About the Company
CHN Energy Europe Research GmbH (CHEER) is a subsidiary of CHN Energy Investment Group (China Energy) based in Berlin, Germany. Being an integral part of China Energy’s globalized research and development layout, CHEER features in integrated European-Chinese innovation culture and advanced technology, and operates business in new energy technology research and development with purposes of promoting and accelerating carbon neutrality and making its own contribution in alleviating global climate change.
Its parent company, China Energy, operates eight business segments including coal, thermal power, new energy, hydro-power, transportation, coal-to-chemicals, environmental technology and finance. Those businesses distribute in more than 10 countries and regions, including China, Europe, the United States, Canada and Australia. It is the world’s largest producer of coal, thermal power, wind power, as well as coal-to-chemicals. It is ranked 92nd in the Fortune Global 500 in 2025.
Centered on the green development strategy and the strategy of innovation-driven scientific and technological development, CHEER is committed to building a world-class research institute with global competitiveness. We focus on six key R&D areas: diversified power conversion, advanced chemical engineering, hydrogen energy, artificial intelligence, energy storage, and new environmental protection technologies.
We are building teams to develop cutting-edge sustainable and affordable technologies to improve energy efficiency, protect the environment, and mitigate climate change. Our ability to excel depends on the integrity, knowledge, skill, imagination, passion, and teamwork of people like you. Currently we have openings for leading experts with a range of focus areas including energy, chemistry, and artificial intelligence. We offer competitive compensation packages and excellent benefits.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Develop AI algorithms and technologies to optimize predictive models and improve materials development strategies, thereby accelerating the discovery and optimization of catalysts.
2. Apply robotics-based high-throughput experimentation to rapidly synthesize and test a vast array of catalyst candidates, expediting the identification of highly efficient catalysts.
3. Use AI algorithms to analyze chemical data, predict the properties of potential catalysts, and support the design of new catalysts with improved activity and selectivity.
4. Employ AI-based computational modeling techniques to predict catalyst behavior at the atomic level, simulate reactant adsorption, activation, and reaction pathways, identify promising catalyst candidates, and guide experimental work toward the most effective design directions.
Qualification Requirements:
1. Master’s degree or higher in a relevant field (e.g., Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Energy Engineering, Electrical Engineering).
2. Professional experience in AI algorithms or related research/industry projects.
3. Deep understanding of Transformer architectures and their variants; familiarity with large models such as BERT, GPT, and LLaMA.
4. Experience with distributed training, model parallelism, and model compression.
5. Proven experience in large model development and optimization; proficient with frameworks such as ChatGPT, DeepSpeed, Megatron; knowledge of RLHF and PEFT.
6. Strong research track record with publications in top international conferences/journals, or highly cited research outputs/patents.
7. Excellent project management and problem-solving skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively in interdisciplinary and multicultural teams.
8. Very good English skills are required; German and/or Chinese is an advantage.
Join us and become a leader in driving clean energy innovation, together shaping the brilliant future of the new energy sector!
