource requirements in times of change in the automotive industry. The aim of this master thesis is the analysis of existing test processes and the comparison with the current state of the art. In the second step, the goal is to develop a “Next Generation Test Strategy” for electric drives, which uses the latest methods and findings in testing for the process in the field and thus maximizes the efficiency and effectiveness of testing. Detailed tasks: Test method: Identification of the state of the art with overarching testing standards (ASPICE, Req. Based Testing, etc...)

Process Analysis: Recording Status Quo of Testing Processes, Compensation with Extensive Testing Standards and Discharge of Short Potentials

Innovations: Identification of innovations in the environment of systemic testing taking into account current focus topics such as AI

Conception Next Gen Strategy: Holistic derivation of a next gen Test Strategy for electric drives (incl. definition target)

Application: Dissipation of concrete, operational needs for the subject area for further development of testing

Efficiency: Developing a long-term strategy to identify cost-saving potentials by optimizing testing processes
