Job description:

Work Area: Power Electronics
Project overview: The work to be developed by the researcher is framed within the activities of the Smart Grids and Electric Vehicles Laboratory of INESC TEC, namely: a) the design and specification of power conversion systems and electric vehicles chargers, considering hybrid AC/DC networks and green hydrogen production; b) construction of digital twins of components/assets and application of artificial intelligence algorithms to optimize the operation and maintenance of facilities with renewable-based electricity generation. The work will also include production, testing, validation, and demonstration of technological solutions developed for different projects.
Objectives: Design, specification, and implementation of power conversion systems (e.g., inverters, electric vehicle chargers); Development and operationalization of digital twins of components/assets from energy systems with renewable generation; Development of artificial intelligence algorithms for predictive control and maintenance of distributed energy resources in different contexts, such as hybrid AC/DC grids or green hydrogen production; Testing and validation in laboratory and real-world demonstration environment.

Academic Qualifications: Bachelor's degree or Master in electrical and computer engineering, electronics, power electronics, energy systems or other related.
Minimum profile required: Experience in the specification, design, and implementation of power electronics systems, MPPT algorithms and battery management, and printed circuit boards; Experience in simulation (e.g.MATLAB/Simulink or Modelica) and programming of real-time controllers for power conversion systems (e.g.Texas Instruments C2000); Experience in the implementation and development of MODBUS (TCP/RTU), CAN, REST, etc. communications.
Preference factors: Experience in the development and testing of embedded systems based on Linux and programming (e.g. Python, C); Experience in testing electronic converters in laboratory and field environments with thermography equipment, power/energy analysis, efficiency and electromagnetic compatibility; Fluency in English (spoken and written).

Funding Entity: funded by IAPMEI co-financed by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology I.P. (PIDDAC) and by the funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), through Operational Agenda for Competitiveness Factors Programme (POFC), project (reference 56
