MASTER’S THESIS WITH PRE-INTERNSHIP: SILOXANE VAPOURS AND ELECTRICAL RELAYS (F/M/D)

As part of this master’s thesis with a pre-internship, you will investigate the influence of siloxane vapours on electrical relays. The role combines hands-on experiments, technical analysis and the development of measures to increase reliability in electronics manufacturing. Hands-on Experiments: You will carry out practical investigations on electrical relays exposed to siloxane vapours and evaluate the effects on their function. Literature Research and Familiarization: Part of your work will be to familiarize yourself with the current state of the art in process technologies, materials and design approaches. Standardized Test Procedure: You will optimize an existing test setup in order to establish a more standardized test procedure. Material and Process Analysis: Your responsibilities will also include material analysis and the characterization of volatile siloxanes. Optimization Potentials: You will identify promising approaches for cost reduction and efficiency improvement in electronics manufacturing and derive countermeasures to increase reliability.
