Stelle frei: Ab sofort

Beschreibung

If you are an ambitious engineer with experience in stability analysis and optimization in energy grids and if you have additional experience with industrial software/data, we have an exciting opportunity for you. We are looking for someone who would like to apply his/her knowledge in a challenging and fascinating environment and join our team of passionate researchers. In this role, you will help us develop the next generation of ABB electrification and automation systems. This is your chance to contribute together with us to a sustainable energy transition.

We are seeking a highly qualified scientist/engineer in the field of electrical engineering and control with a background in energy distribution or a similar field. You should also have additional expertise in software development or optimization. Your key focus will be to develop innovative software solutions to drive the energy transition, digitalization, and optimization in industrial grids and electrification. To that end, you will conduct applied research in those fields and initiate, lead and participate in corresponding projects.You will work on the fascinating boundary of research and product development within an international team of highly motivated scientists. As a member of our research group, you will cover everything from problem definition, data exploration, and simulation to modelling, software development and project management. Your work will enable new ways of operating, maintaining, controlling, and optimizing industrial energy grid systems. Your technical and cross-cultural communication skills will be required to establish the link between internal research, external research, academia, and ABB's international business lines.Your responsibilities
Develop and apply algorithms to analyze the stability of grids and distribute the available energy efficiently to increase renewable energy usage while maintaining robust operation.
Work on solutions to reduce energy consumption and emissions.
Validate concepts by high-quality software prototypes and demonstrators.
Gather domain requirements and develop use cases for international, multi-disciplinary research projects.
Communicate project results and complex solutions to expert and senior management audiences.
Publish results at scientific conferences, create intellectual property and work in committees.
Build strategic partnerships with international academia and work in public funded projects.
