​​Marie-Curie (MSCA) PhD Position: Modelling and design of EMC magnetics for high-frequency, wide-bandgap power converters (Magnify DC13)​

The Opportunity

We are offering a fully funded 3-year PhD position as part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network 'MAGNIFY' (Grant Agreement No. 101226760). This research will be conducted under joint supervision by Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), Spain, and Hitachi Energy, Poland, with the PhD degree awarded by UPM.

The project focuses on developing improved and cost-effective EMC filter magnetics and accurate high-frequency (HF) simulation models. You will explore magnetic model extensions up to 100 MHz, integrate HF materials into differential-mode (DM) and common-mode (CM) filters, and analyze parasitic effects, winding geometries, and loss mechanisms.

This position is hosted at our Krakow office (Poland) within a global R&D organization.

You will be part of a dynamic, international research environment, with secondments to leading institutions across Europe. Apart from Krakow office assingment the rotations will include:

• HIT (Switzerland) - Prior-art review and EMC study of magnetic systems (Months 9-10)

• UPM (Madrid) - Advanced magnetic model extension techniques (Months 17-19)

• TAU (Finland) - Testing filters with WBG-based power converters (Months 26-28)

How You Will Make an Impact

• Design and model advanced EMC filter magnetics for high-frequency applications.

• Extend magnetic models to EMC frequency ranges (up to 100 MHz).

• Integrate HF materials and optimize winding geometries for DM and CM filters.

• A concise CV
• A motivation letter
• Transcripts of your Bachelor and Master
• At least 2 references which we will contact
