Student*in für Masterarbeit: Lebensdauer Lithium-Ionen-Batterien - Simulation der nicht-linearen Alterung

Research And Development Incl. Design

Our work is shaped by the visions and requirements of e-mobility. We mean innovative products with the highest quality and efficient development processes. In the Mercedes-Benz development, we are shaping the automotive generations of the future. We are already working on vehicles and components that will secure the technology leadership of Mercedes-Benz AG in the future.

Our center is responsible for the entire battery development in the drive development area of Mercedes-Benz AG. The customer's desire for a long service life dictates the high requirements for EV and PHEV battery systems. Well-founded models of aging in batteries are essential for the optimal prediction of the service life. Understanding the physical-chemical processes is an important building block for optimizing the models.

These challenges come your way:

• Training in the subject of service life prognosis and aging mechanisms of lithium-ion batteries, in particular non-linear aging behavior
• Use of an existing model framework for the service life simulation of lithium-ion batteries and extension of the model to describe non-linear aging
• Development of physics-based concepts to improve the prediction quality
• Documentation, presentation and discussion of the results

The final topic selection will be made in consultation with the university, you and us.

The activity can start in August 2026.

• Degree in engineering, natural sciences, information technology or a comparable field, ideally with in-depth knowledge in the field of battery technology
• Experience with the simulation description of systems
• Strong programming skills, especially in Matlab/Simulink
• Secure use of MS Office
• Secure German and English skills in speech and writing
• Independent, structured and goal-oriented working method as well as pronounced analytical thinking
• High degree of team capability, motivation and self-responsibility
