What’s the next big thing in aerospace?
Have you thought about hybrid/electric propulsion and systems for next generation aircraft?
Well, that’s exactly what we are doing here at Collins Aerospace.
As a Senior Researcher on Electrical Systems, you will fulfil this mission by providing and driving impactful results on upcoming technology, and you will do so in a collaborative environment.The team are an international group with great talent who are passionate and knowledgeable about power electronics.
Successful candidates should be able to demonstrate expert knowledge in at least one of the following:
* High power density power electronics converter design, analysis, and control.
* Modelling and evaluation of electrical power distribution architectures including consideration of redundancy, fault isolation, and system safety.
* EMI analysis and filter design, including optimal design of magnetic components.
* Control of converters and motor-drive systems and implementation in digital control platform (DSP, FPGA).
* High-voltage effects and mitigations including some or all aspects of arcing faults, creepage/clearance, partial discharge, and lightning. Preferably including knowledge of altitude/low pressure considerations.
An applied background in aerospace systems and architectures is a plus. Familiarity with aerospace regulations and certification standards is also desirable but not essential.
Green, more sustainable aviation starts right here. You will join a worldwide community of researchers influencing and developing industry-changing technology. And you will do that through a mixture of theoretical analysis, simulations and proof-of-concept demonstrations in our lab facilities.
