Jobbeschreibung

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.

What you will do

• 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.
• Theoretical knowledge in the areas of SE and MBSE.
• Good German language skills.
• Ability to work in a team, good communication skills, ability to work independently, and willingness to familiarize yourself with new topics.

Advantageous, but not essential:

• Experience working with MBSE modeling tools.
• Experience in the application of SE and/or MBSE.

What you can expect

• A great team and an open, collegial working environment.
• Flexible working hours that can be combined with your studies.
• Exciting and varied work at a leading research institute.
• Opportunities to participate in current research projects.
• Insight into modern technologies and innovative manufacturing processes.
• Opportunity to write your thesis (bachelor's/master's) in collaboration with our institute.

The remuneration is based on the overall company agreement for the employment of auxiliary staff.

The position is initially limited to one year.

The monthly working hours are 80 hours.

The Fraunhofer Society values professional equality between women and men.

We appreciate and promote the diversity of skills among our employees and welcome all applications – regardless of age, gender, nationality, ethnic and social background, religion, beliefs, disability, as well as sexual orientation and identity. Disabled individuals will be given preferential consideration if they are equally qualified. We look forward to applications from women in STEM professions.

Fraunhofer is the largest organization for applied research in Europe. Our research fields are aligned with the needs of people: health, safety, communication, mobility, energy, and the environment. We are creative, we shape technology, we design products, we improve processes, we open new paths.
