Internship / Working student / Master Thesis student (m/f/d) Novel Electromagnetic Actuators for Future Power Apparatus

Take your next career step at ABB with a global team that is energizing the transformation of society and industry to achieve a more productive, sustainable future. At ABB, we have the clear goal of driving diversity and inclusion across all dimensions: gender, LGBTQ+, abilities, ethnicity and generations. Together, we are embarking on a journey where each and every one of us, individually and collectively, welcomes and celebrates individual differences.

Your role and responsibilities

Industrial research within the context of future energy grids in a dynamic and international research center of a leading company.
Analysis and synthesis of modern, unconventional and highlydynamic electrical drives.
A detailed landscape study, learning about current technical solutions of ABB and other proposals from the scientific literature.
A conceptualization and design study, which can vary from novel concept generation using a pen and paper to a detailed technical solution proposal using stateoftheart modeling and simulation methods that consider mutual influences between the electrical, magnetic, and mechanical domains. Experimental work would also be included in the scope to validate the theoretical analysis in certain cases.
Documenting the relevant findings and presenting the key results to the team.

Qualifications for the role

• You are studying for a master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a similar field.
• You have solid theoretical knowledge in the analysis and design of electrical machinery.
• You have experience in special electrical drives (e.g. nonconventional electromagnetic actuators) or coupled electromagneticmechanical simulations is beneficial.
• You have handson laboratory skills in power electronics, electrical machines and/or drives are an advantage.
• You are fluent in English (written and oral).
