PhD - CFD Simulation and Modelling of Laser Processing Processes

Do you want to turn your ideas into useful and meaningful technologies? Whether in the area of Mobility Solutions, Consumer Goods, Industrial Technology or Energy and Building Technology - with us you improve the quality of life of people around the world. Welcome to Bosch. Robert Bosch GmbH is looking forward to your application!

Type of employment: Limited Working time: Full time Place of work: Renningen We are looking for a highly motivated and talented personality for a promotion to strengthen our research team at our research campus in Renningen. This is an excellent opportunity to work on state-of-the-art topics in a world-leading industrial research environment. You develop, implement and validate advanced, highly efficient digital process chains for laser beam welding of metallic components. The focus of your activity is the integration of process simulations, with the aim of sustainably increasing both production performance and product quality. The responsibility for the further development and application of modern models of numerical fluid mechanics (CFD) lies with you. With OpenFOAM or Flow‐3D you analyze laser beam welding processes in detail and gain sound, simulation-based insights. In addition, you integrate these highly developed CFD models into holistic digital process chains, creating the basis for predictive control and targeted optimization of welding parameters and strategies. Design, evaluate and drive innovations in laser beam welding actively on the basis of your simulation results. This makes a significant contribution to continuous process optimization and to solving real industrial issues. Your doctorate theme will be your own and content by publishing your research results in renowned, internationally reviewed journals and presenting them at relevant scientific conferences. You bring your expertise into close cooperation with industrial partners and leading research institutions.

Education: excellent university degree (master or diploma) in physics, mechanical engineering or comparable degree Experiences and know-how: profound experience with CFD simulations, especially using OpenFOAM or Flow3D solid understanding of material theory and numerical methods Knowledge of laser material processing, in particular laser welding of metallic materials safe handling of MS Office good programming knowledge (Python, C++ or comparable) first experience in using AI tools

Personality and working methods: You communicate complex research results clearly as well as address-oriented and work effectively both independently and in the team; Your tasks are structured and with a high level of responsibility Enthusiasm: You bring a strong enthusiasm for scientific research and the need to translate complex challenges into innovative solutions Languages: very good German and English in word and writing

Work-Life Balance: Flexible work in terms of time, location and work model. Health and Sports: Wide range of health and sports activities. Childcare: childcare services. Employee discounts: Advantages for employees. Free space for creative work: free space for creative work. Social counselling and care: Social counselling and brokerage services.
