About The Company
Fraunhofer IGD is the international leading institute for applied research in visual computing. Visual computing is image- and model-based information technology and includes computer graphics and computer vision, as well as virtual and augmented reality. In simple terms, the Fraunhofer researchers in Darmstadt, Rostock, and Kiel are turning information into images and extracting information from images. In cooperation with its partners, technical solutions and market-relevant products are created. Prototypes and integrated solutions are developed in accordance with customized requirements. In doing so, Fraunhofer IGD places users at the forefront, providing them with technical solutions to facilitate computer work and make it more efficient. Owing to its numerous innovations, Fraunhofer IGD raises man-machine interaction to a new level. Man is able to work in a more result-oriented and effective way by means of the computer and visual computing developments.
About the Role

The Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Nanosystems ENAS specializes in the development of smart systems – so-called intelligent systems for a wide range of applications. These systems combine electronic components, micro- and nanosensors, and actuators with communication interfaces. Fraunhofer ENAS develops individual components, the technologies for their manufacture, as well as system concepts and system integration technologies, and translates them into practical applications. Fraunhofer ENAS supports customer projects from the initial idea through design, technology development, or implementation using existing technologies, all the way to a tested prototype.

The Micro Materials Centre (MMC) department is concerned with the reliability of electronic components. The application-oriented research aims to improve the reliability of electronic components by means of suitable experimental investigations and the use of numerical models and, furthermore, to carry out a prognosis of the remaining service life.

This position focuses on developing an open-source workflow for parametric geometry generation and automated meshing of power-electronic modules. The extended research investigates AI based approaches to automating CAD modeling and mesh generation.

Are you interested in AI-based finite-element modeling and simulation? Join our Micro Materials Centre (MMC) department for an exciting student research position starting immediately, with the possibility of continuation.
