Modelling complex thermal/electrical systems and deploying AI-driven tools to optimize industrial efficiency and renewable energy integration.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop principle-based models to evaluate the technical and economic performance of renewable energy systems (PV, Solar Thermal, Hydrogen, etc.) and industrial waste heat recovery.
• Apply a deep understanding of heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and electrical governing equations to simulate complex energy conversion processes.
• Analyze high-dimensional data to maximize energy output, thermal management, and overall system efficiency across diverse industrial environments.
• Architect and simulate large-scale energy facilities to create Digital Twins that mirror real-world performance with high precision.
• Develop and deploy real-time control tools for the optimized management of energy plants, ensuring the seamless synergy between mechanical, electrical, and automation layers.
• Implement ML-based forecasting methods to enhance system reliability, driving the transition from standard predictive maintenance to advanced Preventive and Prescriptive strategies.
• Design and manage large-scale data pipelines for real-time analysis.
• Deploy cloud-based decision-support tools (DSS) to optimize energy distribution, storage, and performance.
• Stay at the forefront of global R&D in energy generation and storage, proactively integrating cutting-edge findings into active projects.
• Collaborative spirit for multidisciplinary teams and excellent communication skills for international consortiums.
• Actively engage with international partners and stakeholders within the EU framework.

Requirements

• PhD or MSc in Mechanical/Energy Engineering, Physics, or a related field with a strong focus on modeling.
• Professional proficiency in English is essential, as you will be responsible for drafting technical deliverables and engaging in high-level discussions within international consortiums.
• Drive to lead their own work and the curiosity to explore the state-of-the-art to propose innovative solutions beyond the established project scope.

We Offer

• Horizontal structure ensuring freedom to propose and execute solutions without bureaucratic barriers from day one.
• Fully flexible schedule to maintain a work-life balance.
• A work environment that cares, supports, and inspires by focusing on every team member’s financial, mental, physical, and emotional needs.
• An organization built on trust, cooperation, and equity, providing safety and accountability to propose and execute your own ideas from day one.
• A senior team acting as a safety net to guide and support you while you develop your full potential in the field of applied computational science.
