R&D Internship in Applied Physics for High Voltage Testing and Simulations 80 - 100% (f/m/d) NUOVO
The opportunity
Join our team in designing high voltage (HV) devices like gas circuit breakers (CB) or gas insulated switchgears (GIS). This internship position involves simulations and experiments to assess insulation and switching performance using various computer-aided engineering tools. You will also contribute to experimental work in high-voltage lab with the set up and execution of experiments, and the analysis of test data. The duration of this internship shall be minimum 6 months with the possibility to extend it up to 12 months.
How you’ll make an impact
- Prepare, execute, and evaluate experiments in High Voltage labs (up to 400 kV)
- Analyze experimental results and benchmark findings against existing theoretical models in collaboration with research colleagues
- Perform electric field simulations using various experimental geometries
- Document work in internal scientific reports
Your background
- Student enrolled in Master program in Applied Physics or Electrical Engineering with strong interest in High Voltage engineering and experimental work
- Fluent English language, both written and spoken
- Experience in HV labs and experimental work in applied physics is highly advantageous
- Proficiency in at least one programming language for data analysis (e.g., Python, MATLAB)
- Knowledge of simulation tools (e.g., COMSOL) and CAD tools (e.g., Creo) is considered an asset
- Ability to work independently while contributing to a larger team effort
- Enthusiasm for applying scientific knowledge to concrete energy challenges
