Internship/ Thesis: Solar topology research (f/m/div)

As a global semiconductor leader in power systems and IoT, we enable game-changing solutions for green and efficient energy, clean and safe mobility, as well as smart and secure IoT. That's why you probably use our products every day: smartphone, charger, electric toothbrush, coffee machine, refrigerator, remote control and much more. Solar inverter topologies are used to transfer solar DC power to AC grid at high efficiency and low cost. Besides the classical H4, H5 and HERIC topologies, there are a variety of other topologies used to increase efficiency further, like primary/secondary side cycloconverters. We are looking forward to your application!

Experience research

• You research for known topologies externally and internally
• You analyze and describe the topology
• You model and characterize the topology with MATLAB/Simulink
• You compare efficiency and cost of the different topologies
• You generate ideas for further optimizations

Study field

You are currently studying electrical engineering or a similar subject

Experience

You provide knowledge and experience in power electronic topologies and system simulation

Skills

You have knowledge in fundamentals of power electronic topologies (buck, boost, flyback) and excellent understanding of control algorithms

Interests

You are familiar with MATLAB, Simulink and general programming (M code, C/C++)

Way of working

You are a team player and enjoy working with persons of different cultural and technical backgrounds

Language skills

You have English skills, both written and spoken. German is a plus

In our headquarters in Neubiberg near Munich, more than 6000 employees are working in research & development, several central functions, IT and many more.

Infineon designs, develops, manufactures, and markets a broad range of semiconductors and semiconductor-based solutions, focusing on key markets in the automotive, industrial, and consumer sectors. Its products range from standard components to special components for digital, analog, and mixed-signal applications to customer-specific solutions together with the appropriate software.

– Power & Sensor Systems (PSS) drives leading-edge power management, sensing, and data transfer capabilities –

The PSS division powers decarbonization and digitalization with a wide range of energy-efficient and digital solutions. PSS semiconductors help avoid carbon emissions, use resources sustainably, manage power effectively and intelligently, give ‘things’ smart senses, and process data quickly and reliably. The portfolio includes power, connectivity, RF, and sensor system technologies to develop smaller, lighter, smarter, and more efficient solutions for consumer devices, smart home/building applications, robotics, computing and data centers, charging devices, power tools, and much more.

The next generation of silicon and wide-bandgap (SiC and GaN) solutions provides unparalleled performance and reliability for 5G, big data, and renewable energy applications. These materials are paving the way for further energy and carbon savings. Highly precise XENSIV™ sensor solutions are enabling IoT devices to react intuitively to their surroundings for seamless user interactions while audio amplifiers bring exceptional sound experiences to smart speakers and other audio use cases.

We are on a journey to create the best Infineon for everyone.

This means we embrace diversity and inclusion and welcome everyone for who they are. At Infineon, we offer a working environment characterized by trust, openness, respect and tolerance and are committed to give all applicants and employees equal opportunities. We base our recruiting decisions on the applicant´s experience and skills.

We look forward to receiving your resume, even if you do not entirely meet all the requirements of the job posting.

Please let your recruiter know if they need to pay special attention to something in order to enable your participation in the interview process.
