• You will contribute to the conceptual development and software implementation of methods for load processing and fatigue analysis for various applications of our large‑diameter bearings.
• Independent programming, extension, and maintenance of relevant calculation and design tools will be at the core of your responsibilities.
• Additionally, documentation, conducting training sessions, and providing support for users across the entire business unit will be part of your tasks.
• You will also assist in carrying out and coordinating calculation projects with colleagues throughout the global corporate network.

• You have completed a university degree in Computer Science, an Engineering discipline, or a closely related technical field.
• You have excellent programming skills in C++,C# as well as experience with MATLAB.
• Experience working across language boundaries, e.g. interfacing C++/C# with MATLAB, integrating compiled code or building cross‑language toolchains.
• Ability to translate engineering requirements into robust, maintainable software architectures.
• Ideally, initial experience in the areas of load processing (signal preparation, Rainflow Counting) and fatigue analysis (FKM Guideline, VDI 2230).
• Very good German and English language skills complete your profile.
