Job description:
Work Area: Engineering
Project overview: - Specification of high-performance power conversion systems according to the state of the art; - Design and specification of appropriate converters for smart inverters and chargers; - Integration of smart management and control algorithms through embedded local systems for standalone (offline) and interconnected (online) operation; - Implementation of operating modes compatible with hierarchical and decentralized control systems to support the operation of the electrical distribution networks or energy communities; - Production, testing, validation, and demonstration of technological solutions developed for different projects.
Objectives: - Define requirements for power conversions systems for different types of application; - Design, specification and implementation of power conversion systems (e.g., inverters, electric vehicle chargers, etc.); - Development of management and control algorithms based on centralized and distributed strategies; - test and validation in laboratory and real demonstration environments;
Academic Qualifications: Bacharel or Master electrical and computer engineering; electronics; power electronics; energy systems; other related Minimum profile required:
- Experience in the specification, design and implementation of power electronics systems, MPPT algorithms and battery management, and printed circuit boards;
- Experience in simulation (e.g. MATLAB/Simulink) and programming of real-time controllers for power
conversion systems (e.g. Texas Instruments C2000);
- Experience in the implementation and development of communications based on protocols MODBUS
(TCP/RTU), CAN, REST, among others;
Preference factors: - Experience in the development and testing of embedded systems based on Linux and programming (e.g
Python, C); - Experience in testing electronic power converters in laboratory and field environments with
thermography equipment, power/energy analysis, efficiency and electromagnetic compatibility; - Fluency in
English (spoken and written);
