We are looking fora Master’s Thesis Worker to join our Engineering Innovation & Advanced Concepts team and work on thesis topics directly connected to customer delivery projects.<\/p>\n

The role is based in Finland, with the MBD team located primarily in Vaasa. Thesis work can be conducted partly remotely, but periodic on-site work in Vaasa is required for collaboration and pilot activities. The thesis duration is approximately 68 months, with a flexible start.<\/p>\n

You will work on a thesis with direct industrial impact, where your results can influence how products are defined and delivered in real projects. This assignment is grounded in real parts, real designs, and real downstream usage, not simulated cases. You will receive structured guidance while being trusted with responsibility and autonomy.<\/p>\n

The thesis can start as soon as a suitable candidate is identified. The final scope and topic will be agreed together with the student and their university.<\/p>\n

Your role and responsibilities<\/p>\n

As a Master’s Thesis Worker in the MBD team, you will work on applying and validating ModelBased Definition in real engineering contexts.The thesis topic will be refined during the project and shaped into a master’s thesis in cooperation with your university.<\/p>\n

You will work closely with experienced engineers and receive guidance throughout the assignment, while taking responsibility for execution, analysis, and conclusions.<\/p>\n

Your master’s thesis work will focus on:<\/p>\n

* Studying the use of ModelBased Definition (MBD) as part of modern mechanical design practices
\n * Understanding how design definition information flows from design to downstream stakeholders
\n * Identifying factors that influence successful adoption of MBD
\n * Structuring findings into usable insights and guidance for engineering contexts
\n * Contributing to internal understanding through selected activities, as appropriate<\/p>\n

To be able to succeed in the position, we expect you to have:<\/p>\n

* Ongoing Master’s studies in Mechanical Engineering, Production Engineering, or a similar field
\n * Possibility to work onsite in Vaasa when needed
\n * Strong analytical and structured problemsolving skills
\n * Interest in how design decisions impact manufacturing and delivery
\n * Willingness to work with real design constraints and incomplete information
\n * Ability to document conclusions clearly and precisely<\/p>\n

Experience with ModelBased Definition or downstream manufacturing data is an advantage.<\/p>\n
