Job Responsibilities:

Focus area: High-Precision Embedded Low-Current Measurement for Automotive Test Equipment

This thesis offers a unique opportunity to work on a real engineering challenge within embedded electronics and precision measurement. Your work will contribute directly to the development of Magna's in-house automotive test equipment platform, used to verify and validate next-generation electronic control units (ECUs) and vehicle technologies.

As automotive electronics become increasingly sophisticated, the demands on measurement accuracy continue to grow. Magna has developed an advanced test equipment platform capable of simulating network traffic, generating bus loads, monitoring communication interfaces, and measuring electrical parameters.

The objective of this thesis is to investigate the limitations of the existing low-current measurement implementation and identify the dominant error sources affecting accuracy in the 10 μA to 100 μA range. Based on these findings, you will evaluate modern sensing technologies and architectures capable of accurately measuring currents from 10 μA up to 10 A while supporting sampling rates above 4 kHz.

Expected outcome

Through this thesis, you will have the opportunity to:

Analyze an existing current measurement solution and understand its technical potential
Investigating factors that influence measurement accuracy in low-current applications
Explore and compare different current sensing technologies and measurement approaches
Design and simulate a potential high-precision measurement solution
Validate concepts through simulation, laboratory testing and prototyping
