Role & Missions
The Silicon Mobility solution is based on OLEA® FPCU (Field Programmable Control Unit that embeds a CPU core, programmable logic, memories, and peripherals) System-on-Chip dedicated to automotive applications.
During this apprenticeship, the apprentice will join the R&D system team. The apprentice will participate in the optimization of advanced e-motor control algorithms.
This apprenticeship aims to analysing, defining, developing, and testing these algorithms
During the apprenticeship period, several tasks will be addressed:
- Learning phase and research
The apprentice will get familiar with the Inverter control algorithms and the development tools including OLEA® COMPOSER environment and the AGILE development flow. The apprentice will perform research work on advanced e-motor control algorithms and will start to evaluate solutions under Matlab/Simulink.
- Specification and implementation
During this phase, the apprentice will participate in the selection of the most appropriate solution to be implemented. The solution will be fully specified and implemented using Silicon Mobility development flow. Due to the safety-related features, this development shall comply with the ISO 26262 development guidelines
3. Verification and Documentation
During this task, the apprentice will have to verify and characterize the efficiency of the advanced control algorithms in different configuration using our Model In the Loop and Hardware in the Loop test environments. A user guide will be then redacted to help users to configure these algorithms.
