Master Thesis: Revving Up Resilience: Modelling of Modern Fail-Operational and Highly Available ATV Power Systems (f/m/div)

At KAI, we create reliability test methods and systems. For an existing power distribution test system, we plan to extend the functionality in the direction of mimicking fail-operational and highly available power distribution topologies and build up a system-level model within Matlabs Simscape.
Therefore, during your thesis project, we expect you to become a growing expert in high-level system modeling, with a strong focus on Automotive Power Distribution Topologies. This means you will need to acquire some special knowledge and perform dedicated tasks:

• Learn about Infineon’s Smart Power Switches and how to use them in power distribution topologies
• Improve your skills in high-level system modeling with state-of-the-art tools
• Evaluate different topologies and develop an evaluation scheme to scientifically compare them
• Design, build, and evaluate a working prototype
• Document your results by writing and submitting your Master thesis

• Knowledge and experience with lab measurements, circuit design, electro-thermal simulations (SPICE, Simscape, PLECS,…) and doing PCB layouts
• The ability to work and communicate well with our international team in English and German is a plus
• Completed most of your exams and can start right away

• Motivation letter
• CV
• Certificate of matriculation at a university
• Latest Transcript of records (not older than 6 months)
• Highest completed educational certificate (Matura certificate for Bachelor students, Bachelor certificate for Master students)
• Reference letter (optional)
