Working Student (f/m/d) Electric Drivetrain simulations and modeling

Your Tasks:

You will work with NXP's industrial systems innovation team on a research testbench for advanced motor control. As motor applications become deeper integrated into complex motion control systems, the embedded processors controlling the electric motors take on more complex tasks. Our work explores the impact of these developments on system architectures. You will support the team in

• Investigation of modern trends in advanced motor control topics

• High fidelity modeling of Motor drive system i.e. motors, power electronics etc.

• Rapid Control prototyping of motor control algorithms

• Deployment of models on Hardware-in-loop (HIL) target set up / Motor Testbench

Your profile:

• You are an enrolled student with focus on Electrical Engineering

• You have good knowledge of electric motor, power electronics and/or electric drives modelling and control theories

• Modelling experience with a simulation environment preferably MATLAB/Simulink or any other comparable tools like Plecs or LT-spice etc. is a must 

• Ideally you have exposure with real time simulations on hardware-in-loop set up of dspace/ speedgoat/ plecs/ OPAL-RT or any other HIL provider

• You are available to work onsite in our Munich lab (near the U2 Moosfeld station)

• You are comfortable and motivated to support the development a full research simulation test setup

• You are motivated to work on electrical, mechanical, and software components if necessary

• You have experience writing code in Python, C#, C/C++ or similar languages is advantageous but not essential

• You are fluent in English language both oral and written

Your Benefits:

• Opportunity to learn various aspects of advanced modeling of electric drive train, motor control etc.

• We offer flexibility to write internships and thesis on various exciting research topics pertaining to electric drive application in future

• Flexible work hours

• Supportive & dynamic work environment

• Exposure to an International team

Working time: max. 18 hrs/week.
