Gaimersheim, DE, 85080 Wolfsburg, DE, 38440 Kassel, DE, 34219
PhD Student On-Board Charger Control (f/m/d)
Work environment
We bring the future into series production. Our department for "Development of Electric Drives, Power Electronics & Transmissions", which is part of Volkswagen Group Components at the Kassel, Wolfsburg, and Gaimersheim sites, plays a leading role in this endeavor. It is responsible for the development of all future power electronics for electric drives and on-board-chargers. We are shaping the mobile future by consistently transforming our innovations into cost-effective products and continuously improving existing technologies. Become part of our team to shape the future of mobility together!
Possible Tasks within this Role
- Designing, simulating and testing of on-board chargers with digital control and analoge circuits
- Conducting an in depth study on a specific area within power converter system power electronics
- Creating and develpoing of basic software and hardware prototypes
- Utilizing design tools and implementing simulation models
- Collaborating directly with system engineers of VW to design and prototype key functions of next generation On-Board Chargers
The final doctoral topic is defined together with the professor. The prerequisite for the cooperation is the confirmation of supervision as well as a confirmed delimitation of topics by the professor of a university or research institution entitled to confer a doctorate.
Qualification requirements
- Good to very good university degree qualifying for doctoral studies in computer science, mechatronics, electrical engineering, or a comparable field
- Knowledge and / or highly motivated in gaining knowledge in Automotive On-Board Charger development
- Experienced in Embedded software programming using Microcontrollers (e.g. C2000, STM, Aurix)
- Capability in schematic and layout design
- Hands-on experience in hardware testing and debugging is preferred
- System level simulations such as using Matlab/Simulink/PLECs is preferred
- German or English language level B2
The following documents must be submitted with your application
- Curriculum Vitae
- Curent transcript of records / Certificate of Master's degree
Keywords
Model-Based Design, Digital control methods, Digital optimization methods, Real-time simulation, OBC-control concepts, Rapid prototyping, Embedded software, Matrix converter
What we offer
- Attractive salary & 30 vacation days (+ 24.12. and 31.12. off)
- 35-hour week, flexible working hours, remote work
- Special conditions for the purchase and leasing of vehicles
- Free seminars on scientific work and interdisciplinary qualifications
- Participation in the doctoral network for scientific exchange with science representatives and other doctoral candidates within the Volkswagen Group
