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
What You'll do
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.
What You’ll Bring
- 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
- Strong communication skills in English, German will be an asset
