Electrical Engineer
You are responsible for the design and implementation of all the electronics of the exoskeleton.
How do you make sure the exoskeleton walks
As an Electrical Engineer you have to make sure all components of the exoskeleton get the power they need. You do not only realize this by designing cable structures but you are also responsible for the battery and the voltage converters. Furthermore, you are responsible for the design of the Printed Circuit Boards and make sure this all functions with the least amount of noise and interference as possible. You will be involved in the entire design of the exoskeleton, because electronics are needed everywhere. Another challenge is making the exoskeleton safe for the pilot. With a broad knowledge of electronics and a dose of perseverance you will be alright!
What you will do as Electrical Engineer
As an Electrical Engineer, you will design Printed Circuit Boards, including the Power Distribution Board, using design and simulation software before putting them together physically and thoroughly testing them. You have a lot of contact with almost all departments. You will need to discuss the requirements of the several parts of the exoskeleton and discuss which improvements are possible and which are not. Furthermore, you conduct research on how to supply the needed power to each part without creating noise inside the exoskeleton. Since very specific electrical knowledge is needed, you will stay in contact with many external partners. In addition, you are responsible for all electronic safety features within the exoskeleton.
