Number: MER00041VQ Mercedes-Benz Group AG is one of the most successful automotive companies in the world. With Mercedes-Benz AG, the vehicle manufacturer is one of the largest providers of premium and luxury cars and vans. Within the Research and Development Department of Development eDrive, our team “Mechanik Antriebssysteme” is part of the Pre-Developing Drivetrain & Electro Drives department. We design, develop and test mechanical and mechatronic components and assemblies for future electrified drive trains (eATS). We work closely with internal structures such as simulation calculation, construction, workshops and test fields. In this context, we offer a graduate thesis in the field of testing mechanical efficiency improvement of electrical drives. Specifically, it is about the high-precision friction performance determination of eATS transmission stages under load on a component test stand. These challenges come to you: Introduction to the topic of friction performance measurement and clamping test bench Investigation and analysis of gear design in combination with different lubricants performing reproducible drag torque measurements at different boundary conditions Analysis of the measurement data and derivation of the delta consumption values for different hardware variants in a suitable cycle for a defined vehicle Cooperation in the planning and execution of the test series and independent evaluation, interpretation and documentation of the measurement results The activity can begin from June 2026. The final topics will be discussed with the university, you and us.
