We would like to strengthen our dynamic and diverse team at our research site in Frankfurt. As Innovation Campus Frankfurt, Air Liquide Forschung und Entwicklung GmbH is one of Air Liquide’s five Innovation Campuses. In close cooperation with internal and external partners worldwide, innovations for the energy transition are developed based on the 3 molecules H2, CO2 and CO. Through the competencies and commitment of our employees, we bear responsibility for a sustainable modern society. We persistently develop new ideas to sustainably reduce the carbon footprint of Air Liquide and its customers. At Innovation Campus Frankfurt, we shape sustainable change. Creativity and team spirit are our driving forces. How will you CONTRIBUTE and GROW? You are part of an agile research team and support innovation projects for green hydrogen production, in which modeling, simulation and optimization methods are an integral part. Your focus is on developing solutions for model-based analysis, prediction and optimization of water electrolysis. In doing so, you contribute to the reduction of our environmental footprint. You jointly develop ideas and mathematical models for conducting electrolysis-related optimization scenarios and evaluate commercial platform solutions in order to implement this model optimization as the Air Liquide state of the art. You are involved in all project phases from the analysis of experimental data to the conceptual design of the solution path to the implementation of the models and their validation using experimental data. You enjoy constantly expanding your knowledge and feel confident in applying different techniques used in industrial process control systems. Based on the analysis, interpretation and validation of the optimization models, you support the AL Group in strategic decisions related to the Operational Excellence field. You work closely with other Air Liquide entities, external customers, scientists and start-ups to drive the safety, reliability and efficiency of water electrolysis plants. Are you a match? Education: Master's or PhD in chemical engineering or process systems engineering with focus on dynamic optimization and optimizing advanced process control strategies Technical skills: In-depth knowledge in physical and data-driven modeling, simulation, and dynamic real time optimization related to linear/nonlinear programming. Stochastic optimization such as, for example, model predictive control optimization. Experience in water electrolysis is a plus. Programming Skills: Aspen Plus, Aspen Custom Modeler, gPROMS, with deep understanding of the underlying numerical solutions. Scripting custom physical and machine learning models and optimization algorithms in Python and MATLAB/Simulink. Familiarity with additional tools such as ALAMO is a plus. Soft skills: Very good analytical capacities, a high level of self-initiative and problem solving skills, good communication and teamwork working within international teams. Language: Fluency in written and spoken English is required. German useful but not mandatory LI-MF2 What makes us special | Our Benefits Perspective.
