Here, progress is an expectation - for you, your team, and the world. As a global market leader, we’ll give you what you need to make it happen. It won’t always be easy, growing takes grit. But at ABB, you’ll never run alone. Run what runs the world.\nThis Position reports to:\nR&D Team LeadYour role and responsibilities\nYou will be part of Materials Technology & Electromagnetics team at ABB Corporate Research in Västerås, Sweden. At Corporate Research we lead the innovation within ABB and our task is to ensure ABB's technology competitiveness now and in the future. We work in close collaboration with other research centers, our business areas: Motion, Automation and Electrification, as well academic and industrial partners. In our creative and highly skilled team we develop, design, build and test new concepts and prototypes of physical and digital powertrains or electrical devices.\nThe circularity of several materials is emerging as key aspect for sustainable technologies. The recovery by recycling needs to be improved and future technical products need to be designed for end-of-life disassembly.\nFor improving recovery efficiency, de-bondable interfaces would be an enabler for circular designs. Here adhesive is in focus to enable sufficient temperature class but still de-bondable at the end of product service life.\nResearch topics:\nReversible adhesive for debonding of permanent magnets\nGoals:\n- Evaluate adhesive formulations based on chemical, thermal and adhesive properties\n- Assessment of de-bonding performance on selected disassembly process/es\nDetails:\nPeriod: 2027 January - June\nNumber of credits: Number of students for this thesis work: 1\nLocation: ABB Corporate Research (Västerås) - full or part time\nQualifications for the role\nAcademic level of Master of Science\nBackground in Material design, Chemical Engineering, Polymer chemistry , Organic chemistry or Bio-chemistry\nWork independently under supervision to reach agreed targets\nMotivation to solve industrial problems using state-of-the-art methods\nExperience of polymeric formulation design and experimental work with adhesives\nCommunication skills in oral and written English\nMore about us\nRecruiting Manager David Lindell , 46 72 461 35 03, will answer your questions.\nMain contact : Andreas Friberg, \nFredrik Sahlen, \nUniversity contact: Minna Hakkarainen (KTH) , \nPositions are filled continuously. Please apply with your CV, academic transcripts, and a cover letter in English.\nWe look forward to receiving your application!\nA future opportunity\nThis role is part of our talent pipeline, which means it’s not currently open, but we’re always looking for curious minds, bold thinkers, and people who want to make an impact.\nClick Apply to express your interest and be considered for future opportunities that match your experience and aspirations.\nAt ABB, we welcome people from all backgrounds and believe that diverse perspectives help us build a cleaner, smarter future.\nApply today or visit https://www.abb.com to learn more about how we help run what runs the world.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3188,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Power Grid","Industrial Automation","Industrial Robotics"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-03T00:21:45Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":36,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.662,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":18,"expected_fill_days":18,"reasons":["conf:4","velocity","win:tail","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-20T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/abb-thesis-work-for-design-for-circularity-reversible-adhesives","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/abb-thesis-work-for-design-for-circularity-reversible-adhesives.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-20T18:36:16Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":21428,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-21T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":44977},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=44977"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fabb-thesis-work-for-design-for-circularity-reversible-adhesives"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fabb-thesis-work-for-design-for-circularity-reversible-adhesives"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fabb-thesis-work-for-design-for-circularity-reversible-adhesives"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/abb-thesis-work-for-design-for-circularity-reversible-adhesives\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fabb-thesis-work-for-design-for-circularity-reversible-adhesives"}]}
