Number: MER0003VWR You're studying an MINT study program and are you interested in a degree with strong reference to electromobility? You have fun working in the interface between pre/development, production and quality? From March 2026, an exciting field of topics in the field of plastics technology awaits you. We are part of the planning and production technology center for the drivetrain at Untertürkheim. In cooperation with the other teams, we provide the latest and most innovative technologies in the production environment and secure the degree of ripening up to series production. In addition to many manufacturing and measuring technical and further questions from the development and quality sector, our team is working on. We also develop innovative manufacturing processes and processes for high-quality powertrain applications. As part of a technology project for future drive systems, we are looking for an studentin from March 2026 for a final work with the focus on the development of manufacturing technologies in plastics technology. Your tasks include: Literature research in the fields of material development plastics technology, process development in plastics processing, technology screening of innovative manufacturing processes, etc.

Injection into plastic technology in particular plastic injection molding for electric motors

Test planning, implementation and evaluation for process and material development and product validation

Analysis of production influences on the properties of high-performance fiber composites

Consideration of Plastic Analytical Questions

Design, material and technology development for future electric motors

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

Course of study in the field of natural, engineering, technical or a comparable course of study with a deepening of plastics technology, materials science, mechanical engineering, lightweight construction, etc.
