Research Associate in Power Electronics and Control Systems for Wide-Bandgap Inverters | Wissenschaftlicher MA -Leistungselektronikentwicklung und Implementation von Regelungsverfahren

Job Summary

This role seeks a Research Associate specializing in cutting-edge Power Electronics Development and Control Systems, focusing on high-frequency Wide-Bandgap inverters. Day-to-day responsibilities include conducting applied research, designing digital controllers for piezo-resonance systems using microcontrollers, and implementing these controls on rapid-prototyping hardware or FPGA boards. A significant part of the job involves extensive modeling and simulation using tools like LTspice, Plecs, and Matlab/Simulink, followed by rigorous validation, including Hardware-in-the-Loop testing. The ideal candidate possesses an above-average degree in Electrical Engineering and strong expertise in power electronics hardware, control procedures, or microcontroller programming (C, Python, VHDL). This position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to innovative, future-oriented research within a university setting, providing excellent development possibilities and flexible working arrangements, though it is offered as a 90% part-time, fixed-term contract until March 2026.
