• Assisting with project coordination and related administrative tasks.

With evolving legislation demanding advanced State-of-Health (SoH), the automotive industry is on the brink of a revolution in improving the planning and time at vehicle workshops. Future regulations will require precise reporting of the State-of-Health (SoH) of critical engine components, ensuring optimal performance and safety. Join us in pioneering methodology for estimating the SoH and On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) of engine components. The mission is develop a sophisticated, physics-based mean-average/0-Dimensinsional engine model that simulates component degradation and seamlessly integrates with the engine control unit. You'll be working with a Volvo engine and expanding the model to encompass the degradation of vital engine components.

Content

Initially a literature study should be conducted in order to gain information and experience from previous work. The next steps are listed below:

• Getting familiar with gas exhange engine modelling
•  Start from a simplified model and expand the model to a Volvo engine
• Calibrate base engine model using test cell data
• Expand engine model to cover degradation/wear of engine components
• Calibrate the expanded engine model using test cell data
• Evaluate the model in simulation environment

The OSCE Secretariat is looking for qualified candidates to carry out internships for 2-6 month periods in both administrative and programmatic areas. To give you an idea of what kinds of assignments you can expect, we have listed some typical day-to-day duties which interns perform in our different departments:    

• Drafting research papers, policy reports, concept papers, and other written materials such as briefing papers/memos/talking points/speeches/documents/newsletters/presentations;
• Assisting in project management and implementation such as the preparation of project proposals/budgets, and compiling project progress reports for donors;
• Conducting thematic research, assisting with the revision legal documents and with the preparation of legal opinions, assisting with media monitoring, or conducting surveys and/or financial analyses;
• Supporting communication-related events/outreach activities such as website updates, putting together booklets and leaflets and creating audio-visual content for social media;
• Supporting the organization of events, meetings, regional workshops, press conferences, round-tables and other conferences;
• Attending meetings of the OSCE decision-making and OSCE-related bodies, taking minutes, drafting official records and writing reports;
• Supporting daily operational work in our administrative departments such as human resources, financial services, supply chain/travel management/procurement activities, information and communication technology;
• Assisting senior managers in preparing for trips, bi-lateral meetings and country visits by compiling background documents, dealing with logistic arrangements and communicating with a range of OSCE internal and external stakeholders.

Location: OSCE Secretariat, Wien or Prague
