With its focus on future-relevant key technologies and the utilization of results in economy and industry, the Fraunhofer Society plays a central role in the innovation process. As a guide and source of inspiration for innovative developments and scientific excellence, it contributes to shaping our society and our future.

For over 35 years, the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Systems and Design Technology in Berlin has stood for excellence in production science. We are dedicated to bridging the gap between science and practice in the field of industrial production and offer application-oriented system solutions for the entire spectrum of industrial tasks – from product development to the production process, maintenance of capital goods, and recycling of products to the design and management of factory operations.

In the Virtual Product Creation business unit at Fraunhofer IPK, we develop innovative approaches for model-based systems engineering (MBSE). Our focus is on optimizing development processes, the semantic mapping of product information, and the integration of MBSE into end-to-end product lifecycle management (PLM). The Intelligent Networking department addresses the design of integrated value creation systems for virtual product development across the entire life cycle, as well as data-consistent product systems, by designing suitable methods, processes, organizations, IT systems, and data and information models.

• Support in the use of systems engineering (SE) in projects, e.g., through user stories, use cases, requirements gathering, etc.
• Modeling of system models within the framework of MBSE projects
• Collaboration in the introduction and application of MBSE in companies with a focus on MBSE maturity assessment
• Collaboration in training and further education courses on MBSE
• Conducting literature research in the context of MBSE and preparing it for projects and training courses

What you bring to the table

• Degree in computer science, mechanical engineering, mechatronics, production engineering, industrial engineering, or a comparable field of study
