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.

In this role, you will help defining development opportunities in the ABB power device and switchgear portfolio through to-the-application designed experimental setups as well as electrical and thermal testing laboratories. Together with scientists, you specify requirements and develop novel protection concepts for evolving applications, such as microgrids, integration of energy storage, or new topologies for a sustainable energy generation and distribution.

You connect the research requirements with the needed laboratory resources by providing modern solutions for electrical and thermal testing infrastructure.

Reporting to the Team Manager – Power Device Physics, you will engage with cross-functional teams inside and outside the company and work together to demonstrate these concepts in prototypes serving as starting points for products. Further, you will contribute to the definition of future testing infrastructure needs and projects.
