Internship 2025 (International) : Master Thesis in Manufacturing, Power Solutions (HmjP/MOE1.1)

Job Description

Master Thesis: Analysis of Implementation of Alternative LSR Raw Material

Project Overview: We are excited to offer an opportunity for a highly motivated Master's student to conduct an in-depth analysis on implementing alternative Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) raw materials within our production processes. This project will explore sustainable material options, aiming to improve cost-efficiency and enhance production quality.

Key Responsibilities:

• Material Analysis: Leverage engineering lifecycle management knowledge to assess current LSR materials and properties (e.g., compression set, hardness, elongation), identifying critical properties that align with our product requirements.
• Market Research: Conduct a market analysis of SEA LSR suppliers, focusing on price, total cost of ownership, and carbon footprint. Evaluate various LSR grades and identify suitable alternatives.
• Process Optimization: Investigate potential optimizations in follow-up processes, such as oven or plasma treatments, considering local, non-post-curing material types.
• Cost Efficiency: Analyze potential cost savings through optimized material choices, reduced storage, transportation, and enhanced production cycles.
• Benefits Analysis: Assess how alternative LSR grades can impact process stability, waste reduction, and production efficiency improvements.

Qualifications

1. Currently enrolled in a Master's degree program in Mechanical, Environmental, Process, & Energy Engineering or related engineering fields.
2. Strong command of English (C1) and native-level proficiency in German.
3. Proficient in Microsoft Office and experienced in project management

Ideal Candidate:

• Background in industrial engineering and lifecycle management, with practical experience in managing production changes and optimizing product performance.
• Knowledge or experience in raw materials related to LSR, LSR injection molding, and similar processes.
• Demonstrated ability to lead projects, work collaboratively with international teams, and apply analytical skills to improve process efficiencies.
• Comfortable working independently and skilled in coordinating complex projects with cross-functional teams.

Additional Information

Benefits:

• Gain hands-on experience in sustainable manufacturing practices and cost optimization within a real-world industrial setting.
• Collaborate with industry experts and contribute to impactful, innovative solutions.
• Mentorship and guidance from professionals in materials science, manufacturing and engineering, with a focus on practical applications.
