The opportunity
Join our innovative team and contribute to the future of energy technology. You will support the development of SF6-free high-voltage circuit breakers and help improve our dielectric evaluation tools. This internship offers hands-on experience with simulations, data analysis, and testing in a collaborative environment. You will learn from experts, grow your technical skills, and make a real impact. Are you ready to make a difference?
How you’ll make an impact
-
Use the internally developed dielectric evaluation tools and contribute to their maintenance and evolution
-
Data post-processing, analysis and evaluation of internally performed breakdown measurements, and test results; update of breakdown data base
-
Collaborate in high voltage circuit breaker development project teams related to dielectric design; support the design process with breaker E-field simulations, basic tests, or optimizations.
-
Literature search on recent work regarding breakdown/flashover in technically relevant conditions, also including gases alternative to SF6, data extraction (includes field simulations, e.g., Comsol)
Your background
-
Student (preferably Master-level) in Physics, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
-
Above average proficiency and interest in programming (e.g., Python and/or Matlab, Excel)
-
Fluency in written and spoken English
-
Knowledge in High-Voltage Engineering and/or experience with electromagnetic simulations, experience with CAD software (e.g. Creo) are a plus
-
Ability to work in a team, as well as willingness to handle responsibilities independently
