Our department is responsible for the comprehensive planning of a modern, production‑ready vehicle manufacturing system for Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles across all production sites, laying the foundation for efficient, stable, and future‑proof processes. You will work at the intersection of product development, assembly, and technological innovation, shaping production systems that seamlessly combine human work with cutting‑edge technologies. We translate complex product requirements into robust series-production processes and develop solutions that balance quality, cost, and resources intelligently. As a central link within the assembly division, we maintain an overview of the entire process flow and actively drive the transfer of knowledge related to new technologies, standards, and project outcomes. For doctoral candidates, this setting offers an environment that combines scientific depth with real industrial impact. Interested in research with hands-on relevance? Get in touch and help shape the future of vehicle production with us!
The final doctoral topic is defined together with the professor. The prerequisite for the cooperation is the confirmation of supervision as well as a confirmed delimitation of topics by the professor of a university or research institution entitled to confer a doctorate.
