Following tasks should be covered:

·  Close exchange and collaboration with bearing specialists and manufacturers
·  Analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the various bearing types (weight, costs, maintenance, service life, etc. of both, bearing and adjacent structures)
·  Development of 'Design Principles' for alternative bearing types
·  Development of a 'Decision Support Document' - when is which bearing type advisable and advantageous to use?
·  Development of clear recommendations for all considered bearing locations

You offer:

·  Enrolled student (m/f/d) within Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or similar field of study
·  Knowledge of MS Office and Catia V5
