#WeAreIn to create tiny chips and big careers. Are you ready to take the first step in your career? Let's shape the future together! Whether you join as a student, intern, or trainee, you'll be part of something real - real projects, real impact, and real opportunities to grow. Are you in?

At KAI, we create reliability test methods and systems for novel power semiconductors. For a test system in development, we plan to evaluate different methods for per-site thermal management including investigations on mixing different media of heat transportation (solid, air, liquid). Therefore, during your thesis project, we expect you to become a growing expert for temperature control and heat flow modelling, with a strong focus on System Integration and Calibration. 

Key responsibilities in your new role

• Research and Learning: Learn about Infineon’s Smart Power Switches and how they are tested for reliability
• Skill Development: Improve your skills in Circuit Simulations, PCB Design, and thermal management using state-of-the-art tools
• Study and Evaluation: Study different heating/cooling topologies and develop an evaluation scheme to scientifically compare them
• Design and Prototyping: Design, build and evaluate a working prototype of an accurate dynamic thermal management system
• Documentation and Reporting: Document your results by writing and submitting your Master thesis

This thesis has to be written in cooperation with a university.
