About this position

This PhD position is based at RWTH Aachen University within the Chair of Thermodynamics of Mobile Energy Conversion Systems (TME) and the Institute of Thermodynamics, in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. The research environment is embedded in the chair’s broader work at the Center for Mobile Propulsion (CMP), where the focus lies on mobile propulsion systems, including internal combustion engines with synthetic fuels, fuel cells, and battery-electric drives.

The advertised project is centered on electrolysis and green hydrogen. The doctoral researcher will work on the design, assembly, and operation of an electrolyzer test bench, as well as the experimental investigation of aging effects under real operating conditions for hydrogen supply on the Campus Melaten. The project also includes the development of transient operating strategies and control concepts, plus the construction of an online monitoring system with a cloud interface and data management. Overall, the position combines experimental infrastructure, operating strategy development, and digital test-bench supervision in a thermodynamics and energy-conversion setting.

The chair emphasizes innovative solutions for sustainable mobility and links its hydrogen and fuel-cell research to test methods and calibration work. The position therefore offers a strong applied research environment with hands-on laboratory and test-bench development, alongside opportunities to contribute to the infrastructure supporting hydrogen research at RWTH Aachen.

Funding details

Paid full-time position under TV-L pay scale, grade EG 13 TV-L; initially 1 year with extension planned up to a total of 4 years; a doctoral opportunity is included.

What's required

Applicants should have a completed university degree (Master’s or equivalent) in mechanical engineering (process, control, energy, or design engineering) or electrical engineering (energy technology or electrical systems). Experience with measurement data analysis and test bench operation is advantageous. Basic knowledge of electrolyzers and/or fuel cells/systems is desired. Very good German and English skills are required, along with secure use of MS Office, especially Excel and PowerPoint. Applicants should be able to work independently in research and be creative, flexible, and team-oriented.

How to apply

Apply via the RWTH Aachen application link. The application deadline is 05.01.2027. The posting also lists a postal contact at the Chair for Thermodynamics of Mobile Energy Conversion Systems and Institute of Thermodynamics in Aachen.
