Number: MER000413S In the 12V battery development department of Mercedes‐Benz AG, we are looking for support in the further development of an existing battery cell model and in the construction of a simulation-based test environment. The aim of the work is to develop an existing cell model professionally and functionally, to couple it with a virtual ECU (vECU) and to build a simulation environment that allows the feature test cases to be reproducible and automated. The focus is on SiL-related tests, the evaluation of battery features and the early protection of functions in the virtual environment. This is what awaits you: A dynamic and innovative team in the 12V battery development department

Working with current battery and software development topics

Deep insights into cell modeling, functional development and virtual backup

Application of modern simulation and test methods in the automotive environment

These challenges include: Analysis and further development of an existing battery cell model

Connection of the cell model to a vECU (functional and signal level)

Building a simulation environment for virtual backup

Implementation and execution of feature test cases in the simulation

Evaluation and documentation of the simulation results

The activity can begin from June 2026.

Studies in engineering, electrical engineering, mechatronics, vehicle engineering or comparable

Very good knowledge of German and English in word and writing

Basic knowledge of simulation, modelling and software development

Programming skills (e.g. C++, MATLAB/Simulink, Python) of advantage

Interest in battery systems, virtual backup and software development

Structured, analytical and independent operation

Commitment, team and communication skills
