Test Engineer Climatic Chamber

Would you like to work as a project and test engineer in our large climate test chamber, a high-tech test facility where industrial partners test a wide variety of applications under stringent climatic conditions, ranging from offshore wind turbine components to complete vehicles? Does the prospect of working actively and hands-on as a project engineer on multidisciplinary research, development and innovation projects across numerous industrial sectors and diverse technological themes appeal to you? Then read on! You will be responsible for the coordination and practical implementation of test projects related to wind energy, energy transmission and the energy transition (including storage, hydrogen and e-fuels), as well as spill-over applications You will lead and manage climatic testing and validation projects from start to finish, set up (complex) electromechanical test campaigns, and oversee the operation and maintenance of the test facilities, in collaboration with the lab co-ordinator, the client and suppliers or partners. You will also collaborate in a multidisciplinary manner with other Sirris teams, taking a hands-on lead on additional test campaigns (including the corrosion test bench, vehicles, etc.) You will help to set up electromechanical test rigs, fit out the test specimens with instrumentation, check and monitor the climate chamber during tests, and monitor and make adjustments where necessary. Afterwards, you will analyse the results and compile a clear test report. You will work effectively with a range of tools and measuring equipment. You will adhere to safety procedures whilst carrying out the tests. You have a strong awareness of risks and know how to manage them (electrical risks BA4–BA5, high voltage) In addition to test and demonstration projects in the climatic test laboratory, you will also play an active role in setting up and carrying out applied R&D projects related to wind energy and/or the energy transition in general
