Job Description:
As Cryogenic power electric engineers, you will be part of a multinational team in charge of developing an advanced superconducting and cryogenic powetrain to enable high power electric propulsion systems for aircraft application.
It will be composed of a cryogenic DC/DC converter, a superconducting DC network with protections, a cryogenic motor drive, a superconducting electric motor and a cryogenic cooling system developed with partners from worldwide industry and academia, start-ups in a dynamic and emulating environment.
This position is based in Munich and it comes with a limited contract for 2 years and a half ( till December 2026), the timeline of the demonstrator.
Responsibilities:
As a Cryogenic power electronic R&T engineer, you will be part of the team in charge of designing, prototyping and testing power electronic converters:
* Develop and characterize cryogenic/superconducting components (power module, drivers, sensors, inductance, capacitors, bus bars…)
* Simulate and design power electronic core,
* Design electronic hardware and EMC filters
* Design control/command software
* Prototype motor drive and integrate it in a cryogenic loop
* Prototype DC/DC converter and integrate it in a cryogenic loop
* Integrate and test it in the cryo/superconducting powertrain
* Evaluate performances and potential of a cryo-inverter for propulsive application
* Drive industrial and academic partners.
