Germany: Research Engineer / Scientist in the Field of Electrical Systems,

European Institute for Energy Research (EIFER)

The European Institute for Energy Research (EIFER) is a non-profit research organization located in Karlsruhe; its Members are EDF and Universität Karlsruhe (TH). EIFER aims at developing innovative clean energy technologies, as well as tools and approaches for the sustainable development of cities and industries.

We are looking for a Research engineer / scientist in the field of electrical systems to join the Distributed Generation Group.

The candidate should have a PhD or an engineering degree in the field of electric power systems. The position is dedicated to distributed generation systems and their integration into an overall energy system. The candidate will develop the required communication solutions so as to ensure the correct monitoring of numerous on site experiments. Data management and data processing solutions will also have to be addressed. Operation, monitoring and assessment of Combined Heat and Power systems are part of the work.

Working within a large collaborative project, the candidate will also improve integration and automation of distributed generation systems, through the development of innovative control strategies for small-power systems. The candidate should thus have skills and experience in the field of automation (hardware and software).

The position on offer is within a team of several people, mostly concerned with the development and the assessment of small power energy generation systems. There will be an important component of lab experimentation to complement the development work.

Fluency in German and English are mandatory. Knowledge of French would be appreciated.
