Intern Transmission and E-Motor Calculation (Compulsory Internship)

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: MER0003ZPJ About us: Do you burn for innovation, love cracking complex problems and not just looking, but actively shaping them? Perfect! With us, one of the world's leading companies in the automotive industry, an internship awaits you and encourages you. And the best thing: you work on tomorrow's drive technologies and meet team spirit, creative innovations and a strong commitment to sustainability and top quality. In our team at the Center Drivetrain & Electric Drives we evaluate transmissions and electric motors based on our digital prototypes. These enable us to speed up development cycles and reduce costs, which means that our calculation department is constantly gaining strategic importance – an attractive and forward-looking work area where you can gain valuable experience. What you expect: Immerse yourself in the world of simulation and calculation! You will be part of a motivated team of around 12 experts in the area of component calculation, including designated gear and bearing specialists. With passion, team spirit and know-how, we analyze the stiffness, strength, service life and cooling of drive systems. To do this, we create models of drive systems using the most modern CAE software, always taking into account sophisticated multiphysical load scenarios. Our techniques are based on finite element methods (FEM), Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), 1D simulation and analytical approaches. In addition, we develop our own tools and increasingly rely on artificial intelligence (AI) for efficient optimization and automation solutions. Based on our calculation results, close comparison with test results and competitive analysis are also key components for success. Your tasks: You will be actively integrated into our daily business and get comprehensive insights into the challenging activities of our team

In addition, you will take over an exciting own project in the area of component and system calculation, where you can apply and deepen your theoretical knowledge in a practical manner.

The FEM-based modeling and simulation, as well as the further development of computational process chains by means of Python and Machine Learning Tools

The activity can begin from summer semester 2026 (ideally from May 2026).

Studies in mechanical engineering, automotive engineering, aerospace engineering or a comparable technical course

Secure knowledge of German and English in word and writing

Basic knowledge of drive technology

First experiences in the simulation, preferably the FEM calculation

Knowledge of Machine Learning (ML) and/or Python are advantageous

Commitment, team skills and a pronounced affinity for automotive

We offer: Care: Intensive professional support by our experienced experts

Resources: Access to state-of-the-art technology, software and databases

Remuneration: An attractive remuneration for your work

Network: The opportunity to establish valuable contacts in the automotive industry and become part of an innovative team
