Job Description

Are you looking for a Final year project?

Would you like to discover the work of a researcher in electrical engineering and work on innovative technological bricks related to hybrid or full electric propulsion of Aircrafts?

                                                                                                                        

Then apply now!

Location: Ottobrunn / Munich

Start: approx. April 2020

Duration: 6 months

We look forward to you joining us at the Airbus site in Ottobrunn in the “Electrics and Electromagnetics Expertise domain” in the Central Research & Technology of Airbus.

You will write your thesis in the department  of Electrics and Electromagnetics Expertise and work on innovative technological bricks related to hybrid or full electric propulsion of Aircrafts.

Your exciting topic

The objective of this internship is to participate in research work on innovative inverters. You will be part of the dedicated team and you will be responsible for developing and validating models of active and passive components (semiconductors, resistors, capacitors, inductances…), integrated in power converters, operating in a large temperature range. Validation tests of models at different temperatures are expected. This will allow you at the end of the internship to evaluate the improvement of performances of a specific converter compared to a conventional converter and to make  design proposals for a demonstrator.

Your main activities will include

·  Identify and formalize the state of the art of a specific power converters and component models at a large range of temperature
·  Participate in the test analysis of passive and active components at large range of temperatures
·  With Matlab/Simscape, develop or adapt models of active and passive components (semiconductors, resistors, capacitors, inductances…) used in power converters
·  Develop a temperature dependent model of an inverter
·  Participate in the test to validate these models
·  Propose a comparison of main performances between conventional converter and the modelled converter

You offer

·  Enrolled student within Electrical engineering with specialisation in Electrical/Power Electronic Engineering or a similar field of study
·  Strong/skills in power electronics: Analog, digital and power electronics circuits
·  Experience in Matlab/Simulink/Simscape or equivalent
·  Thermal skills would be a plus
·  Advanced English skills (preferably higher)

You are a good team player, have excellent communication skills and you are able to work independently.
