Research Scientist – Experimental Reliability Physics

This role focuses on reliability research for power grid assets, applying physics-of-failure principles through experimental research to understand degradation mechanisms.

Your tasks

• Lead and contribute to cross-functional reliability engineering projects
• Design and execute experiments on degradation and failure mechanisms under realistic conditions
• Develop novel experimental approaches to validate scientific hypotheses
• Collaborate with a global team of researchers and engineers
• Disseminate results through scientific publications, patent applications and technical reports

What you bring

• PhD in experimental physics, materials science, electrical engineering or related field
• Expertise in physics of failure, root-cause analysis and reliability modeling
• Hands-on experience designing experiments and using advanced materials characterization techniques
• Strong data analysis skills and accurate interpretation of results
• Industry or post-doctoral experience in energy technology or related industries is a plus
• Fluency in English, written and spoken

Conditions

• Workload: 100 %
• Work model: On site
• Option of a permanent position after the assignment if both sides want it

What to expect

• 3–6 months interim, then a permanent position
