Electrical Engineering Master internship - High voltage piezo amplifier design

Electrical Engineering Master Internship - High Voltage Piezo Amplifier Design

Introduction

At imaging electronics, we use a piezo amplifier (PIPA) designed for driving specific lens elements. This drives a multiplexed called the LAMA. We need to scale down the design we currently have and move the electronics from boards to a box. Using the latest technologies you will investigate the options, use simulations and analog design “protos”, to create a new state of the art front end of this piezo amplifier that performs similar or better than our current PIPA.

Your assignment

Investigate the current use case for the current PIPA. Gather the base specs for a new design especially the required drive capabilities (uF), speed, frequency response, feedback, calibration and parameterization possibilities of the new amplifier design for all lens elements. You will focus on the frontend design of the amplifier, simulate and verify the design and compare this with the existing PIPA designs. Important aspects are scalability, heat generation and power consumption.

This is a Master internship for 9 to 12 months starting as of September 2025.

Your profile

To be a perfect fit for this assignment, you:

• Are a Master student in Electrical engineering

You have technical knowhow on:

• Analog engineering
• Piezo experience is a nice to have

Furthermore, you have good communication skills to gather the required information, and you are eager to investigate the current case for the current PIPA.

Other requirements you need to meet:

• You are enrolled at an educational institute for the entire duration of the internship;
• You need to be located in the Netherlands to be able to perform your internship. In case you’re currently living/studying outside of the Netherlands, your CV/motivation letter includes the willingness to relocate.
• If you are a non-EU citizen, studying in the Netherlands, your university is willing to sign the documents relevant for doing an internship (i.e., Nuffic agreement).
