Work environment

In our department “Development of E-Drives and Transmissions” at Volkswagen Group Components, you will work on key technologies such as pulse inverters and power electronic components (chargers, DC/DC converters, etc.). You will validate ideas and concepts, perform simulations, and independently prepare analyses – acting as a sparring partner for our development team. We offer you an environment with a high level of scientific depth, the opportunity to help shape innovative solutions, and support for your master’s thesis – including access to conferences and publications. If you have experience with power electronics (>1 kW) and MATLAB, you are exactly what we are looking for!

Possible tasks within this role

• Simulating, designing, and optimizing power electronic systems
• Supporting the analysis and development of power electronic circuits as well as magnetic components
• Assisting the team in developing innovative solutions for power electronics challenges in the automotive on-board charger domain

Qualification requirements

• Enrolled in an advanced master’s program in electrical engineering, power electronics, or a comparable field of study
• Good to very good academic performance
• Knowledge of power electronic circuits and their functionality
• Experience with power converters (>1 kW) and relevant experience with MATLAB required
• Practical knowledge of additional simulation tools (e.g., Simulink, PLECS, SPICE) is desirable
• Independent working style and quick comprehension

The following documents muust be submitted with your application

• Curriculum Vitae
• Current certificate of enrollment
• Current academic transcript
• Work permit for non-EU citizens
• In case of a compulsory internship, a certificate from the university
