LIST coordinates a national research initiative to support the energy transition, co-funded by the National Research Fund (FNR). This initiative aims at supporting Luxembourg's energy transition through a nation-wide digital platform, built together with public and private stakeholders in the Energy sector. Such a platform puts together multidisciplinary data and models covering different aspects of the energy transition, including energy infrastructure, market design, regulatory constraints, social and environmental impacts.

Within the project, we aim at addressing the research challenges associated with the design and operationalisation of a nation-wide platform that integrates multidisciplinary data and models to provide energy transition decision support to multiple stakeholders.

How will you contribute?

As a Software Engineer for Digital Twin, you will contribute to the implementation of a Digital Twin platform to support decision-making related to the energy transition in Luxembourg. The platform will act both as an enabling infrastructure and as an integration environment for research outputs ( simulation tools, models, data, data pipelines) from the project partners.

Main responsibilities :

Design and implement  a scalable, secure, and high-performance data platform for energy data monitoring, processing and analysis.

Develop, deploy, and maintain  open-source software (OSS) components  in a  Kubernetes-based environment .

Translate research outputs (, models, algorithms) into  production-grade APIs and services .

Collaborate with data scientists and domain experts via LivingLabs to integrate knowledge and AI models (, including simulation, prediction) into the  digital twin architecture .

Develop and maintain  web-based user interfaces  to enable intuitive interaction with the digital twin and data services.

Ensure solutions are  well-tested, documented, and maintainable , with a strong emphasis on software quality and reproducibility.

Participate in design reviews, code reviews, and agile development practices

• Support project planning, execution, and reporting.
• Support the evaluation of the platform and quality assurance via monitoring of platform-related KPIs
• Write technical documentation, research reports, and contribute to scientific dissemination (, conferences, workshops, whitepapers).
