Reshape the Future of Energy. With Us.
At Skellium, we’re not just building better batteries — we’re redefining what’s possible for electric mobility. Based in Aachen and backed by the EXIST Research Transfer programme, we’ve developed a breakthrough manufacturing process for lithium-metal anodes that makes next-generation solid-state batteries safer, more efficient, and ready for scale. Think: EVs with 1,000+ km range. That’s the world we’re building.
We’re a small, ambitious team at the very beginning of something big — and we’re looking for a Bachelor’s or Master’s student who wants to shape the production technology behind the next generation of batteries.
Bachelor’s / Master’s Thesis | Technical Customer Projects — Lithium-Metal Anodes
Your Mission
As Skellium’s technology develops, we work with industrial partners on customer-specific projects that turn technical requirements into practical solutions. You will support these projects from the initial technical assessment through experimental implementation and delivery.
Your thesis will connect engineering, battery technology, and project management. You will help translate customer needs into technically sound, actionable concepts while gaining direct insight into customer-facing work at an early-stage deep-tech start-up.
What You’ll Work On
- Analyse and structure technical requirements from industrial customers
- Translate customer needs into feasible technical solution concepts
- Support the planning and execution of experiments and technical implementations
- Coordinate requirements and proposed solutions with the Skellium team
- Evaluate and document experimental results for internal and external project partners
- Help move customer projects from initial technical discussions to successful delivery
- Derive practical technical recommendations from customer and project requirements
Who You Are
- Currently enrolled in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a comparable programme
- Interested in technical project work with direct customer relevance
- Structured, proactive, and comfortable taking ownership
- Enthusiastic about battery technology and the fast-moving environment of a start-up
- Able to communicate technical topics clearly to both internal and external stakeholders
- A team player who works collaboratively and reliably
What You Get
- Real responsibility in customer-facing technology projects
- A clearly scoped thesis with flexible implementation
- Professional supervision and direct insight into industry practice
- Exposure to the full path from customer requirement to technical solution
- Direct access to Skellium’s founders, engineers, and industry partners
- A front-row seat to scaling a deep-tech company and its technology
