Lund University, Faculty of Engineering, LTH, Dep. of Biomedical Engineering

Lund University was founded in 1666 and is repeatedly ranked among the world’s top universities. The University has around 47 000 students and more than 8 800 staff based in Lund, Helsingborg and Malmö. We are united in our efforts to understand, explain and improve our world and the human condition.

Lund University welcomes applicants with diverse backgrounds and experiences. We regard gender equality and diversity as a strength and an asset.

Description of the workplace 

The position is located at the Division of Industrial Electrical Engineering and Automation ,IEA , LTH, Lund University. Our mission is to conduct research and provide education on how electrical energy systems can be developed for a sustainable future, particularly with regard to technology and systems for electrical and electromechanical energy conversion. The department has extensive experimental activities in both undergraduate education and research. The activities are located at LTH in Lund and at LTH Campus Helsingborg. 

Our laboratories are specially designed to carry out advanced experiments in power electronic and electromechanical energy conversion on systems up to 200 kW and 1500 V. These include detailed measurements and modeling of components and systems. This particular project involves modeling electric drive systems for electric cars, especially loss formation and thermal modeling. 

You will be part of an international team of engineers and researchers, working together with the department’s research leaders and doctoral students. The team’s role includes the design of components and systems in power electronic and electromechanical energy conversion, related measurement systems, and model building and analysis.

We offer 

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

Required qualifications for the position are:

• knowledge of electromagnetic circuits and loss formation in electromagnetic circuits 
• knowledge and experience of the design, construction, and use of simulation models for electromagnetic circuits and related loss formation in software tools such as Comsol
• knowledge and experience of the design, construction, and use of measurement systems for electromagnetic circuits and related loss formation in tools such as LabView 
• educational level equivalent to a master’s degree in electrical engineering or similar 
• good problem-solving and collaboration skills, as the work is carried out in an international diverse team
• good knowledge of spoken and written English

 

Additional qualifications for the position are:

• independence and initiative, demonstrated in a similar work environment 
• recent experience of developing test rigs with control and measurement systems for the applications described 
• knowledge/experience of MATLAB, LabVIEW, CompactRIO, Comsol

We place great emphasis on personal qualities and would like to see a demonstrated ability to learn and adapt in a changing multicultural environment. 

We would like to see applicants who are driven and service-oriented, motivated by helping others and solving problems.

Consideration will also be given to how the applicant’s experience and skills complement and strengthen ongoing research within the department, and how they stand to contribute to its future development.
