Industrial PhD Student Position for NIBE Energy Systems

Description:

"Detection and Quantification of Multiple Faults in Residential Heat Pumps" Would you like to work with one of Sweden's strongest brands and be involved in developing the next generation of NIBE products and smart heat pumps? NIBE AB is now recruiting a talented student with a master degree in science to work as an industrial PhD student on smart heat pumps. We are now looking for an industrial PhD student interested in technology who wants to work on developing sustainable climate solutions. The position will be shared between Sweden and France. At NIBE's head office, you will work in an international environment with a world-class product portfolio that requires both intensive and high-quality product development. Description of the Subject and the Position To make these smart heat pumps a reality, a heat pump manufacturer, an electricity utility company, and a technical university specialized in energy efficiency systems have joined forces to propose an industrial postgraduate student position. Based on previous works, the PhD student will explore the real-time assessment of residential heat pump operation, facing one major or several simultaneous faults. This work will include theoretical analysis of heat pump operation, detailed modeling using Dymola software, and laboratory testing of real systems installed in climatic chambers. The PhD student will benefit from the knowledge and experience of the three partners and be given a unique chance to acquire strong and valuable expertise in control systems, thermodynamics, heat transfer, laboratory testing, and modeling. He/She will be part of the Product Development team, which is a high-tech advanced product development department with around 150 employees in the fields of mechanics, electricity/electronics, cooling technology, lab, control & regulation, audio optimization, etc. Presentation of the Three Partners NIBE AB NIBE AB is a successful modern company located in Markaryd, Sweden, with a turnover of just over SEK 5 billion/year and almost 1,250 employees. NIBE is one of the market leaders in Europe with a sustainable product range consisting of one of the market's widest programs of heat pumps, water heaters, solar panels, biofuel products, ventilation products, district heating equipment, fireplaces, etc. NIBE AB started manufacturing heat pumps in 1978 and is now ranked as the largest heat pump manufacturer in the country. NIBE AB is part of the publicly listed NIBE Industries AB, which has a turnover of approximately SEK 40 billion and approximately 21,000 employees in more than 30 countries. The NIBE group owns manufacturing facilities in many countries in Europe and North America. Sustainability and high quality are the main drivers of the group strategy in developing products and services for its customers. EDF R&D EDF R&D is part of EDF S.A., a French utility and parent company of the worldwide EDF group dedicated to production, transport, and sale of electricity. EDF R&D employs 2,000 persons at 9 sites around the world, spread across 10 main research departments, with main objectives of strengthening the performance of generation assets, inventing the energy systems of tomorrow, and decarbonizing customer uses of electricity. One of the EDF R&D sites is located in the Paris suburb "les Renardières" and employs 600 persons distributed across 3 research departments. One of them is dedicated to energy efficiency in buildings and industrial processes and employs 170 people, mainly engineers specialized in thermodynamics, heat transfer, mechanics, electronics, and metrology. The Energy Efficiency Department facilities are equipped with 11 testing laboratories and benefit from long experience in leading PhD studies. Mines Paris – PSL University Mines Paris is a renowned engineering school and part of the French "Paris Sciences et Lettres" (PSL) University, located in the city center of Paris. Mines Paris trains engineers and hosts several research centers, one focusing on energy efficiency of systems. The high-level research centers of Mines Paris attract highly qualified PhD students and professors and will serve as the academic supervisor and ensure support at a high scientific level. General Features About the Overall Organization The PhD student will be employed by NIBE AB and administratively attached to Mines Paris, which will serve as the entity responsible for academic examination. Most of the experimental and practical work will be done on the test benches at EDF R&D facilities near Paris. The PhD director will be a professor from Mines Paris, and the PhD student will benefit from the support of one supervisor from EDF R&D and one supervisor from NIBE AB. The PhD study is planned for three years. Part of the work, around 50%, will be done at NIBE AB premises in Markaryd. The remaining time will be spent in France, at EDF R&D premises at Les Renardières and at Mines Paris. The exact time share between the three locations is to be defined as well as its distribution over the 3 years. Background of the Candidate We are looking for a responsible person with a master degree in science who is passionate about heat pump technology, electricity, and compliance. You are creative, independent, and not afraid of taking initiatives. You have relevant training, education, and/or experience in this area. Good knowledge of English is a requirement, and French is also meritorious. Starting Time The PhD study is to start on 1 September 2026. Applying We will be reviewing applications on an ongoing basis and would like to receive your application as soon as possible, but no later than 3 June 2026.
