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 electrical drive solutions for the automotive industry.
// Proposal Thesis Work
Vibration and rotational loads in soft magnetic composites (SMC). How are the components and materials affected by loads related to rotation in a motor design?
- Characterize the material by hardness testing, nanoindenter, tensile test and rotational loads over many cycles. What are the friction coefficients and surface roughness?
- Design and build objects under study, including test fixtures and materials required.
- Conduct tests together with supervisor
- Repeat measurements from 1.
- Perform analysis and synthesis of data
- Write the thesis report.

// 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.
// Your Profile
You are a (or a plurality of) Master Student(s) in Engineering, you have at least basic knowledge of electrical machines, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, measurement systems, and manufacturing methods. It will help to have some practical skills as the intention is to build and test.
Communication in English or Swedish is a requirement. The thesis shall be written in English.

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:
• 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 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 a return trip (provided that the person’s registered address is at least 50 km from the company). This applies to students who write master's Thesis projects and for interns from University/University in Sweden and abroad.
We are small company but value interactions with students, so contact us if you are interested in summer jobs and we will consider you.
