Internship / Master’s thesis in the field of hydrogen electrolysis. Core focus: Process engineering (m/f/x)

The FEST Group deals with complex topics of industrial and international plant engineering – such as hydrogen electrolysis and its applications – in its three business units Process Automation, IT, and Energy Technology. The FEST Group is part of Schmidt Kranz & Co. GmbH, a family company with a long-standing tradition run by the fourth generation of owners. Schmidt is a successful holding with numerous subsidiaries. Within the group of companies, we offer holistic solutions for the production, storage and utilization of hydrogen from renewable energies.

Your duties:

For the optimization and scale-up of our PEM electrolysis systems, model-based development of equipment and sub-processes constitutes a key activity for our process engineering team at the Goslar site.

• As part of the team, you will assist with the identification of suitable simulation software solutions and integrate them into the existing infrastructure.
• You will identify suitable modeling approaches for the design of various process engineering equipment
• You will implement the computational models identified and conduct parameter studies for the optimization of the equipment design
• You will be working closely with process engineers and the design and process automation departments.

Your profile:

• You are studying process engineering, chemical engineering or a comparable field with a focus on energy and process engineering.
• You already have initial experience in the development of simulation models.
• Sound programming skills e.g. in Python, Matlab or OpenFOAM
• Very good knowledge of German
