What you will do

You can contribute to the further development of test benches for large wind turbine components and independently perform tests on them or measuring electrical properties. You can also get involved in material testing or the automation of processes. If you are more interested in testing your methods in the real world, you can run measurement campaigns on wind turbines in the field, prepare and follow up on wind measurement campaigns, or investigate the subsoil offshore. If simulation is more your area, you can run simulations of wind farm sites. For those interested in hydrogen, you can conduct electrochemical investigations of electrolysis and fuel cell components to test their efficiency in operation. We work in close cooperation with industry and other research institutes in the scope of national and international research projects, which means thrilling projects in the administration and technical areas are always waiting for you around the corner. We support each other irrespective of the focus of our work and our backgrounds.
