at  MAN Energy Solutions

Are you passionate about cutting-edge technologies and their application in the green transition of maritime transport? Do you want to contribute to the development of innovative engine solutions that are pivotal in decarbonizing the industry? If so, we invite you to join MAN Energy Solutions as a 3-year Industrial PhD candidate.

WE IMAGINE THAT YOU:

We imagine our new PhD candidate:

• Holds a Master’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, with strong academic credentials.
• Has experience with simulation tools.
• Has experience with control systems, including theoretical background knowledge.
• Is proficient in Python and C/C++ programming.
• Is highly motivated, self-driven, and enjoys working in a collaborative, team-oriented environment.
• Has excellent communication skills in English.
• It is an advantage if you have experience with:
• Data analysis and visualization tools.
• Working with agile development frameworks (SCRUM, Kanban).

Welcome to the Tools & HILS department
We are a team with good unity, where the daily life is characterized by an informal atmosphere and a pleasant social work environment. We arrange several social activities, such as Tour-de-chambre, Teambuilding, DHL-run and ski trip (self-paid), which we hope you are excited to be part of. You will work in close cooperation with skilled and motivated colleagues who are passionate about their job and are looking forward to learn from you – and of course also share their knowledge.
One of the main pillars of the work methods of the team is transparency and that multiple heads think better than one. This is expressed by an ever-present openness regarding which assignments are on-going and which steps are planned for the assignment. It is also important that the team members are able to present the assignment in an easy understandable manner and that they are open for inputs from the other team members. Another main pillar is the importance of being informal and being modest. We try to spice up the daily work with fun and creative initiatives, which can include games, songs, confetti and costumes.

• Develop Digital Twin Solutions: You will develop and optimize a DT-based verification tool for 2-stroke dual-fuel engines, ensuring consistency and quality in production and performance during real-world operations.
• Collaborate with Experts: Work closely with highly skilled engineers in and academic experts in digital twin technology and simulation from SDU.
• Technical Implementation: Use Python and C/C++ to implement simulation frameworks and tools that allow parameter scaling and scenario descriptions.
• Dissemination of Results: Present your research at international conferences and publish in peer-reviewed journals. You will also complete and defend a PhD thesis.
