Applications Engineer Intern

Allegro Microsystems France is offering 3 different Internships:

- Internship _ Automatic design opt PCB position sensors

The goals of this internship are:

- Master Allegro existing tools for sensor simulations and PCB design.
- Study and define novel optimization schemes to improve sensor accuracy and resolution.
- Implement novel functionalities to the simulation and design tools, such as multi target simulations, ferrous target simulations or curved PCB design.
- Validate simulations results with FEM simulations and lab measurements.

Prerequisites:

- Student in last year of engineering studies.
- Background in electrical engineering, microengineering or physics.
- Solid electromagnetism and numerical modelling knowledge.
- Strong programming skills in C, C++, Python, MATLAB or equivalent.
- Knowledge of a PCB design tool (Altium, EAGLE, KiCAD or equivalent).
- Good presentation and communication (verbal and written) skills in English language.
- Design optimization of PCB-based torque sensors.

The goals of this internship are:

- Optimize current torque sensor design to reduce sources of errors due to non-idealities and to the mechanical tolerances.
- Update Allegro design generation tool with implemented optimizations.
- Validate optimizations with FEM simulations and lab measurements.
- Propose and study potential design alternatives.

Prerequisites:

- Student in last year of engineering studies.
- Background in electrical engineering, microengineering or physics.
