The Company

Our client has a wide range of disciplines and know-how to serve their customers in bringing their innovations to the market. For instance, The Mechatronics department, with approximately 150 employees, is unique in its system design approach which has led to many practical solutions for their customers. Therefore, our client is active in equipment as well as sub-system design, prototyping and testing. Besides that, a lot of their mechatronics solutions are applied in consumer products and healthcare systems.

Role Description

You will be working in multi-disciplinary teams of highly skilled technical experts from both our client's Innovation Services and its customers.
The Mechatronics Technology group where you will be working within the Mechatronics department is a group of over 30 specialists in the field of Control, Dynamics, Acoustics, Smart Sensing, Tribology and Thermal management. Each day will bring you new challenges as our client works in many different projects for a variety of customers, from small and medium enterprises to complex industries like semiconductors and solar power.

Responsibilities

You will be responsible for the thermal management in Mechatronic development projects. Your activities range from thermal design studies with Matlab and flow network modeling in the concept phase to the optimization of the desired performance by thermal, thermo-mechanical and CFD modelling in Ansys (FEM) in the detailed engineering phase. Additionally experimental validation of the predicted thermal/flow behavior in our customers’ systems is a crucial aspect of your contribution. Multi-disciplinary cooperation within project teams is vital for success.

Requirements

• A Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering or Applied Physics (preferably thermal or dynamics(/control) specialization) is a must
