About the Job

Requirements

  • A Bac+5 qualification from an engineering school or equivalent university education, specializing in power electronics, automatic control, control-command, or electrical engineering.
  • Confirmed experience designing and developing control-command systems applied to power electronics, ideally involving DC/DC converters, onboard chargers, and/or inverters.
  • Strong expertise in control-command, including regulation, feedback control, system stability, and control-law design.
  • Significant experience designing control architectures and developing algorithms for power-electronics systems.
  • Knowledge of DC/DC converters, onboard chargers, and/or inverters, their operating principles, and isolated and non-isolated power-conversion topologies.
  • Excellent command of MATLAB and Simulink, and methods for modeling, simulating, and validating dynamic systems.
  • Experience simulating and emulating control systems using MIL, SIL, and HIL approaches.
  • Understanding of hardware constraints and their interactions with software-control strategies.
  • Ability to analyze complex technical issues and propose design and optimization solutions.
  • Professional English proficiency is necessary for working in an international environment.

Responsibilities

  • Define and design control-command architectures for energy-conversion systems, including DC/DC converters, onboard chargers, and inverters, accounting for each converter type.
  • Develop and optimize control laws and voltage- and current-regulation algorithms to ensure system performance, stability, and robustness.
  • Design control strategies for different operating modes, including startup, shutdown, degraded modes, fault management, and protections.
  • Model power-electronics system behavior, including isolated and non-isolated converter topologies and their interactions with control strategies.
  • Perform advanced modeling, simulation, and emulation to assess, validate, and optimize control-command architecture performance.
  • Develop and validate control models in MATLAB and Simulink, including in MIL, SIL, and HIL simulation environments.
  • Ensure consistency between software-control architectures and the hardware constraints of power-electronics systems.
  • Participate in integration, test-bench trials, and validation of control strategies.
  • Integrate functional-safety, diagnostic, and robustness requirements into control strategies.
  • Collaborate with power-electronics, hardware-design, embedded-software development, systems, and validation teams.

Desired Qualifications

  • A doctorate in power electronics, automatic control, control-command, or electrical engineering.
  • Knowledge of embedded C programming, automatic code generation, AUTOSAR, or functional safety (ISO 26262).
  • Experience in the automotive sector or at a supplier.
