2 weeks ago


Västerås, Västmanland, Sweden Alstom Full time

At Alstom, we're pushing the boundaries of sustainable mobility. As a Master thesis student, you'll be part of our team working on a groundbreaking project: developing a rare earth free permanent magnet railway traction motor design. Your task will be to conduct a comparative Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) of this new design with conventional PM motor designs using rare earth metals.

Key Responsibilities:

  1. Develop models for and perform a comparative LCA of the new motor design with a conventional PM motor design using rare earth metals.
  2. Identify potential environmental issues and risks, and propose improvement and mitigation strategies.
  3. Familiarize yourself with the motor designs themselves and electric traction system performance simulations.

Requirements:

  • Background in electrical power engineering combined with ecodesign.
  • Familiarity with electrical machine design.

What You'll Gain:

  • Collaborate with transverse teams and helpful colleagues.
  • Contribute to innovative projects.
  • Benefit from our investment in your development.

Alstom is an equal-opportunity employer that celebrates diversity across the 63 countries we operate in. We're committed to creating an inclusive workplace for everyone.
