Team/division description

 

The Vehicle Performance Engineering division (VPE) is part of the R&D group at Toyota Motor Europe Technical Center in Zaventem, Belgium. Our division is in charge of:

 

• Identifying market requirements and trends, and turning them into development targets for vehicles, their subsystems, and down to components
• Performance development of passenger vehicles for the European market
• Researching state of the art and beyond state of the art technologies for implementation in future vehicles
• Developing the state of the art methods to set these requirements, predict the performances and validate them

Your project

 

Your objectives will be to expand a prediction method to estimate the tire wear condition. This method would be mostly based on machine learning and aim at detecting tire critical condition for predictive maintenance.

Your role will be to define and gather necessary data in order to improve and expand the current model as well as to proceed with the model improvement itself.

You will be part of a team applying the scrum development approach and with competencies in mechanical engineering, model base development and data science with an access to state of the art prediction tools and to necessary test data.

 

We can only accept students with an EEA or Swiss citizenship (not requiring a work permit or visa to be eligible to perform an internship in Belgium)
