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:
