We want to grow and are looking to strengthen our team in Bovenden!

With inventiveness and passion, we develop and build thermal plants according to individual customer requirements. Represented in 5 countries with 10 locations worldwide and more than 125 years of expertise in industrial furnace construction, ONEJOON as a medium-sized technology company – with 260 employees in Germany – offers a wide range of tasks in a dynamic and future-oriented environment. We would be happy to explain to you in person what furnace construction has to do with fuel cell technology and e-mobility.

What does that mean for you?

Aim of the work

Due to the energy transition, the demand for batteries and thus also for cathode material has risen sharply. In order to produce this large demand as efficiently as possible, the roller furnaces used for production are becoming longer and longer, which causes difficulties in transporting the crucibles.

The state of the art are roller furnaces with a length of about 50 meters. In these furnaces, several crucibles filled with cathode material are transported through the furnace side by side. Due to the load on the transport rollers, smallest tolerances as well as thermal effects, an undefined state of the position of the individual crucibles occurs at the furnace exit. This effect is further intensified as the furnace becomes longer and longer, making further transport more difficult. This effect is also called "meandering".

The feasibility of new concept ideas at the Test Center in Bovenden is to be investigated, tried out in practice and evaluated. The aim is to develop a cost-effective system to enable a 100 m kiln to be realized.

Structure of the work packages

1. Familiarization with the subject area of furnace construction with a focus on roller furnaces and transport
2. Planning, construction and operation of the trainer
3. Carrying out realistic measurements
4. Evaluation of the measured data
5. Presentation of the results in an appropriate form

If required, the task can be adapted for the scope of a student research project, bachelor thesis or master thesis.

*Conceptualization of the process can also be worked on separately from the thesis as part of an employment as a working student (m/f/d).

You are a good fit for us if you:

• Are a student (m/f/d) of materials science, process engineering, mechanical engineering or related courses of study,
• Possess good knowledge of mechanical engineering, metrology and materials engineering,
• Ideally already have experience with materials handling and thermal processes.

What else do we value:

• good communication skills, a high capacity for teamwork but also high resilience, flexibility and willingness to learn
• Organizational skills and goal-oriented, structured way of working
• Good knowledge of German and English, both written and spoken
• Good MS Office skills
