In a groundbreaking venture, a team of leading academic and industrial experts are collaborating to develop an ultra-high-voltage pulse-power supply system. This cutting-edge project, funded by the industry, is set to revolutionize the electronics space with its fast rise-time and semiconductor-based design.
The project’s spearhead will be tasked with a wide range of responsibilities from literature review to prototype testing and validation, underlining the project’s comprehensive approach. This role will also encompass the planning and procurement of components for the prototype, presentations at international conferences, and the writing of technical reports and high-quality journal publications.
A key aspect of this project is the practical application of advanced technical skills. These include closed-loop control of high-frequency, high-voltage switched power electronic circuits, mathematical modelling, analysis, simulation, and experimental verification. The successful candidate will need hands-on experience in designing, fabricating, and testing hardware circuits for high-frequency, high-voltage switched power electronic circuits.
The project also demands a strong grounding in printed circuit board design, assembly and testing, operation of digital storage scopes, network analyzers, power quality analyzers, and data acquisition equipment. A robust understanding of high voltage (HV) engineering, safety precautions, insulation and grounding requirements is also essential. The candidate will also need to be well-versed in standard regulations related to electromagnetic interference generated by HV and extra-high voltage (EHV) power sources.
A significant aspect of this project is the integration of electronics with computers and programming languages. Therefore, experience in programming digital controllers and interfacing with the power circuit is a prerequisite. Coding skills will be instrumental in navigating the complex terrain of this project.
The ideal candidate will possess a PhD in Electrical Engineering with a specialization in Power Electronics Systems and Control. This focus on high-frequency, high-voltage switched circuits is crucial to the success of the project. The ability to work on intricate research problems and write scientific papers is also necessary.
The role calls for a high level of personal responsibility and initiative. The ability to work collaboratively in a project team is paramount. The leader will also be responsible for guiding a team of research assistants and PhD researchers, further underlining the importance of teamwork.
