Arbetsbeskrivning

Are you knowledgeable in System analysis for electrification, Electric air-, land- and water-based vehicles, and Charging infrastructure? Are you a team player with a research mind to make a change? Then you might be the person we’re looking for!

Sweden is facing a gigantic transformation of the energy system, and in that transformation, RISE will play a big part. Together with industry, academia, and the public sector, we develop competitive solutions and conditions that drive sustainable development forward. Do you want to become one of us? We hope so!

About us

At Electromobility we are focusing on research within the area of electrification, from power electronics integration to complete system analysis where mobility is part of the Energy infrastructure.

When the societal challenges become more complex, a powerful innovation partner is needed to offer a solid support and contribute with several perspectives. The unit Electromobility performs customer adapted research, contributes with expertise and strategical advice, and drives innovation through national and EU-funded projects. We are currently a team of 8 people, consisting of researchers and research engineers, all working in various research projects together with Swedish and International partners.

We collaborate with large and smaller companies, institutes, universities, and colleges around common challenges. We are now expanding our unit in the aim of supporting our partners in the transformation towards a sustainable energy- and transport system. And we want you to be part of the journey — actively driving development forward through research.

Location is Gothenburg or Stockholm but could also be adapted to one of our other offices in Sweden. We follow a hybrid work model, allowing you to split your working time between the offices and your home office. To strengthen team collaboration, you are encouraged to work from the office a few days a week.

About the role

Focus for the position is the electrification of the vehicle fleet in society, from the air-, land- and water-based vehicles to the charging infrastructure and V2G. As a researcher in our group, you will work with analysis on system level where electrical fleets are integrated with the energy system. You will work with research projects including coding, simulation, literature studies and analysis, with writing applications for National and European funding calls as well as reports and articles when suitable.

Questions, among others, that are typically interesting for us:

- How can electrified vehicles be effectively integrated into the charging infrastructure?

- How can electrified vehicles be an active power and energy source in the electric grid?

- What are the consequences of full or substantial vehicle electrification?

Within our unit we focus on electrification from different perspectives and shifts over time and how to create sustainable solutions for the future. Your work is important to support the transformation of the industry. Our team is the hub within RISE electrification research, and you will be able to complement our internal and external networks with your unique competence.

You will be an important team player in a dedicated and innovative group with large competence, that value a close cooperation within the team, with other departments and of course also with our external partners

Who are you?

To succeed in this role, we believe you are analytical, flexible, and dynamic. You thrive working both independently and as part of a team, and you naturally apply scientific methods when approaching complex challenges. You work systematically and creatively to find solutions, while also engaging colleagues to contribute their expertise. Externally, you will build and maintain a broad network across industry, public actors, and academia to establish strong, cross sectoral consortias. Internally, you will work closely with key RISE units to advance electrification to its full potential.

Required qualifications

• Master of Science or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, or Automotive Systems

• At least a couple of years of professional experience in electromobility or electrical systems

• Project management skills sufficient to lead parts of a project or smaller projects

• Strong communication skills in English, both written and spoken

Meriting qualifications

• Proficiency in Swedish, both written and spoken

• Previous experience in research application writing

• Previous experience in research or development projects

• Previous experience from electrical drivelines and charging systems

• Knowledge in data handling, control systems and system analysis

Are we a good match?

Be part of the shift toward a more sustainable future. Electrification is a cornerstone in achieving just that. As a researcher, you’ll work with cutting-edge science in a collaborative environment where innovation happens together.

The role offers great freedom to explore and drive development forward - perfect for someone who thrives in a dynamic and forward-thinking setting.
