Tasks:

• understand existing PCBs and schematics
• design new or update existing schematics
• transfer schematic onto PCB layout
• assemble and commission PCBs

Profile:

• basic knowledge about electronic concepts such as filtering and semiconductors
• basic knowledge about data buses such as I²C, SPI, UART, CAN
• motivation to get into working with new software tools such as Altium, LTspice

What awaits you:

In the PCB subteam of our electrical department, we focus on developing PCBs for various applications. A lot of PCBs embed MCUs which can be used for input/output handling and data processing. There are multiple projects available, e.g.:

• charge control PCB
• commissioning supporter PCB
• CAN programmer
• BLDC controller
• CAN – LTE interface
• USB CAN interface
• Ground Speed Sensor

For getting in touch with our PCB designer software — Altium — there is a tutorial available explaining its use and some basic schematics we use across most of our PCBs.

Time expenditure: At least 10 hours per Week
