Thesis in the Field of Research & Development / Testing: Development of a Measurement Method for Dynamic Chain Tension Forces

Against the background of changing market requirements, iwis mobility systems wants to develop new concepts for measuring chain tension forces, which as a verifiable test method offer time advantages in the testing of components in the combustion engine.

For this purpose, we are looking for a committed student. Your task will be to develop an innovative measurement approach for determining chain tension forces in combustion engines that enables the integration of this parameter into an existing release concept.

These are your tasks:

• Development of a measurement approach for determining chain tension forces in the combustion engine
• Support in procuring the required measurement technology and qualification in handling it
• Independent execution of confirmation tests on the test bench
• Setup and operation of the necessary measurement technology, e.g., HBM, Kistler, Rotec
• Analysis and documentation of the test results

This is what you bring with you:

• Ongoing studies in the field of automotive engineering, mechanical engineering, mechatronics, or a related technical course of study
• Good knowledge and experience in the field of combustion engines and measurement technology, especially strain gauges (DMS)
• Technical professional experience and/or manual skills are an advantage
• Good knowledge of Microsoft Office
• Ability to work independently and collaborate with various departments
• Sense of responsibility and an independent, structured way of working
• High commitment and willingness to perform
• Team and interpersonal skills

The thesis will be offered for the winter semester 2025/26 and is expected to last about 5-6 months.

Please submit your study and examination regulations as part of your application.
