Darum lohnt es sich

Master Thesis at a Deep Tech Startup (HYJOIN) Simulation Framework for HybridMetal-Plastic Joints Based on MicroscaleMechanical Interlocking Join HYJOIN and develop the next generation of predictive engineering tools for intelligent joining technology.

In this thesis, you will develop a simulation framework to model and predict the performance of hybrid metal-plastic joints created through laser-structured surface technologies and thermal direct joining.

By combining different modeling approaches and data-driven evaluation, you will create methods to evaluate joint stiffness, strength, durability, sealing performance, and environmental robustness.

Your Tasks • Develop a simulation framework for hybrid metal-plastic joining technologies • Model mechanical interlocking between laser-structured metal surfaces and polymers • Validate and implement numerical approaches to predict joint strength, thermal behavior and failure behavior of thermally direct joined components • Analyze the influence of surface structure geometry on mechanical performance • Evaluate the effects of temperature, humidity, and environmental influences on joint properties • Correlate simulation results with experimental manufacturing and testing data • Develop software tools and workflows for automated simulation and design evaluation • Validate and optimize the models using real industrial applications Your Profile • M.Sc. student in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Computational Engineering, Materials Science, Mechatronics, Physics, or a related field • Interest in simulation, material modeling, and advanced manufacturing technologies • Experience with numerical methods such as FEM, multi-physics simulation, or computational modeling • Familiarity with material behavior and structural mechanics • Programming skills (Python preferred) • Experience with simulation software is a plus • Analytical mindset and enthusiasm for solving complex engineering problems • Motivated, independent, and eager to learn • Excited by the pace and responsibility of a startup environment What We Offer • A highly relevant industrial research topic • Direct impact on innovative manufacturing technology • Close collaboration with experts in laser processing and joining • Startup culture with flat hierarchies and fast decision-making • Flexible start date and room for your own ideas Location: Munich / Dresden Company: hyjoin GmbH Start: Flexible Interested?
