Internship in Automatic Air Cavity Detection; m​/f

In sheet metal forming, enclosed volumes of air can become trapped between the forming tools and the metal sheet during a press run. As the tools close, this air is compressed, potentially causing forming defects, surface marks, noise, tool wear, or process instability. To mitigate this, shop floors apply venting: drilling vent holes in the tools to allow air to escape.

Today, vent placement is largely based on technician experience and trial-and-error, making the process subjective, time-consuming, and hard to standardize.

• Bring an existing prototype to production quality and integrate it into a solver DLL extension
• Add essential features such as vent hole size and placement suggestions
• Robust implementation of geometric algorithms
• Performance optimization and parallelization
• Translation of customer needs to a concrete software solution

• Master's or Bachelor’s degree (or in the process of obtaining one) in computer science or engineering or a related field
• Familiarity with C++ programming
• Basic geometry knowledge
• Team Player with a strong commitment to problem solving
• Good knowledge of English required. German would be a plus

• A challenging role in a respectful and global working environment
• Being part of a world-leading, high-end CAE software company
• Working on cutting edge technologies for the automotive industry
• Professional development and continuous education
• Excellent balance between your working life and your private life through flexible working hours
