What's the role?
You will be working in a cross-functional team newly founded to develop highly innovative products for construction industry. You will investigate novel concepts of high power drives and the associated electronics for power tools and drive their optimization strongly contributing to further differentiate our tools from the competition.
Start date is flexible to the student's availability, duration of at least 6 months
Who is Hilti?
For more than a decade, Hilti has been recognized by Great Place to Work as one of the best places to work. Founded in 1941 by the Hilti brothers, we have over 120 locations globally carrying right into our lives and homes. Where people are exploring possibilities, leveraging their potential, owning their personal development and growing lasting careers.
We offer innovative solutions for the construction industry, emphasizing a passionate, inclusive team and a performance-driven culture. A substantial amount of our profit goes to the Hilti Foundation, promoting societal growth and sustainable impact.
What does the role involve?
Your key assignment will be the analysis of a first prototype of a highly efficient DC/DC-converter in order to assess its efficiency, thermal behaviour, EMC as well accuracy and dynamic performance. Based on this profound testing potential improvements shall be derived and implemented in new design iterations. A crucial part will be development of an adequate simulation model which shall consider losses and the dynamic behaviour so as to be able to carry out system tests. Located in Schaan at our headquarters, you will closely cooperate with leading experts and suppliers in the field.
Are you passionate about power electronics and adept in designing ultra-high efficient topologies? Are you hung up on setting up and optimise a simulation model which perfectly matches the test results in practise? Have you pored over the various fancy resonant topologies and derived your own conclusions? If you like to think outside the box, are keen on driving interesting topics and wish to further develop yourself in an inspiring atmosphere then get into gears and submit your application. We are looking forward to getting to know you!
What do we offer?
Joining our headquarters in Schaan, Nendeln, or Buchs connects you with a diverse community of over 2,100 colleagues from 70 nationalities in a region where Liechtenstein, Austria, and Switzerland intersect. Our employee groups actively support causes like female empowerment and the LGBTQAI+ community and offer leisure activities like mountain biking and tennis. We also provide opportunities for community engagement both locally and internationally. Benefits at our headquarters include shared e-bikes, an on-site gym, dining options, learning opportunities, and relocation support.
What you need is:
- Enrollment for the whole internship period in a Bachelor/Master’s program in Electrical Engineering or similar
- Profound knowledge of designing compact and high efficient power electronics
- Experience in doing laboratory work such as measurements, tests and prototype build-up is essential
- Adept in deploying simulation software such as Spice and Matlab/Simulink
- Passion for developing innovative solutions as part of an interdisciplinary, cross-functional team
- High personal standard of performance and drive for result
- Strong communication skills in English, German will be an asset
