Research Team Manager - Mechanisms & Actuators

__

Looking for a taste of working life in an international, future-focused corporate group? Then join us as an intern/master thesis student (m/f/d) and familiarize yourself with our industrial research team for a minimum of 6 months. You will be involved in large-scale projects and perform a defined set of duties independently. Use your time at ABB Corporate Research to build a network and help us develop future-proof technologies.

Key responsibilities

The work model for the role is: #LI-Hybrid

You will contribute to technology scouting activities focused on the electromagnetic design of novel actuators. You will explore alternative design approaches and materials for next-generation actuator topologies.

You will be mainly accountable for:

• Conducting a comprehensive literature review to identify state-of-the-art and emerging trends in electromagnetic actuator design.

• Investigating alternative actuator topologies and materials, evaluating their potential for given industrial applications.

• Developing system-level simulation models that couple finite element analysis (FEA), control and power electronics as well as mechanical loads.

• Benchmarking different actuator concepts based on various performance criteria.

• Collaborating closely with experienced engineers and researchers to evaluate findings and derive recommendations.

• Documentation of the work and presentation to different ABB stakeholders.

Qualifications for the role

• You are currently enrolled in a Master's program in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics or a related technical field.

• You have solid theoretical background in electromagnetics and electrical machines. Familiarity with limited-stroke actuators or magnetic materials is desirable.

• You have experience with electromagnetic simulation tools such as ANSYS Maxwell, COMSOL Multiphysics or FEMM.

• You have strong analytical skills and ability to conduct systematic literature and patent research.

• You are interested in sustainable technologies and alternative design approaches for electromagnetic devices.

• You bring hands-on experience with test setups involving electrical machines or actuators.

• Proficiency in English with the ability to convey technical findings effectively in reports and presentations.
