At LuciSun, the work focuses on technically complex solar energy engineering projects, with a strong emphasis on photovoltaic systems, where modelling choices, data quality and system configuration directly affect performance assessment and engineering decisions. Projects typically sit at the interface between applied research, technical advisory and software development, and require navigating incomplete data, uncertainty and real-world constraints.
Team members are expected to engage deeply with technical questions, to understand the limits of models and assumptions, and to translate scientific and engineering methods into tools and analyses that can be used in practice. The work often involves iterative problem-solving rather than predefined workflows, and requires autonomy, rigour and collaboration across disciplines.
Opportunities at LuciSun are driven by concrete technical needs and ongoing projects rather than continuous recruitment. When specific expertise is required, we open targeted positions with a clearly defined scope. At other times, no roles may be advertised, even though we remain open to meeting and exchanging with professionals whose expertise could be relevant to our activities and may lead, over time, to recruitment or to collaboration as freelancers.
Beyond advertised positions, LuciSun welcomes spontaneous contact from experienced engineers, researchers or freelancers who believe their expertise could be relevant to our activities and are interested in contributing to specific projects or collaborating over a longer term.
We also welcome contact from students interested in internships, master theses or PhD collaborations, particularly on topics related to photovoltaic engineering, solar resource assessment, performance analysis, modelling and uncertainty.
Such academic collaborations are typically shaped jointly, depending on ongoing projects and supervision capacity.
Spontaneous applications and collaboration requests are reviewed on a case by case basis. While they do not necessarily lead to immediate opportunities, they often form the basis for future discussions when relevant needs or projects arise.
What working at LuciSun is like, and what it takes to be a good fit
LuciSun operates as a small team where each person takes ownership of their work and its outcomes. Roles are not narrowly defined, and team members are expected to contribute across analysis, problem-solving and implementation, depending on project needs.
Work is organised around deliverables rather than fixed schedules or presence. Team members are trusted to manage their time and working arrangements autonomously, within the constraints of collaboration, meetings and shared responsibilities.
Projects often involve complex modelling questions, uncertainty analysis and incomplete data. The work requires technical rigour, a solid understanding of assumptions and limitations, and the ability to engage deeply with engineering and scientific questions.
