Research Team Manager - Mechanisms & Actuators

__

Looking for a taste of working life in an international, future-focused corporate group? Then join us as an intern/working student/master thesis student (m/f/d) and familiarize yourself with our industrial research team for a minimum of 6 months. You will be involved in large-scale projects and perform a defined set of duties independently. Use your time at ABB Corporate Research to build a network and help us develop future-proof technologies.

Key responsibilities

The work model for the role is: #LI-Hybrid

You will actively contribute to the development and extension of our test platform for driving novel electromagnetic actuators. You will focus on implementing highly dynamic control strategies using FPGA-based hardware.

You will be mainly accountable for:

• Literature review of dynamic control methods of electromagnetic actuators and motors. Identification of advantages and disadvantages in the scope of our applications.

• Selection and prioritization of control methods to be implemented.

• Simulation-based optimization and benchmarking of selected control methods.

• Implementation of the selected control methods using cRIO hardware and LabView programming environment.

• Review of our existing test platform hardware, if needed proposing and implementing updates.

• Design a test set-up to validate the implemented controls in dynamic drive applications.

• Contributing your own ideas and creativity to enhance existing control concepts and techniques.

• Documentation of the work and presentation to different ABB stakeholders.

Qualifications for the role

• You are currently enrolled in a Master's program in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related technical field.

• You have a solid theoretical background in electric drives and motor control. You are familiar with control techniques for AC motors such as field-oriented or direct torque control. Hands-on experience with synchronous reluctance (SynRM) or permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) is desirable.

• You have practical experience with programming tools for real-time control applications, such as MATLAB/Simulink, C/C++, or Python. Experience with LabView or cRIO controllers is a plus.

• You have a fundamental understanding of power electronics, including inverter operation, PWM techniques, and current sensing.

• You have hands-on experience with laboratory setups, particularly with electrical machines, power electronics, or drive systems.

• You bring strong communication skills and the ability to present technical results clearly in both written and spoken English.
