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 switchgear portfolio through applied research. 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 experimental research with modelling the underlying physical phenomena and utilizing state-of-the-art simulations to develop new protection solutions.

Reporting to the Team Manager – Switchgear, 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 the team research roadmap and to the management of the research projects.

Your responsibilities
  • Conducting applied research in the area of switching
  • Contribute to the planning, setup, and execution of experiments
  • Developing new technologies for sustainable protection solutions in upcoming applications of switchgear, e.g. for grid integration of renewable energies, integration of energy storage or microgrids
  • Apply advanced simulation tools to survey and validate sophisticated protection concepts
  • Driving research activities, generating intellectual property and writing scientific publications
  • Closely cooperate with scientists and engineers from universities and global ABB divisions
Your background
  • Experience in practical laboratory work, including experimental setup, advanced measurement techniques and data analysis
  • Knowledge and experience of applying state-of-the-art simulations is an asset
  • Background in plasma physics, dielectrics or an area with relevance to electrical switchgear is advantageous but not a must
  • A collaborative, solution-focused approach, with strong written and spoken communication skills, as well as relationship-building skills
  • PhD in physics
  • Strong communication skills in English (both written and spoken), German is a plus

Benefits
  • Canteen
  • Childcare
  • Flexible work practices
