WE'RE IN IT FOR THE STUDENTS /
Are you ready to help shape the future of e-mobility? We look forward to your expertise and your contribution to the sustainable development of pioneering e-mobility solutions - whether as pioneer in electromagnetic, thermal, mechanical or system architecture solutions. Show us your expertise!
MASTER THESIS
The development of eDrives goes far beyond the electric machine. To achieve increasingly challenging requirements on cost, efficiency, performance and sustainability, an efficient interaction of motor, power electronics, mechanical integration as well as the control strategy is required. Show us your expertise!
Interested in the master thesis on the following topics?
As a student on a master program, you have the possibility to do your thesis work at Alvier Mechatronics AB, an exciting start-up affiliated with Höganäs AB, which develops eMachine solutions.
// About Thesis Work
Magnetic materials are a key component in electrical machines, affecting both efficiency and peak performance. With the growing demand for higher power density and improved efficiency, the development of higher performing soft magnetic materials has become increasingly important.
The objective of this thesis is to characterize a new soft magnetic material through measurements and analysis. Several test objects shall be measured with Brockhaus measurement instruments to evaluate the material’s magnetic properties. The study will focus on analyzing key characteristics such as saturation and losses for multiple operational points and with different dimensions of the material.
To evaluate its potential, the material will be compared against reference test objects made from traditional laminated steel and soft magnetic composite (SMC) materials. If the measurements indicate promising properties, the material data will be imported into a FEA simulation tool for simulation studies. The simulation results will then be compared with measurements to validate the material model and assess its suitability for use in electrical machines.
// Your Profile
You are a master’s student in electrical engineering, engineering physics or similar with interest in magnetism and at least some basic knowledge in electrical machines. Experience with FEA tools (such as JMAG, ANSYS or FEMM) and CAD software are beneficial. Communication in English or Swedish is a requirement. The thesis shall be written in English.

// About Thesis Work
Apply AI to shape the future of e-drives.
Alvier is developing an AI tool MADAi (Motor Assisted Design with Artificial Intelligence) to generate preliminary designs for electric motors based on industrial specifications. In this role, you will be responsible for suggesting feasible existing approaches from the literature for this application. Furthermore, you will collaborate with the electromagnetic team to list the essential "macro design parameters" used in the motor design process, drawing on data from both published literature and Alvier's internal sources. Finally, the multiple approaches you identify will be implemented, tested, and compared to determine the most effective solution. We seek motivated students who possess a keen passion for AI and its integration within electrical engineering. We envision you as a thinker adept at tackling challenges, equipped with keen analytical abilities and a collaborative mindset.
// Your Profile
You enjoy Python programming and staying current with the latest techniques in LLM (large language models). You're eager to explore recent methods related to LLM and apply them to the targeted application.
You are pursuing or hold a master’s degree in computer science, electrical engineering, or similar field from a university in Sweden or abroad, and you possess fluent verbal and written communication skills in English.

// About Thesis Work
Thermal management is a key aspect when designing electrical machines in general, and even more so in automotive traction systems. Most electrical vehicles on the road today tend to use water jacket cooling and/or spray oil cooling of some kind. The spray oil cooling typically provides superior performance but comes with the drawbacks of increased cost, weight, and complexity due to the added components (pump, heat exchanger, filter).
The objective for this thesis work will be to evaluate the cooling performance of some novel concepts and compare them to water jacket cooling on an automotive traction electrical machine. The evaluation should preferably contain both simulations and measurements on a prototype of the novel concepts based on an existing electrical machine. A key metric will be the continuous current density for each cooling concept.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS /
Yes, the student receives SEK 1,500 per university credit point (ordinary tax is deducted from the amount) if the student meets the following criteria:
• Enrolled at a university in Sweden and holds a Swedish personal identity number or a coordination number
• Approved thesis work by the university (Approved grade sent to the responsible HR Coordinator before payment is made)
• Approved thesis work by supervisor at company (Possibly having a presentation for stakeholders in the company)
Yes, apartment rental for students studying at universities is available for the desired period. High school students are excluded. Rent is paid by the student on a monthly basis.
Students who write their master thesis with us are not compensated for travel back and forth to Helsingborg, unless this is because we demand special travel during the thesis work.
On the other hand, the company can provide 1- 6 return travels home (in Sweden) if you study at a Swedish University and 1 return travel if you live and study abroad. (This is provided that the person’s registered address is at least 50 km from the company).
We are small company but value interactions with students, so contact us if you are interested in summer jobs and we will consider you.
