Research Engineer In Industrial Electrical Engineering

Research Engineer In Industrial Electrical Engineering

Lund University was founded in 1666 and is repeatedly ranked among the world's top universities. The University has around 46,000 students and 8,500 staff based in Lund, Helsingborg, and Malmö. We are united in our efforts to understand, explain, and improve our world and the human condition.

The position is located at the Division of Industrial Electrical Engineering and Automation, IEA, LTH, Lund University. We conduct cutting-edge research and education on how electrical energy systems can be developed for a sustainable future, not least regarding technology and systems for electrical and electromechanical energy conversion. The division has extensive experimental activities in both undergraduate education and research. The activities are located at LTH in Lund and at LTH Campus Helsingborg.

Our recently renovated laboratories are specially designed for advanced experiments in power electronics and electromechanical energy conversion on systems up to 200 kW power and 1500 V. The experiments include detailed measurements and modelling of components and systems.

You will be part of an international team of engineers and researchers, who collaborate with tPIs and doctoral students at the division. The team's role includes, among other things, the design of components and systems within power electronics and electromechanical energy conversion, related measurement systems, model building, and analysis.

Lund University is a public authority which means that employees get particular benefits, generous annual leave, and an advantageous occupational pension scheme.

You will be responsible for various forms of laboratory activities at the division, both in undergraduate education and research. This means, among other things, that you prepare, purchase components, build, maintain, demount, and document laboratory setups in undergraduate education. You will also actively participate in the development of new laboratory setups. You will have the opportunity to support and supervise students in the laboratory parts of their degree project.

You will play an important role in many of the division's research projects. This may mean that you, in collaboration with PhD-students and their supervisors, design and build both prototypes and special equipment. You will also be responsible for maintenance, repairs, and calibration of technical equipment at the division. This also includes managing supplies, documentation, and updating the equipment, as well as ongoing planning of purchases when the need arises.

In your duties you also handle the division's chemicals and participate in safety and risk analyses for the work in the division's workshops and laboratories. You will collaborate with other divisions within LTH. We strive to mutually benefit from the specialized knowledge and equipment available at LTH's various divisions and departments.

The tasks may change over time based on the needs of the division.

Required qualifications for the position are:

• good knowledge in mechanics and electrical circuit theory, both in signal and power electronics
• good knowledge of instruments and electrical circuits used in the specific field of technology
• good ability to build and repair lab setups, prototypes, and associated measurement and control systems
• experience from working in a workshop, i.e. turning and milling
• engineering degree with relevant specialization
• good communication and collaboration skills while being able to work independently
• good language skills in English, both spoken and written

Additional qualifications for the position are:

• experience in development, design, and prototyping
• experience in various programming in different software (e.g. PLC, LabView, Simulink/dSpace)
• experience in CAD for building prototype rigs, as well as circuit boards
• experience in using 3D printing systems
• experience from being responsible for computer networks or maintaining/updating software for computer-based control systems
• that you can take initiative on your own

Consideration will also be given to how the applicant's experience and skills complement and strengthen ongoing administrative work within the division, and how they stand to contribute to its future development.

Permanent employment, scope 100%. Probationary employment may be applied. Start after agreement.

Applications are to be submitted via the University's recruitment system. The application should include a CV and a personal letter justifying your interest in the position and how it matches your qualifications. The application should also include degree certificates or equivalent and any other document to which you would like to draw attention (copies of grade transcripts, details of referees, letters of recommendation, etc.)

We look forward to receiving your application!
