The open exchange and cooperation, also beyond team boundaries and locations, are particularly important to us.

You work with us in parallel in various research and industrial projects. Your tasks range from the support during the commissioning of a converter test stand to the optimization and extension of other test stands with a focus on the "Power-Hardware-in-the-loop" approach. You work with various real-time systems, set network models and develop test methods for generating measurement data for model validation of harmonic and EMT models. You will document your results in scientific reports and publications.

You carry out tasks in project management and, at the time, the management of individual research and industrial projects. In addition, take the test stand service and work actively during testing. The projects are in close cooperation with national and international customers and project partners.

This brings you a
