Job Description

The development of future vehicles with software‑based functions presents a wide range of new requirements for vehicle components, including the steering system. Against this background, the Steering System Development department of Volkswagen Group Components in Braunschweig is developing a steer‑by‑wire system in which the current mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the wheels is eliminated. The department has expertise across all system levels — from the mechanical design of steering systems and the selection and specification of electronic components to in‑house software development.

Job Responsibility

  • Analyzing (system-dynamic) the electronic and mechanical components of the steering system with regard to the influence of component friction
  • Modeling the system and validating the model based on measurements and testing
  • Researching and preparing the state of the art in friction estimation
  • Developing a software function for estimating/determining the state variables and friction characteristics of the steering system
  • Creating hands‑on detection functions related to friction estimation

Requirements

  • Good to very good university degree qualifying for doctoral studies in mechatronics, mechanical engineering, control engineering, or a comparable field
  • Programming skills, especially in MATLAB/Simulink, C and/or ANSYS Scade
  • Strong knowledge of control engineering and mechanics
  • German or English language level C1
  • Independent and self‑driven working style

What we offer

  • Attractive salary & 30 vacation days (+ 24.12. and 31.12. off)
  • 35-hour week, flexible working hours, remote work
  • Special conditions for the purchase and leasing of vehicles
  • Free seminars on scientific work and interdisciplinary qualifications
  • Participation in the doctoral network for scientific exchange with science representatives and other doctoral candidates within the Volkswagen Group
