JOB DESCRIPTION

At Danfoss, we are engineering a better tomorrow – and to do that, we need innovative minds who are ready to model, simulate, and drive future-ready power solutions. We’re currently looking for a Simulation Specialist to join our Simulations & Control Department in the Marine and Power Conversion business.
In this role, you’ll play a key part in supporting the development of advanced control systems, power conversion, and performance optimization for industrial and marine applications. You’ll work alongside a highly skilled R&D team and contribute to cutting-edge simulation frameworks used across our product development lifecycle.

BACKGROUND & SKILLS

We imagine you have a strong technical foundation and an analytical mindset, with the ability to simplify complexity through simulation.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Master’s degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Control Engineering, or similar
• 3+ years of experience in system-level simulation of power electronic systems
• Proficiency in simulation tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS, Modelica, or similar platforms
• Solid understanding of control theory, power electronics, and electromechanical systems
• Experience working in a product development or applied research environment
• Strong collaboration and communication skills – ability to work across disciplines

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Experience with digital twin concepts or real-time simulation (e.g., HIL)
• Knowledge of marine systems, microgrid control, or renewable energy conversion is a plus
• Familiarity with scripting and automation of simulation workflows (e.g., Python, MATLAB)

Responsibilities for this position include, but are not limited to, the following.

• Develop and maintain dynamic system models for power electronic systems and industrial drives
• Simulate and analyze control algorithms, thermal behavior, and electromagnetic performance
• Collaborate closely with control engineers, hardware designers, and product development teams
• Support model-based development and verification processes in line with Danfoss quality standards
• Interpret simulation results to optimize product functionality and improve design iterations
• Ensure integration of simulation tools and workflows across relevant engineering teams
• Document modeling approaches and share best practices across the global engineering community
