Content / mission
The Silicon Mobility solution is based on OLEA® FPCU (Field Programmable Control Unit that embeds a CPU core, programmable logic, memories, and peripherals) System-on-Chip dedicated to automotive applications.
During this internship, the intern will join the R&D system team. The intern will participate in the optimization of advanced e-motor control algorithms.
This internship aims to analysing, defining, developing, and testing these algorithms.
During the internship period, several tasks will be addressed:
- Learning phase and research
The intern will get familiar with the inverter control algorithms and the development tools including the AGILE development flow. The intern will perform research work on advanced e-motor control algorithms and will start to evaluate solutions under Matlab/Simulink.
- Specification and implementation
During this phase, the intern will participate in the selection of the most appropriate solution to be implemented. The solution will be fully specified and implemented using Silicon Mobility development flow.
This development shall comply with the ISO 26262 development guidelines
- Verification and Documentation
During this task, the intern will have to verify and characterize the efficiency of the advanced control algorithms in different configuration using our Model in the Loop and Hardware in the Loop test environments. A user guide will be then redacted to help users to configure these algorithms
Profile required
For this internship, we are looking for a candidate with good knowledge of power electronics, motor control algorithms, and embedded systems.
