Gustavo Pereira

Development of electronic modules and components with a focus on vehicle decarbonization. Accountable for defining and integrating electronic architectures for the brand's (VW) vehicles. Component Owner (Bauteilverantwortlicher), ensuring technical alignment across cross-functional teams and suppliers.

Developed electric vehicle technologies, including traction inverters (600V - 125kW peak), DC-DC converters and vehicle control units (VCU) from concept to testing. Designed custom PCBs based on TI's C2000 and NXP's MPC5775E. System evaluation of developed boards and control algorithms using hardware-in-the-loop. Field oriented control applied to permanent magnet synchronous machines aiming application e-axle applications. Leading a technical team using scrum and principles of test driven dev

Started Typhoon HIL's first branch outside the US and Europe. Provided support and demonstrations for Latin American customers. Prospecting new customers in Latin America. Technical collaboration with US and Serbia teams. Writing of technical documentation for application notes.

Developed mathematical models for real-time simulation of semiconductor losses through thermal interfaces and heatsinks. Improved semiconductor losses algorithm for MOSFETs with enhanced current sharing on synchronous rectification.

Conducted research and development for electric mobility projects. Designed DC and AC charging stations for electric vehicles, according to normatives and safety standards, created technical documentation, and team management using scrum.

Studied WEG variable frequency drives and provided support for firmware validation and hardware testing on site. Contributed to product documentation, software and user manual.

Studied transformerless modular multilevel converters (MMCs). VHDL for serial comm. and manufactured inductor elements for MMCs.

Managed electrical systems for a high-performance electric vehicle for Formula SAE Electric. Designed and executed telemetry and power electronics components.

Conducted research in speech processing, with a focus on automatic speaker identification and verification. Developed a speaker verification routine in MATLAB and used Python wrappers for scalability and benchmarking.
