R&D Support

You will be part of Corporate Research in Västerås. We are the largest research center within ABB and have a strong competence in technology development supporting the innovation in both power technology and automation areas for the ABB Group. Our multicultural research center consists of approximately 250 scientists from 45 different countries.
Our target is to develop the foundations for the next generation of ABB products and systems. At the department of Power Technologies we work with Power Systems, Power Products and Electrical Machines. The group of Electrical Apparatus and Diagnostics perform core technology development activities within ABB related to products such as breakers, switches, contactors and tap changers.

Do you want to strengthen our team as an R&D Scientist during a short time assignment for 3 months? The task involves ? among other things ? to design, simulate and test an actual passive magnetic damper to decelerate objects in a timed and controlled manner. The target is to integrate this damper with an actuator and show the performance of the switch under both acceleration and deceleration.

The successful candidate holds a M.Sc. in Engineering Physics, Electrical Engineering or work experience from a similar area. Fluency in English is a requirement and knowledge in Swedish is meriting. As a person you are a creative team player with knowledge in tools such as Matlab and COMSOL.
