Job Description:

As a Cryogenic power electric engineer, you will be part of a multinational team in charge of developing an advanced superconducting and cryogenic powertrain to enable high power electric propulsion systems for aircraft application.

It will be composed of a cryogenic DC/DC converter, a superconducting DC network with protections, a cryogenic motor drive, a superconducting electric motor and a cryogenic cooling system developed with partners from worldwide industry and academia, start-ups in a dynamic and emulating environment.

This position is based in Munich (Ottobrunn) and it comes with a limited contract till December 2026, the deadline of the demonstrator.

Responsibilities:

As a Cryogenic power electronic R&T engineer, you will be part of the team in charge of designing, prototyping and testing power electronic converters:

• Develop and characterize cryogenic/superconducting components (power module, drivers, sensors, inductance, capacitors, bus bars…)

• Simulate and design power electronic core,

• Design electronic hardware and EMC filters

• Design control/command software

• Prototype motor drive and integrate it in a cryogenic loop

• Prototype DC/DC converter and integrate it in a cryogenic loop

• Integrate and test it in the cryo/superconducting powertrain

• Evaluate performances and potential of a cryo-inverter for propulsive application

• Drive industrial and academic partners.
