You will work closely with our team and gain insights into exciting projects and processes.

The following activities will be the main focus:

• Conduct a comprehensive literature review on reliability engineering, ageing processes, and storage guidelines for electromechanical components
• Propose a framework for reliability evaluation and recommendations for future improvements
• Identify reliability test methods (temperature, humidity, vibration, and other stress factors)
• Define storage specification guidelines for stepper motors, including suitable environmental conditions and ageing considerations
• Perform Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) for stepper motors to identify critical failure points
• Collect and evaluate experimental or historical reliability data and perform data analysis to derive insights

• Enrolled in a master's program in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Reliability Engineering, or a related field
• Strong interest in electromechanical systems, reliability analysis, and material ageing processes
• Experience with data analysis tools (Excel pivot tables, Office 365, PowerPoint)
• Good technical knowledge, ability to perform calculations, analytical thinking, and evaluation skills
• Basic knowledge of FMEA methodologyEnrolled in a master's program in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Reliability Engineering, or a related field as well as principles of reliability engineering and familiarity with stepper motors would be a plus
• Very good English skills (written and spoken); German is helpful.
• Enjoyment of communication, planning, and organizational skills
• Strong communication and teamwork abilities as well as flexibility
