Thesis in the field of pre-development of battery cells from September 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: MER0003MKR Mercedes-Benz Group AG is one of the most successful automotive companies in the world. With Mercedes-Benz AG and Mercedes-Benz Cars, Mercedes-Benz Vans and Mercedes-Benz Mobility AG, the vehicle manufacturer is one of the largest and most successful providers of premium cars. 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 are already working on vehicles that will secure the technology leadership of Mercedes-Benz in the future. The battery development center is responsible for the development of HV batteries in Mercedes-Benz AG. In advance, these include the concept development with suitable cell and module technologies and their protection by design, prototypes and test methods. Our team Pre-development battery cell develops and tests new cell technologies in an early development phase. One focus is on the mechanical components of a battery cell which influence the properties and the cell behavior. In order to investigate the influence of current-carrying components in a battery cell on internal resistance and cell behavior, we offer a final thesis (Bachelor, Diplom, Master) in an exciting, interdisciplinary environment from September 2025. The focus of the task is: commissioning of a test bench for determining relevant electrical parameters Validation of the test bench (measuring capability) Definition and production of test specimens and structures which represent different parameters of influence on internal resistance Experimental implementation and evaluation of basic investigations deriving relationships from the experiments and linking with theoretical models Ideally, you have an engineering background with electrotechnical deepening. In addition, your university allows you to complete thesis in an industrial company. You will receive an interdisciplinary theme that can be independently edited. There are many ways to take responsibility and face new challenges. A team-wide collaboration with experts allows you to gain insights into the development and production of battery cells, to have an interdisciplinary exchange and to receive support for the implementation of your final work. The final topics will be discussed with the university, you and us.
