Experimental Physicist (80 - 100%)
At ABB, we are dedicated to addressing global challenges. Our core values: care, courage, curiosity, and collaboration
- combined with a focus on diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunities - are key drivers in our aim to empower
everyone to create sustainable solutions. Write the next chapter of your ABB story.
This position reports to
R&D Team Lead
Your role and responsibilities
In this role, you will define engineering opportunities for the ABB switchgear portfolio. You will specify
requirements and develop novel protection concepts for evolving applications such as microgrids, energy storage
systems, or new topologies for a sustainable energy generation and distribution. You will perform experiments, model
the underlying physical phenomena and utilize state-of-the-art simulations to develop new protection solutions for
medium and low voltage grids. Reporting to the research team manager, you will engage with cross-functional teams
inside and outside the company and work together to demonstrate these concepts in prototypes serving as starting points
for products. Further, you will contribute to the definition of the team research roadmap and to the management of the
research projects. Reporting to the research team manager, you will engage with cross-functional teams inside and

research in the area of system protection and switching • Developing sustainable protection solutions for upcoming
applications of switchgear, e.g. for reliable energy distribution, grid integration of renewable energies or
integration of energy storage systems • Apply advanced simulation tools to survey and validate sophisticated protection
concepts • Contribute to the planning, setup, and execution of experiments • Driving research activities, generating
intellectual property, and writing scientific publications • Closely cooperate with scientists and engineers from
universities and global ABB divisions
Qualifications for the role
- PhD in physics or electrical engineering
- Experience in practical laboratory applying measurement techniques and data analysis
- Knowledge and experience of applying state-of-the-art simulations, such as CFD, FEM, MHD.
