R&D Associate Scientist

ABB; Kraków; Hybrid; PLN 150,000 - 210,000; Full time

Job summary

ABB Kraków seeks a mechanical engineer to advance electrification solutions. You will collaborate with international design teams on developing and optimizing ABB electrification products, including switchgears and apparatus, using FEM simulations.

The role requires strong CAD experience (SolidWorks, Creo/Parametric), FEAs (ABAQUS/NASTRAN/ANSYS), and a solid understanding of materials strength. You will document results and contribute design improvements.

Qualifications

• University degree in mechanical engineering or related discipline.
• Experience with finite element analysis (ABAQUS/NASTRAN/ANSYS): static/dynamic, modal.
• CAD modeling experience (SolidWorks, Creo/Parametric).
• Fundamentals of strength of materials and basic structural hand calculations.
• Basic knowledge of electrical engineering concepts and standards (IEC/IEEE/Eurocode).
• Proficiency in English and good communication skills.

Responsibilities

• Cooperate with international design teams to develop and optimize ABB electrification products.
• Carry out FEM simulations on 2D/3D CAD models for single components and large assemblies (static, dynamic, electro-mechanical).
• Design and simulate MV electrical equipment under arc phenomena.
• Document simulations results and propose design improvements.
