Ihre Aufgaben
At our site in Bremerhaven, we focus on testing and validating of components of wind turbines and for hydrogen production, field measurements on turbines or offshore, and logistical issues and site analysis covering all aspects related to the installation of new wind farms. We are always looking for active support, which offers you insights into the latest research and development projects. Are you wondering what that would look like? For example, you can apply your knowledge and skills in hydrogen technology by supporting the electrochemical investigations of electrolysis and fuel cell components. Would you rather work on one of our test benches for large components for wind turbines? At the nacelle test bench, you can work on grid integration, while our rotor blade test bench offers exciting challenges in the further development of test and measurement methods. Perhaps you are more interested in software development? Or maybe you enjoy modeling? We are still the right place to be with our work on creating digital twins of components and test rigs, and due to our software that supports the logistical planning of offshore wind farm installations. You can also get out of the lab and test the methods you have developed in the real world by assisting with measurement campaigns on wind turbines in the field or by preparing and following up on wind measurement campaigns with our lidar buoy. Get actively involved; we are keen to hear your ideas! As an international oriented IWES-team, we highly appreciate an open exchange, whether this be in German or English. Respectful cooperation is also very important to us.
