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: MER0003XZM In our department, semi-active and active spring/damper systems are developed, such as AIRMATIC and E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL. Our systems are used in all Mercedes-Benz top-class vehicles and offer unique driving comfort. Based on a model in Simscape, a new concept for an active wheel damper is to be investigated, with which the driving comfort is to be significantly improved compared to the state of the art: These challenges come to you: Embedding in a quarter model

Dimensioning of electric motor, ECU and gear

Creation of the controller concept and implementation in Simulink

Analysis on comfort routes and individual events (ply hole, floor wave, plate impact etc.)

Evaluation of dynamics, energy requirements, comfort potential

Documentation of results

Due to the complexity of the topic, a processing time of 6 months is required

The final topics will be discussed with the university, you and us. The activity can begin from March 2026.

Computer Science, Control Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mathematics or a comparable degree programme

Experiences in Matlab/Simulink and ideally in multibody simulation

Safe knowledge of German or English in word and writing

Safe handling of MS Office

Commitment and team skills

Analytical thinking and strategic working
