THE FUTURE IS WHAT WE CREATE WHEN WE TAKE OUR VISIONS TO THE LIMITS.

PHD AT THE BMW GROUP.

Bridging the gap between your doctoral studies and the kind of career challenge you’re looking for isn’t always easy. That’s why our ProMotion PhD programme gives you the opportunity to apply your passion and scientific expertise to very real challenges that could shape the future of mobility. If selected, you’ll have the chance to really develop your own future career path with us through your practice‑related thesis, promote your chosen specialty from within – and position yourself to secure the career you’ve always wanted.

Our team specializes in virtualizing passive safety and implementing new technologies to maximize the efficiency and quality of our workflows. By continuously optimizing processes and methods, we ensure that we always remain at the forefront of CAE technology development.

What awaits you?

• You will gain in-depth insights into the field of passive safety with a focus on method development in crash simulations and crash tests.
• You will work on exciting topics in the field of modeling and simulation of damage, failure, and geometric discontinuities in the context of trimmed IGA solids.
• You will deal with robust and efficient modeling and simulation workflows for thin‑walled structures with trimmed IGA solids.
• You will also support our team, actively help shaping our process and method development, and manage your work packages independently.

What should you bring along?

• University degree in mechanical engineering, mathematics, computational mechanics, or a comparable field of study.
• Knowledge of programming languages (preferably Fortran and Python).
• Knowledge of FE methods and LS‑DYNA is desirable.
• Business fluent German and English skills.
