Company Activities

General

High pressure (180-3000 Bar) automotive sensors for under the hood applications are in general exposed to a harsh environment with respect to temperature, mechanical vibrations and EMC. These sensors are equipped with electronics to convert a (fluid) pressure signal from the analogue mechanical domain to the electrical domain by means of an ASIC. Each application (car) has its own demand on electrical performance and characteristics. Therefore, electrical design optimizations are desired for the specific needs. These optimizations need to be validated/tested by balancing a pragmatic approach with an design for six sigma approach. 

Assignment

The work studentship consists of analyzing existing electrical designs by model checks and experiments. Setting up design of experiments (DOE’s) will be part of the task to indentify further design improvements.

The preference is to expand the assignment also to mechanical studies, so affinity with mechanics is highly desired.

Main Goals

Support design engineers in electrical design and EMC and other electrical analysis of current designs and design changes. Mechanical oriented work can also be part of the job.
