Kongens Lyngby, Lyngby-Tårbæk Kommune, Denmark Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU) Full time

About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated PhD student to join our research group at Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU) to work on a project focused on developing manufacturing solutions for miniature impellers where the form generating process is an additive manufacturing process.

The successful candidate will have a strong background in production engineering technologies and manufacturing systems for subtractive manufacturing. They will be responsible for developing hardware and software tools enabling the generation of miniature thin wall feature components with high geometrical accuracy combined with low surface roughness and deterministic micro topography features in a single machine, without additional manufacturing steps.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop solutions based on micro polishing for processing low stiffness elements such as turbine blades
  • Address the challenges related to the management of tool and workpiece compliance
  • Develop a Digital Twin of the part/process/system suitable for application in efficient production lines
  • Experimentally validate the models' performance through extensive testing
  • Conduct complete part characterization using high-resolution measurement techniques

About You

To be successful in this role, you will have an excellent academic background and strong knowledge of production engineering technologies and manufacturing systems for subtractive manufacturing. You will also have good analytical skills as well as good communication skills in English.

What We Offer

Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU) is a leading technical university globally recognized for the excellence of its research, education, innovation, and scientific advice. We offer a rewarding and challenging job in an international environment, striving for academic excellence in an environment characterized by collegial respect and academic freedom tempered by responsibility.
