Jobbeschreibung

Working at Freudenberg : We will wow your world!

Responsibilities

• You manage and coordinate development projects in the field of tribology for machine elements such as gears, bearings, seals, or sliding pairs — particularly for robotic drive systems.
• You develop test concepts and carry out tribological test series, supported by statistical methods and AI-based evaluations, to assess friction, wear, and lubrication under realistic loads.
• Working closely with interdisciplinary teams, you integrate tribological insights directly into the development of lubricants for modern robotics and drive systems.
• You analyze failure mechanisms and develop strategies to optimize lubrication, service life, and energy efficiency — including simulations and validations.
• You support the development of predictive maintenance models and prepare technical documentation as well as presentations.

Qualifications

• You have a completed degree with a focus on tribology, mechanical engineering, mechatronics, or a related field — or you impress us with your practical expertise.
• With your experience in automation, robotics, or precision engineering, you feel at home in demanding technical environments and have ideally already successfully managed interdisciplinary R&D projects.
• You convince us with your solid expertise in tribology, lubrication and surface technology, as well as your hands‑on experience with component testing and modern analytical methods.
• You are proficient in data analysis tools and in the use of MATLAB or Python.
• With your strong analytical skills, clear communication, and business‑fluent English, you are well prepared for international collaboration.
