Students: Parametric CAD & Mesh Automation for Power-Electronic Modules

The Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Nanosystems ENAS specializes in the development of smart systems – so-called intelligent systems for a wide range of applications. These systems combine electronic components, micro- and nanosensors, and actuators with communication interfaces. Fraunhofer ENAS develops individual components, the technologies for their manufacture, as well as system concepts and system integration technologies, and translates them into practical applications. Fraunhofer ENAS supports customer projects from the initial idea through design, technology development, or implementation using existing technologies, all the way to a tested prototype.

The Micro Materials Centre (MMC) department is concerned with the reliability of electronic components. The application-oriented research aims to improve the reliability of electronic components by means of suitable experimental investigations and the use of numerical models and, furthermore, to carry out a prognosis of the remaining service life.

This position focuses on developing an open-source workflow for parametric geometry generation and automated meshing of power-electronic modules. The extended research investigates AI based approaches to automating CAD modeling and mesh generation.
