We seek a talented and engaged software engineer who is eager to contribute to a world‑leading research environment and support the development of the first version of a user‑friendly software tool that uses physics‑informed neural networks to perform power system dynamic simulations.

The Division for Power and Energy Systems at DTU Wind and Energy Systems conducts cutting‑edge research in sustainable, reliable, and cost‑efficient energy systems for the benefit of society. At DTU Wind and Energy Systems, you will be part of a creative and inspiring work environment with about 400 highly skilled and motivated colleagues.

This is an administrative/research-support position and is connected to the ERC Proof‑of‑Concept project “PINNSim: Power System Simulator based on Physics‑Informed Neural Networks”, a prestigious grant awarded by the European Research Council. The project aims to translate key outcomes from our ERC‑funded grant “VeriPhIED” into the first steps toward commercialization and real‑world application.

Responsibilities and qualifications
You will be part of a dynamic working environment with a friendly team atmosphere, where you will have the opportunity to grow and further develop your technical, professional, and personal skills.

We are looking for a software engineer with solid experience in developing web‑based interfaces connected to Python backends.
