OpenFOAM: Take it to the next level!
About the working group
In the “Extrusion Tools/CAE” working group, new numerical flow and structural simulations are programmed in the open source software OpenFOAM. Optimisation algorithms and high-performance computing also play a role here. Over the years, an extensive code base has accumulated, which can be used to solve a wide variety of problems in simulation-based tool design.
Your tasks:
Your activities will include preparing and maintaining the code base, training new employees in the new in-house solvers and carrying out and evaluating simulations in OpenFOAM. In addition, insights can also be provided into the performance of experimental tests on pilot plants and the design of tools and geometries for simulation purposes. The work areas can be adapted to suit your knowledge and preferences. Project, Bachelor’s or Master’s theses are also possible in the various areas.
We offer you:
- Collaboration on innovative research topics
- Varied and challenging activities
- A pleasant working atmosphere with flexible working hours
- Contact with partners from research and industry
We expect you to:
- Experienced with git and object-oriented programming (ideally C++)
- Interest in simulations Job offer HiWi HiWi wanted at IKV for programming and simulation
- Careful and conscientious way of working in a team
- Communication and documentation skills
- Technical degree program (e.g. CES, SiSc, computer science, mechanical engineering)
- German and English language skills
