Internship in the field of development and simulation of plug-in hybrid vehicles from April 2025

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: MER0003JXE The plug-in hybrid vehicles (EQ Power) represent a significant contribution to an ever more efficient and sustainable mobility at Mercedes-Benz. They combine a purely electric driving experience on daily swing routes with an efficient internal combustion engine ride on longer journeys. Due to their complexity, the development of electrified drive trains represents a particular challenge, which combines many exciting topics from the field of electromobility with those of conventional drive. As part of this internship, you will get insights into the innovative technology of the electric drive with high-voltage batteries as well as into the classic internal combustion engine drive. They work with us on the operating strategy team, which essentially takes care of the functional development of the operating strategy software in the vehicle and is responsible for the application and release in the Mercedes hybrid vehicles. We are a motivated team supported for years by interns, graduates and doctoral students. In this compilation we combine scientific research topics with practical series development and use both prototype vehicles, (roller) test stands and the possibilities of simulation tools. These challenges include: Development of vehicle longitudinal dynamic simulation models Implementation of simulation calculations and comparison with vehicle measurements of test carriers Implementation of simulation calculations using Matlab/Simulink and software-in-the-loop Analysis of simulation results & Building an automated analysis logic Investigations on the Energy Management Strategy of Plug-In Hybrid Vehicles Identification of optimization potentials of the operating strategy to improve drive efficiency
