Job Description

What to Expect

Optimizing each and every automotive system is vital to our success, making driving electric vehicles accessible to a wider audience. As an intern, you will be a vital part of our Electric Motor design and optimization group in the South EU region. Our internship is like no other, in that you will take on real responsibility from day one and there are really no limits to what you can achieve. We foster an environment in which anyone can take on projects and truly make a difference to our business success.

What You’ll Do

• Understand in-depth and expand an SQL database holding detailed powertrain data.
• Improve the MATLAB API employed to access the above SQL database.
• Create, modify and extend UI tools (MATLAB Apps) employed by motor designers during their design/optimization efforts.
• Above Apps should be interacting with the SQL, a large repository of data, MATLAB and the end user in a seamless way.
• Create intuitive, modern-looking visualization graphs to present various metrics.
• Develop and document new code in our Motor Design MATLAB suite.
• Perform code-optimizations to allow for faster and resource-efficient simulations.

What You’ll Bring

• Studies in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science (active student status throughout the internship period is a prerequisite). 
• Fluent in English.
• Feel comfortable in using MATLAB. (There will be a skill assesment)
• Strong interest in the technical field of software design.
• Excellent communication skills: accurate, methodic, succinct, to the point.
• Desire to learn new skills, design and communicate flowcharts before delving into coding.
• Ability to work in a multinational and cultural environment.

The following will be considered as plus:

• Understanding of electrical machine design and power electronics.
• Understanding of big-data problems and distributed processing.
