Technician to support the High Voltage Technologies section

We have 1 open position (part-time or full-time) to support the High Voltage Technologies (HVT) section. We are looking for someone with:

• Experience in Altium Designer, Eagle or similar
• Knowledge of power electronics, control and signal processing
• Affinity with measurement of signals using high-end data acquisition instruments ( e.g. Tektronix MSO5)
• Passion for learning and working with new techniques and new equipment.

You can function well both independently and in a team. You know how to set priorities. You are accurate and have a good eye for detail. What's more, your vision is that you will never stop learning.

The successful candidate will support the researchers and students of the HVT section with focus on the high voltage materials and components for large-scale integration of renewables to the grid and testing for a power electronics dominated hybrid AC/DC grid.

We offer an full-time / part-time appointment, with an anticipated date in spring 2023. You will become a member of the ESP Lab section, headed by Lab Manager Sandra Dordevic. Members of the ESP Lab are responsible for the research equipment of the research groups and take care of the infrastructure of the ESP Lab. Your work will be focused on the support of the HVT section. This position offers excellent opportunities to work in a dynamic team consisting of experts from academia, utilities, and manufacturers.

About the department

The research in the department of Electrical Sustainable Energy is inspired by the technical, scientific, and societal challenges originating from the transition towards a more sustainable society and focuses on four areas:

• DC Systems, Energy Conversion and Storage (DCE&S)
• Photovoltaic Materials and Devices (PVMD)
• Intelligent Electrical Power Grids (IEPG)
• High Voltage Technologies (HVT)

The Electrical Sustainable Energy department provides expertise in each of these areas throughout the entire energy system chain. The department owns a large ESP Laboratory assembling High Voltage testing, DC Grids testing environment, and a large RTDS that is actively used for real-time simulation of future electrical power systems, AC and DC protection, and wide-area monitoring and protection.

The High Voltage Technologies (HVT) section, headedby Professor Peter Vaessen, is responsible for research and education in the fieldsof High Voltage AC and DC. Both power and non-power applications are covered with voltage ranges between 1kV to 800kV.The objective is greening the grid with innovative insulation solutions to accelerate the energy transition.
