Power Electronics Engineer

Job summary

Here at The***, we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit and that can carry cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run. At The***, we are developing Huracan, a throttleable cryogenic rocket engine designed for lunar landing applications.

Qualifications

• working closely with software and hardware engineers throughout implementation, integration, optimization, and verification.
• Plan and perform MIL, SIL, HIL, and laboratory testing; analyze the resulting data, identify performance limitations, and continuously improve the control approach.
• Support the commissioning and validation of internally developed power-electronics and electric-drive systems, ensuring their successful integration into the complete engine.
• Contribute to technical documentation, design reviews, verification activities, and the continuous improvement of engineering processes.
• What we would love to see from you
• A BSc or higher degree in electrical engineering, control systems engineering, aerospace engineering, robotics, or a related field.
• At least two years of experience developing, validating, or troubleshooting control systems for electric drives, power-electronic systems, or other dynamic systems.
• Strong knowledge of control theory, dynamic-system modelling, and simulation, with experience developing control strategies for electric motors and power-electronic systems.
• Practical experience with motor-control techniques, including field-oriented control, current, speed and position regulation, modulation, and observer-based control.
• Proficiency with modelling and simulation
• and collaborate effectively with embedded software engineers.
• Experience in aerospace, propulsion, automotive, robotics, energy, industrial automation, or another safety-critical or high-reliability field would be highly relevant.

Responsibilities

• Lead the definition and development of control architectures and strategies for the electric motors used within our cryogenic propulsion systems, including operating modes, interfaces, and protection functions.
• Develop system models and simulations to design and assess control algorithms, system performance, stability, and robustness across the expected operating range.
• Translate control concepts into system-level and embedded software
