FPT Motorenforschung AG in Arbon has around 250 highly qualified employees working with commitment and acknowledged
success. As the main innovation center for FPT Industrial, the site is involved in developing FPT Industrials’ future powertrain
solutions (not only in electrified powertrains, hybrids and fuel cells, but also novel engines concepts and alternative fuels) and is
therefore at the forefront of a transition towards a future of alternative propulsion systems.

Marie Curie Fellowship in Advanced Motor Controls and

Condition Monitoring for Commercial Vehicles

As a member of the eDrive Team in the Electrified Powertrain Engineering division of FPT Industrial, you will be part of a highly
skilled team driven to design and engineer best-in-class electrical motors and inverters for FPT Industrial electrified powertrain
product portfolio. You will support the engineering, development and integration of Advanced Motor Controls and Diagnostic for
Condition Monitoring. You will be contributing to the development of a high efficiency and low ripple motor control with focus on
advanced methods and technologies to enable eMotor and Inverter diagnostics (insulation, bearing, magnets, electronics, …).

Your tasks

• Literature / State of art review on advanced eMotor Control for high efficiency and low ripples in addition to Condition
  Monitoring of key eMotor and Inverter parts for their state of health


• Define/Simulate Advanced Motor Control either selected from State of the art or from new proposal


• Define/Simulate Condition Monitoring for key eMotor and Inverter parts with highest risks of decay and failure (winding
  insulation, bearing, power electronic devices, Capacitances, …)


• Identify HW/Inverter configuration and embedded instrumentation to fulfil the above Advanced Control and Condition
  Monitoring


• Conduct design iterations on selected initial solution for prototyping, with adequate reporting


• Design of experiments/ accelerated stress test to collect required data for development and validation for performance and
  functionality then for endurance and reliability tests


• Interfacing with other institutions and coordinating potential work packages to be executed by universities (ETH /EPFL…)

Your profile

• You hold a Ph.D. in the field of Electrical Drives, ideally with focus on traction applications (on/off road) by September 2021
  (MSCA requirement)


• You have less than 8 years full-time equivalent experience in research after PhD, by September 2021 (MSCA requirement)


• European nationals or long-term residents within EU Member States or Horizon Europe Associated Countries of at least
  five consecutive years (MSCA requirement)


• You are an expert in the field of electrical Motor control, electrical motors modeling/manufacturing/testing, sensors and
  signal processing.


• You have very good knowledge of programming in MATLAB/Simulink,Circuit simulation tools


• You have Good knowledge of Electromagnetic, Mechanical and thermal aspects for eMotor and Inverter


• You have very good knowledge of experimental planning, data interpretation and processing


• You have strong analytical skills


• You are pro-active, self-starter, able to troubleshoot test stations and test hardware


• You are able to manage budget, time plans and ordering of parts for experiments


• You are fluent in English

The selected researcher will be contacted for MSCA development and training opportunity. We will support the candidate to prepare
and submit the proposal. The candidates, whose proposal will be accepted by EU, will work with the eDrive team at FPT.
