Dear CES Students,

At SLA, we are developing a software framework for the Finite Cell Method (FCM), and we need you as a programmer! The FCM has tons of advantages compared to the FEM and has the potential to supersede it for many problems of structural mechanics. At present, it is used for the prediction of part distortion in the project VoKoES, funded by EFRE NRW. We are looking for someone to support us with expert knowledge in various fields of software development.

Your tasks will be:

· Different aspects of coding and software maintenance

· Give advice with your IT knowledge

· Set up our code for cross-platform compatiblity

· Implementation of workflows for the FCM framework

Your required skills are:

· Good knowledge of C++

· Experience in software development

· Knowledge of best practices in software development

· Experience with Git

· Experience with working in Linux environments would be a plus

· Good English skills

· German skills would be a plus

I am looking forward to your application. Additionally, for those of you who are finishing their program, we have various possibilities for Bachelor or Master Theses in this field and I would be happy to supervise your work. If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to contact me.

Best regards,

Sebastian Schmid
