Présentation

Description de l'emploi :

CRYOPROP is a 3-year effort to explore the potential of superconducting materials and cryogenic temperatures on the performance of an aircraft’s electrical propulsion system.

As a ground-test demonstrator, CRYOPROP is an ambitious, futuristic and disruptive superconducting and cryogenic experimental powertrain for hybrid/full electric propulsion system.

CRYOPROP will be composed of an ground-test electric demonstrator including a superconducting DC/AC network, a cryogenic motor control unit, a superconducting electric motor and of a cryogenic system. It also includes a ground-test cryogenic demonstrator, to analyse the behaviour of cryogenic components (heat-exchanger, valves, cryofan) for the cryogenic cooling system.

The opportunity of an internship on superconducting AC coils has risen within the team, based in Toulouse.

This internship will ideally begin September 2026 and will last for a period of 4 months.

Main Missions

This internship investigates the electromagnetic interactions between AC-operated superconducting coils and surrounding metallic structures, such as vacuum chambers and piping. Your principal missions will be:

• Simulation and calculation of the losses in a superconducting coil in different electric conditions and environment.
• Perform electrical measurement on a superconducting coil at cryogenic temperature in liquid nitrogen or cooled by cryogenic helium. This includes instrumenting the coils to perform the different relevant measurements.
• Conceptualize a small test bench to validate the theoretical results.
• Compile and analyze the experimental results to compare them to theoretical calculations.
• Derive some design rules for upgrading the existing test bench.

You will need to collaborate with a diverse technical team in order to understand the multi-disciplinary constraints around the superconducting coil.

An open personality and the ability to work with a good autonomy level in a multi-cultural business environment will be necessary.

Your boarding pass

As the successful candidate you will be able to demonstrate some or all of the following skills and competencies:

• Master degree in electrical engineering or equivalent
• Strong knowledge of electromagnetics
• Previous knowledge in finite element modeling
• Familiarity with superconductivity and cryogenics will be appreciated
• Autonomy, Adaptability, Availability, Accountability
• Team-Player
• Hands-on and solution oriented attitude
• Passionate about technology, science
• Sharing the values of transparency, courage, humility, empathy
• Willing to have fun.
