The institute promotes critical thinking and an appreciation of the interdisciplinary character of knowledge, with an emphasis on the liberal arts, project oriented learning, compulsory courses in design and the life sciences, diversity and globalization.
Eligibility
Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, with good scientific publications and power electronics hardware experience. Candidates who have submitted their thesis may also apply. Experience in electric machines and drives, design and control using FPGA/DSP, know-how of power engineering simulations and modelling along with power hardware experience.
Job Description
The candidate will work on design and development of a three phase closed loop controlled induction motor drive rated 5-10kW for electric vehicle application. The project will involve design and development of a power electronics converter that will control the EV motor to provide required torque speed performance.
