Scientific Researcher (Electrical Engineering) | Elektroingenieur (m/w/d)

Job Summary

This three-year position as a Scientific Researcher at the TU Dresden's Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology focuses on cutting-edge research in High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission systems. The core responsibility involves fundamentally investigating discharge behavior in atmospheric air when subjected to non-standard impulse voltage forms, which deviate from typical insulation coordination standards. Day-to-day tasks include designing and setting up experiments to generate these non-standard voltage forms, conducting detailed experimental studies on discharge initiation and propagation under various influences (including superimposed DC voltage and electrode temperature), and developing a multiphysical computational model using Finite Element Method (FEM) software to verify experimental results. Candidates must hold a Master's degree in Electrical Power Engineering or a related discipline and demonstrate proficiency in FEM modeling and independent experimental execution. This role offers a unique opportunity for scientific advancement, typically leading to a Ph.D. qualification, within one of Germany's top research institutions.
