The Electrical teams at Rolls-Royce both in Budapest and Munich have a long history and breadth of experience in developing technology for electric flight, and they are working at full speed on programmes that will deliver propulsion products for the Advanced Air Mobility market. For students, this offers a really exciting opportunity to develop fundamental competence while working on real projects that will transform how we travel over the coming decades.
As an intern my tasks were diverse, and my mentor started my development path within the framework of an important project right from the start. I worked in the field of electrical machine design, doing electromagnetic simulations. In the meantime, many requests for model-based software development and competence development came up, so I drifted into that direction.
When I moved to Germany, I was given a very interesting project in addition to software development: high-frequency modelling of drive train components, and within this we are investigating the propagation of voltage waves. I consider myself lucky to being involved in such exciting activities so early on in my engineering career.
