Converters for electric mobility (ME line)

Euraxess; Oviedo; Presencial; EUR 34.000 - 52.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Euraxess is seeking to contribute to power converter-based solutions for ME research applications. The role involves selecting converter topologies, proposing control strategies, and validating power and control stages through theoretical work and simulations.

It also covers PCB design and construction, plus sourcing components and commissioning converters. Tasks include using PSIM, LTSpice, MATLAB/Simulink, and PCB tools like Altium and KiCAD to optimize performance and reliability of converter

Responsabilidades

• Selection of the most suitable converter topologies.
• Proposal of control strategies, topologies, and novel devices that can improve the performance of currently used converters.
• Design and validation of the converter's power and control stages, both theoretically and through simulation.
• Design and construction of the Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) that comprise the power and control stages of the converter.
• Sourcing, selection, and procurement of the necessary components and commissioning of the converter itself.

Offer Description

Contribution of power converter-based solutions that meet the specifications required for applications within the ME research line.

The most relevant tasks to be carried out are:

• Selection of the most suitable converter topologies.
• Proposal of control strategies, topologies, and novel devices that can improve the performance of currently used converters.
• Design and validation of the converter's power and control stages, both theoretically and through simulation.
• Design and construction of the Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) that comprise the power (generally power-scaled) and control stages of the converter.
• Sourcing, selection, and procurement of the necessary components and commissioning of the converter itself.

The development of these tasks involves the handling of computer tools for electronic simulation (PSIM, LTSpice, Mtalab-Simulink, etc.), mathematical analysis (MATLAB), digital control (FPGAs, DSPs and microcontrollers) and PCB construction (Altium, KiCAD, etc.).
