Industrial Research, a key in-house driver for portfolio innovation at Siemens PLM
High-tech field, bringing critical value to our customers
Siemens PLM must continuously innovate its products & services
Innovation needs fundamental as well as industrial research
We motivate our R&D staff to combine the best of both worlds
Work at the edge of technology
Harvest the fruits from fundamental research worldwide
…. while being inspired by industrial end-users and
address industry’s burning needs from the start,
delivering solutions to real industrial problems
Strive for a PhD with industrial and academic supervision
Basic Science Value
Quality
Applied Science Value
Valorization of research results in industry means “bring a solution to our challenges” and not “finding a problem for a new solution”

Be aware that many steps need to be taken to turn research results into something that can be sold
Many questions must be addressed beforeachieving customer added vale & returns:
What further investments are needed?
Has the technology been validated?
Are field trials needed?
Professionalizing your solution?
Making it ready for series production
Packaging, Solution Marketing
Cost & Quality assurance
Supply Chain, Delivery
Training, Cost-of-change
Post-sales, Maintenance’

Our R&D Approach at Siemens PLM:Partnering to share risks and competences
Partnering with different Actors and Stakeholders enables
Risk, Cost and Competencies sharing
Building networks and accessing networks
Partnering happens in different formats
Informal or formal bilateral cooperation
With lead customer(s) in technology projects
In an RTD project context (Regional, EC)
In business alliances
Key success factors:
Clear Win-Win for all involved
Fitting into the strategies of all partners, with view to build long term relationship from the start
Professionalism in execution: be specific and deliver upon expectations

Our R&D Approach at Siemens PLM:Partnering in collaborative research programs
Collaborative research projects as innovation framework
Partner with key product manufacturers: study the right problem
The real needs come from our users – validation for market-relevant applications
e.g. with Airbus, Eurocopter, BMW, PSA, Renault, Toyota, Honda, EDF, Rolls-Royce
Partner with (inter)national universities: use the best methods
e.g. KU Leuven, Univ. Liège, PoliMi, UNICAL, INSA Lyon, Univ. Bristol, ISVR, UTCluj
Access to top-class research results
Stimulate research to address areas of relevance
Bridge from state-of-the-art to state-of-the-use
Partner complementary technology partners (research institutes + companies)
Fraunhofer, IFP, AVL, ONERA, DLR, EADS, IDIADA, MicrodB, TNO …
Some of these are competitors Coopetition …
Over 100 partners, active and intensive multi-year cooperation with more than 30 academia

PhD or postdoc in industry: schemes
Why not consider a stay in industry?
When you want to connect state-of-the-art to state-of-the-use
This should not compromise the quality of the research, only orient its goals to needs originating from applications
Several schemes exist that allow PhD and post-docs in industry
Bilateral contracts between university and company
EC Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA):
• Networks & doctoral schools (international): ITN, EID, EJD, …
• Individual fellowships: IF
Regional personal mandates – e.g. in Flanders, with support of IWT Vlaanderen:
• Baekeland PhD programme
• Innovation Mandate (spin-off company or industry collaboration/tech transfer)
When university is partner in an industrial R&D project (e.g. H2020, EUREKA, ITEA2 on European level, and IWT SBO / O&O / ICON on regional level in Flanders)

Hosting industrial PhDs: our experience
We have a long track record of hosting industrial PhD research:
EC Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA):
• We have been participating to the Marie Curie program since 1992 (from FP4 on)
• (One of) the most successful EC Program(s) to promote R&D Training and Mobility
• Networks (ITN) can be fertile ground for industrial PhD, when the consortium contains balanced representation of academia, research centers and industry
• Individual fellowships for postdoctoral research & mobility
Regional personal mandates:
• In Flanders: several participations in IWT Baekeland PhD program & IWT Innovation Mandate (and predecessor OZM) for postdoc R&D
• With UK university: EPSRC Engineering Doctorate (EngD)
Several PhDs achieved in the frame of R&D projects (EC, national, regional)

Trend for car industry: Smart Systems Driving the Innovation Agenda
Electrical & Electronic content in the vehicle value is increasing to over 40%
Up to 80% of future innovations will be based on the use of some form of “intelligent systems”
Focus areas: chassis, body and powertrain:
• Performance & Comfort: power, brand, drivability, noise.
• Economy and Green Driving engine and transmission control, energy management, electrification…
• Safe driving ABS, ESP, VDC, ADAS, V2V… up to smart infrastructure, V2I, autonomous vehicles…Source : Arthur D. Little surveys and analysis

Trend for car industry: Lightweight Body Design to meet CO2 emission norms
• Number 1 OEM change driver: fuel efficiency & emissions• Regulation push on max CO2 norms requires both
powertrain innovation and lightweight materials
• OEMs are challenged to look into innovation in materials• High strength (optimized) steels• Aluminum/Magnesium• Composites
• Potential weight gain to be obtained from Composite CFRP (carbon fibre reinforced polymer) is bigge(r/st)
• Currently challenged by relative cost of (high end) CFRP / % weight reduction & manufacturing challenges (complete re-investment in manufacturing processes needed)
• Only when significant weights are saved on body (20-30%), a ‘positive spiral’ of increased weight savings in driveline, chassis/suspension, closures … can be achieved

Lightweight design challenge for industry: Gaps in state of the art in predictive CAE for composites
• Stiffness, NVH (dynamic stiffness) predictable with reasonable accuracy
• Failure modes (Strength, durability, crash) much less predictable
• Many criteria available, none universally applicable

PhD career developmentin academia and in industry
• Perhaps 10% of PhDs will pursue
the academic ladder (up to full professor)
• 90% of starting PhDs will grow into
(leading) positions in industry and
society!
• And: industry determines the GDP, which is
positively correlated with university funding!
Conclusions for academia:
• Dual funnel role & responsibility!
• Equip PhD students with an open mind
towards industrial and societal issues,
and foster their skills to address them!
• This applies to doctoral schools, industry-
involved PhDs (as IWT Flanders Baekeland)
and the Marie Skłodowska-Curie programme

Option 1) we know the candidate already:
• As job student or thesis student at our premises
• As MSc student at a university we’re in touch with
• As R&D employee expressing interest into PhD
Option 2) we do not yet know a candidate for a new topic:
• Open call for applicants, evaluate incoming CVs
• Leverage our network of R&D contacts
Recruitment: how do we find the researchers, and how do the researchers find us?
Success factors for recruitment:
Right candidate for the project & right project for the candidate !
Relevant PhD topic in challenging and appealing R&D environment
Publish vacancy & contact the right network channels for candidates
Multiple Interviews (first telco, then face to face) with candidate, involving several colleagues two-way interaction: candidate gets to know us, and we get to know the candidate
Establish long-lasting relationships with academia and their students

Conclusions
Siemens PLM in Leuven helps mechanical & mechatronics industry to build better products thanks to advanced test and simulation solutions (products and services)
Continuous need for talented people, portfolio innovation & internationalization
Industrial PhD research is an important element of our R&D and HR strategy
Our R&D road map is driven by industry’s innovation agenda (green, smart, reliable)
We strongly believe in R&D partnering and building networks around the globe
We are very open to host motivated and good students in our R&D teams
We actively participate in the EC Marie Curie program already since FP4 (1992) and in regional programs funded by IWT (Baekeland, OZM/IM) and EPSRC EngD
We are happy to have developed a community of skilled Young Engineers … now employed at industries, research centers and universities worldwide, a lasting value network forever
