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
