We are seeking a Project Officer or Research Assistant to support our research and testing initiatives in power electronics for medium-voltage grid-connected applications. These research efforts align closely with the university’s strategic goals toward building more sustainable societies.

Key Responsibilities:

• Support IT integration of laboratory test equipment (power supplies, converters, sensors, data acquisition systems) with local and remote monitoring systems.

• Assist in modifications, upgrades, and maintenance of remote dashboards used for experiment monitoring and control.

• Design and develop dashboard widgets for real-time and post-processed data visualization.

• Implement and improve data representation methods (graphs, charts, trends, alerts) for experimental and performance data.

• Support testing activities, including system setup, connectivity troubleshooting, logging, and validation of data integrity.

• Work closely with researchers and engineers to translate experimental requirements into IT and software solutions.

• Maintain documentation for dashboards, interfaces, configurations, and test setups.

• Work closely with cross-functional teams including procurement, finance, and safety to support project delivery and compliance.

• Contribute to research proposals, research disseminations, and project deliverables.

• Support laboratory activities, including equipment maintenance, procurement, and administrative tasks.

Job Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science/engineering, or electrical engineering or information systems.

• Experience with IT systems integration, instrumentation interfaces, and data communication protocols (e.g., TCP/IP, serial, Ethernet-based instruments).

• Familiarity with dashboard development, data visualization tools, or web-based UI frameworks.

• Basic understanding of power electronics laboratory environments is an advantage.

• Ability to troubleshoot hardware–software interaction issues in a research setting.

• Strong analytical, documentation, and communication skills, with the ability to work independently and collaboratively in a dynamic, cross-functional teams, and fast-paced research environment.

We regret to inform that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
