Internship - Simulation of Electric Drives (f/m/d)

Work environment

Our Volkswagen plant in Kassel is the lead plant for transmissions and electric drives within the Volkswagen Group. In component development Kassel, interdisciplinary teams work on the design and optimization of electric drives, hybrid transmissions, and forward-looking transmission components. Our Acoustics and Simulation department plays a central role: using state-of-the-art simulation methods and innovative testing technologies, we drive the efficiency, robustness, and noise optimization of electric drives. During your internship, you will work closely on current development projects and make a direct contribution to the advancement of highly automated electric drive concepts. Apply now!

Possible tasks within this role
