Experience
- BRUSA HyPower AGHardware Design EngineerAUTOMOBILEJune 2023 - Today (3 years)SwitzerlandI lead the system-level optimization for an 11kW onboard charger, bridging the gap between theoretical design and final product. My work centers on building "Digital Twins" in PLECS to validate thermal and electrical performance before prototyping, which allows me to close the design loop with high precision. I also developed an internal Python/Rust framework to automate loss modeling and efficiency estimation, significantly reducing manual analysis time. Beyond simulation, I design custom magnetic components and AC/DC EMC filters to meet rigorous CISPR 25 standards, and I support the firmware team with CAN communication interfaces for high-power industrial converters.
- BRUSA HyPower AGSystem Engineering TraineeAUTOMOBILEJanuary 2023 - June 2023 (5 months)SwitzerlandDuring my traineeship, I took full ownership of developing a 15kW bidirectional DC-DC converter based on a novel soft-switching topology. I designed the complete power stage hardware and implemented the real-time control algorithms on a TI C2000 DSP. This role required me to handle the entire engineering lifecycle—from schematic capture and PCB layout to writing the C code for the digital controller. I successfully validated the prototype in the lab, achieving soft-switching under continuous conduction mode (CCM) and proving the viability of the concept for high-efficiency automotive applications.
