The opportunity

The design of high voltage (HV) devices, such as gas circuit breakers (CB) and gas insulated switchgear (GIS), requires - among others -simulations and experiments for verification of insulation and switching performance. Additionally, the research activities in the area of gas circuit breakers are enhanced by various computer-aided-engineering tools. We are looking for an intern student with expertise in computational chemistry to contribute to the development of novel insulating materials for high-voltage power grid applications. The superior goal is the achievement of high-end quality of the product. The duration of the internship is 6 to 12 months.

How you'll make an impact
* Contribute to technology development and research activities focusing on material analysis and characterization
* Support simulations of gas insulation systems using state of the art computational chemistry packages
* Study the relationship between microstructure and material characteristics and document findings and present test results to the team

Your background
* B.Sc. degree in Material Science, Chemistry, Physics or similar discipline with focus on computer-aided methods
* Programming skills and experience in computational chemistry is an advantage
* Fluency in written and spoken English
* Team player and well organized
* Creative and able to work autonomously
* Laboratory and experimental experience is a plus
