Job Description

Engineer*in Modeling & Validation of Simulation Models of Wind TurbinesThe Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft (www.fraunhofer.de) currently operates 76 institutes and research facilities in Germany and is one of the leading organizations for application-oriented research. Around 32,000 employees generate an annual research volume of 3.4 billion euros. This is us...At the Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy Systems IWES, the energy transition is becoming a reality every day. Our focus areas are offshore wind energy, hydrogen, testing infrastructure, and digitalization. More than 400 employees – including around 100 students – from over 50 countries work at nine locations in scientific and non-scientific teams to develop innovative methods to accelerate the expansion of the wind energy and hydrogen industries, minimize risks, and increase cost efficiency. Do you want to work with us to shape the future sustainably? This team is looking for you...You will join the "Overall Plant Dynamics" group at the Bremerhaven location. The group is researching methods for the simulation and validation of wind turbines (WTs). For this purpose, the "Modelica Library for Wind Turbines (MoWiT)" simulation model is being developed and used for real-time simulation in a hardware-in-the-loop environment, as well as for the automated simulation and optimization of WTs. The team currently consists of four employees and several students. We support each other regardless of projects and backgrounds. Open exchange and cooperation, even across team boundaries and locations, are particularly important to us.
