Internship / Working Student in Realtime Physics Simulation for Soft Body Modeling (f/m/x)
Location: Oberkochen, Karlsruhe
Time Type: Full time
Job Description
Your Role
With us, you have the opportunity to perfectly combine your studies with practical experience while actively contributing to exciting projects. This allows you to gain valuable skills, expand your network, and grow both professionally and personally.
We are seeking motivated students to join our research & development team focused on realtime physics simulations for soft-tissue modeling. Working alongside scientists and research engineers, you will spend at least three months (preferably six months) on applied research and prototyping—developing and extending realtime, interactive soft‑body simulation systems used in the medical domain.
What We Offer
Hands-on experience building foundations for realtime simulation systems
The chance to learn, implement and extend state-of-the-art simulation methods (XPBD, advanced constraint solvers, hybrid models)
Mentorship from PhD-level researchers
A modern working environment with hybrid work options and flexible hours
A supportive, interdisciplinary team with career paths in research engineering and product development
The option to write a master thesis following an internship or working student position
Your Profile
Enrolled in a Master’s program in Computer Science, Physics, Computer Graphics, Visual Computing, Applied Mathematics, or a related field
Strong programming skills in C++ and Python
Solid understanding of geometry processing, mesh data structures and numerical methods for simulation
Good communication skills in English; German is a plus
Self-driven, curious and collaborative with a willingness to tackle challenging research-to-product problems.
Nice to have:
Prior experience with Vulkan (compute or graphics) or other low-level GPU APIs
Experience with Slang or other modern shading languages and writing GPU shaders
Knowledge of Taichi (the Taichi programming language) for differentiable / high-performance simulation prototyping
Experience with rendering pipelines and realtime visual feedback
Prior projects or coursework in soft-body simulation, surgical simulation, or biomechanical modeling
Familiarity with Blender
