As Austria's largest research and technology organisation for applied research, we have set ourselves the goal of making substantial contributions to solving the major challenges of our time, climate change and digitalisation. To achieve our goals, we rely on our specific research, development and technology competencies, which are the basis of our commitment to excellence in all areas. With our open culture of innovation and our motivated, international teams, we are working to position AIT as Austria's leading research institution at the highest international level and to make a positive contribution to the economy and society.

Our Center for Energy develops sustainable solutions for the future energy system, taking into account technological, regulatory and economic requirements. The topic portfolio is based on three central systems: Public Energy Supply Systems, Industrial Energy Systems and Cities & Built Environment.

As part of our international and interdisciplinary team “High Efficiency Power Electronics”, you will work in modern research and testing laboratories and focus on the development of innovative power electronic solutions for future electric vehicles and stationary applications and components.

• You work in national and European funded projects, contributing to the development of next generation power electronics.
• You apply your expertise as a BMS and power electronics developer for topology and component selection, circuit design, and hardware/software implementation.
• You develop and integrate hardware/software for battery management systems, traction inverters, onboard chargers, as well as DC/DC converters, and commission them.
• You engage in programming BMS control and SOX algorithms for the operation of battery storage systems.
• You simulate energy flow and electrical circuits and optimise power electronics in terms of efficiency, power density, and reliability.

• You write impactful scientific publications and present them at national and international conferences.
• You contribute to the development of novel methods and prototypes for our industry partners and help therefore to design better, faster, and sustainable products.
• You give input for new strategic research ideas, that will contribute to the growth of our unit’s research project portfolio.
• Through your input for new strategic research ideas, innovative results and customer-oriented approach, you will contribute to the success of our current research project portfolio and support our industry partners to roll out their new products to the market.
