Jobbeschreibung

Master Thesis – Multi-Objective Optimization for Tire Development (m/f/d) - REF93540N

• Full-time
• Referral Bonus: No
• Working Time: Full Time

The R&D Data Science Team at our Hannover-Stöckenlocation is responsible for data-based support of research and development in the field of tires. To achieve this, we utilize a mix of self-service business intelligence solutions and modern machine learning techniques to provide our tire developers with advanced tools for the tires of the future.

Within this exciting work environment at our location in Hanover-Stöcken, we are offering a master thesis position (incl. internship)starting September 2026. For the best learning experience possible, the internship should require a duration of about 3 months.

Formulate tire concept selection as a constrained multi-objective optimization problem based on multiple predictive models

• Integrate heterogeneous prediction outputs such as point predictions, prediction intervals, probabilities, and reliability indicators into a common optimization framework

Incorporate prediction uncertainty using risk-aware objectives, chance constraints, Monte Carlo evaluation, sensitivity analysis, or related methods

Ongoing studies in mathematics, computer science, data science, statistics, engineering or a comparable quantitative field, ideally with a specialization in optimization, machine learning, statistics, operations research or numerical methods

Knowledge of machine learning, predictive modeling, statistics, or uncertainty quantification

Basic understanding of multi-objective optimization, Pareto concepts or numerical optimization methods

Experience with scientific documentation and structured evaluation of algorithms is beneficial

Python, ideally including common data science and optimization libraries

Very good command of English, written and spoken
