Master Student Program (f/m/d) - Electric Stress Evaluation in Transformer Insulation

The opportunity

We are offering a Master Student Program in the field of high-voltage transformer insulation and electric field
analysis.
The program focuses on the evaluation of electric stresses in continuously transposed conductors (CTC) and shielding structures, combining finite element simulations (FEM) with analytical calculation methods.
This position provides hands-on experience in industrial R&D, allowing students to work on real engineering challenges while completing their Master's studies.
