PhD AI Driven Crash Simulation and Geometric Deep Learning (f/m/x)

Descripción del puesto:

THE FUTURE IS WHAT WE CREATE WHEN WE TAKE OUR VISIONS TO THE LIMITS.

PHD AT THE BMW GROUP.

Bridging the gap between your doctoral studies and the kind of career challenge you're looking for isn't always easy. That's why our ProMotion PhD programme gives you the opportunity to apply your passion and scientific expertise to very real challenges that could shape the future of mobility. If selected, you'll have the chance to really develop your own future career path with us through your practice-related thesis, promote your chosen specialty from within - and position yourself to secure the career you've always wanted.

We are offering an exciting PhD position focused on AI-based crash predictions using 3D crash simulation techniques. The successful candidate will contribute to the development of innovative AI models and data-driven methods to improve the accuracy and efficiency of crashworthiness assessments in automotive safety engineering.
What awaits you?

* Develop AI models for vehicle crash behavior using modern geometrical AI architectures

* Integrate machine learning and data analytics approaches with physics-based simulations to improve prediction accuracy.

* Contribute to the development of automated workflows and optimization methods for crash simulations.

* Research in AI models for CAx (CAD, CAE etc.) applications in crash design process for cars

What should you bring along?

* University degree in engineering, computer science, mathematics, or an equivalent field.

* Experience in AI model development with a focus on geometrical deep learning, e.g. Graph Neural Networks, Geometric Transformers, Transolver architectures.

* Good understanding of CAx artifacts (3D geometry, simulation model, etc.) and related workflows used in product design and development.

* Solid background in numerical simulations, particularly with transient schemes.

* A track record of research contributions (publications, conference talks, or equivalent) is a plus.

* Business-fluent English; German language skills are a plus.
