Internship in Mechanical and System Simulations for High Voltage Circuit Breakers 80 - 100% (f/m/d) Nouveau
The opportunity
At Hitachi Energy, you’ll join a global leader in power transmission and distribution. Our High Voltage Products unit in Zurich-Oerlikon offers you a unique internship of at least 6 months in the interrupter development team. You will work in a diverse, international environment alongside experienced engineers and scientists. This is your chance to grow your skills in simulation, data analysis, and mechanical systems while contributing to real R&D projects.
How you’ll make an impact
- System simulations of circuit breakers using Dymola
- Pre and post processing of simulation models and results
- Finite element analysis of components using ABAQUS
- Data post-processing and analysis with Python
- Support development of in-house simulation libraries
- Collaborate with engineers on real-world R&D projects
- Contribute to performance evaluations of circuit breakers
- Gain hands-on experience in high-voltage technology
Your background
- Student (preferably Master-level) in Physics, Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, or a related field
- Basic knowledge of simulations associated with mechanical and electrical engineering applications
- Knowledge of mechanics and material strength (practical skills in ABAQUS or similar finite element code is advantageous)
- Above-average knowledge of and interest in Python programming, coupled with knowledge and practical skills in the Modelica and Dymola languages
- Ability to work in a team, as well as willingness to handle responsibilities independently
- Fluent in English, both written and spoken
