Start your career with the Strategic Student Program (SSP)

The Strategic Student Program is our formal internship program globally. You will be mentored by guides and gain invaluable professional experience. At Siemens, SSP interns get access to an international student network and community, career development opportunities with professional growth pathways, comprehensive practical training throughout the program, access to the Siemens Learning Hub and other training materials, and the opportunity to collaborate on exciting projects within a global, diverse team.

Topic:

Multiphysics Modeling of Electrical Energy Distribution Systems for Industrial Applications.

Position Overview

As part of a team of system simulation specialists, you will develop several electrical power distribution demonstrators designed to showcase the new capabilities of our software in these fields.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct a literature review of modern electrical energy management architectures covering industrial applications such as Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and data centers.
• Create application demonstrators illustrating the use of system models in Simcenter Amesim, aiming to:
  • Compare different electrical distribution architectures and analyze their performance regarding efficiency, stability, and continuity.
  • Study electrical and thermal interactions to evaluate the influence of operating conditions on system performance.
  • Evaluate energy management strategies.
  • Model subsystem failure scenarios.
• Document and promote these demonstrators.
• Collaborate with the teams designing and developing these solutions in Simcenter Amesim. You will benefit from their technical support and share your feedback on the applications studied.

This 5 to 6-month internship is based in Villeurbanne, near Lyon (69), and starts from February 2027.

Qualifications

Currently enrolled in a Master's-level engineering program (Bac +5 / MSc or equivalent) in France, specializing in specializing in Electricity, Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or a related field.

• You have a strong foundation in energy conversion, electrical networks, and power architectures (AC/DC systems, static converters).
• You have initial experience with system simulation tools (ideally Simcenter Amesim or Simulink) and possess general engineering knowledge to understand multiphysics coupling (thermal, mechanical, electrical).
• You demonstrate an interest in or have knowledge of the targeted sectors: BESS (Battery Energy Storage Systems), microgrids (onboard or industrial), or data centers.
• Your communication and writing skills in both French and English allow you to collaborate effectively within an international team.
• You are capable of working autonomously while effectively collaborating with one or more mentors.
