Senior Researcher in Electrical Power Engineering

Do you want to contribute to the digital transformation of the power grid and work at the forefront of Swedish electric power research? With us, you'll have the opportunity to influence a rapidly changing area – and build strong relationships with industry and our research partners. About Us High Voltage in the Measurement Technology department is a unit conducting research, development, and TIC activities (Testing, Inspection, Calibration) in high voltage, high current, electrical power, energy, and power quality in Borås, where our laboratories are located. In addition, parts of the assignments are carried out on-site with our customers worldwide or together with our research partners. The unit consists of two groups with a total of 25 employees - engineers, research and development engineers. The work is characterized by stability, collaboration, and a strong team spirit. About the Role As a Senior Researcher, you'll have the opportunity to work on electrification related to the power grid with a greater focus on details rather than an overall system level. As we are experts in measurement techniques related to high voltage, electrical power, and energy, this is our foundation, but we apply it across a broad area. From challenges with high-voltage equipment, high-voltage measurements, partial discharges, power grid digitalization such as digital substations, PMUs, to power quality-related issues like harmonic measurements, etc. Since we operate in a broad area of electric power, there are great opportunities to shape the role based on your knowledge and area of interest. We are in an expansive phase, and you'll have the opportunity to combine research and development with expert contributions in other projects where your expertise helps strengthen the overall effort. The role involves close internal collaboration across RISE, where we promote cross-functional cooperation between different units, departments, and areas to develop strong and relevant research projects. Externally, we collaborate with manufacturing industry, power grid companies, academia, and other research institutes, and we are also active in standardization. An important part of your role is being an active contact person, identifying new research areas as well as customer needs and contributing to shaping relevant projects. You'll have access to a strong network in the field and are expected to expand and nurture this network. You will report to the Group Manager, and the job location is Borås with some possibility of remote work. The work involves a few travel days per year. Note that this position may require a security clearance, either later in this process or in the future. Who Are You? You are a business-driven researcher with strong collaborative abilities and good communication skills. You thrive in the intersection of technology, research, and industry, and easily build relationships and create trust. You are unpretentious, curious, and able to combine research questions with industrial understanding. Requirements: • Several years of experience in electric power, measurement technology, power grid, high voltage, or laboratory activities in the relevant area for the role • PhD in electric power with a focus on electric power/high voltage • Excellent Swedish and English skills, both verbal and written • B driver's license Meritorious Work experience in one of the following areas: • Applicable AI/ML related to the power grid • Power quality • High-voltage products (e.g., cables) • Experience with calibration in relevant areas Are We Right for Each Other? At RISE, we value diversity and believe that different perspectives contribute to innovative solutions. In a dynamic environment, you'll have the opportunity to develop both personally and professionally and make a real difference.
