Work environment
In our Group Components team, we are working on a completely novel heating and cooling system that has the potential to revolutionize today’s climate control solutions. As the technology is still in an early stage of development, your ideas and commitment are highly valued—right at the interface between research and real-world application. You can expect exciting projects in collaboration with start-ups, universities, and as part of innovative funded research programs. Become part of this dynamic environment and actively help shape the future of vehicle climate control! We offer, for example, a 4–6 month internship with the subsequent opportunity to continue the collaboration in the form of a thesis project (e.g., a Master’s thesis).
