Position Overview:

We are offering an exciting opportunity for a student to join our team and contribute to the integration of a microcontroller in a redundant power supply system for space applications. The project involves enhancing an existing power supply by developing a multi-channel system, automating configuration processes, and implementing a defined communication protocol with an On-Board Computer (OBC).

​

Tasks:

• Design and develop a multi-channel power supply system to replace the existing single-channel setup.

• Automate configuration processes using a microcontroller and develop a compact PCB design.

• Implement functionality to enable power supply channels to be turned on in a specific order.

• Identify and select the most suitable microcontroller for the project considering space constraints and cost limitations.

• Develop a defined communication protocol for seamless integration with the On-Board Computer (OBC).

​

Required Skills:

• Proficiency in PCB development.

• Basic understanding of DC power electronics.

• Strong programming skills in C and experience with microcontroller programming.

• Familiarity with low-level communication protocols such as UART, I2C, or SPI is preferred but not mandatory.

​

Qualifications:

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.

• Previous experience with hardware development and microcontroller programming is advantageous.

• Ability to work independently and as part of a team, with excellent problem-solving skills.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to document and present work effectively.

​

Duration and Location:

• This position is available as a Bachelor's/Master's thesis project or internship.

• The duration and location of the position can be flexible based on the candidate's availability and circumstances.

​

Application Instructions:

Interested candidates are encouraged to submit their resume, cover letter, and any relevant reference or project work to personal@em-munich.de. Please include "Integration of Microcontroller in Power Supply" in the subject line of your email.

​

We look forward to welcoming a motivated student to our team and working together to advance space technology innovation. Join us in shaping the future of space exploration!
