YOUR ROLE 

Smart e-mobility and charging have a key role in the Automotive market evolution and Vehicle-2-Grid application are getting more and more pervasive. In fact, boundaries between vehicles and charging infrastructure are disappearing enabling additional services and smart applications thanks a deep integration between the electrical vehicles and the grid. One key component to enable such functionalities is the broad-band powerline modem based on a standard named Home Plug Green PHY. 

 The candidate will be responsible to work on the understanding of the V2G infrastructure and key system requirements focusing on the channel model study/characterization and proposing new possible methodologies/enhancements to self-estimate and calibrate PLC signal level and guarantee an optimal power spectral density (PSD) avoiding communication issues. The final goal will be to have a demonstrator with related software and firmware to test the proposed approach in a test environment. 

YOUR SKILLS & EXPERIENCES

• good knowledge of embedded systems and microcontrollers (Arduino, STM32) and embedded real time operating system (RTOS)
• Good knowledge of radio frequency and telecommunication principles
• Basic knowledge of Networking and Internet protocols including IP (UDP and TCP) 
• Familiarity with laboratory equipment
• Basic skills in Python and scripting languages are a plus.
