Your role in the team

  • Network-forming control regulations play a central role in the stability of future energy systems. In this working student position, you will assist in the development of automated testing methods and contribute to validating control functions efficiently, transparently, and in accordance with standards.
  • In this role, you will work closely with development, testing, and commissioning teams and gain insights into modern technologies in energy engineering.
  • Test automation - Analyze normative requirements for network-forming regulations and translate them into automated test procedures with MATLAB/Simulink. This way, you actively contribute to the quality assurance of future energy systems.
  • Simulation & Validation - Prepare, execute, and evaluate tests in simulation environments, on hardware-in-the-loop systems, and in the laboratory. The insights gained help to reliably assess control and regulation functions.
  • Development & Integration - Contribute to the development and further development of model-based control and regulation functions in MATLAB/Simulink and support the implementation of technical requirements.
  • Analysis & Optimization - Systematically examine test results, analyze complex error patterns, and identify the causes of technical deviations together with experienced developers.
  • Documentation & Collaboration - Document test cases, test environments, and testing methodologies to ensure maintainability and reusability. At the same time, you assist with the commissioning of devices and systems and integrate into a team that rethinks energy and shapes change.
