Spring 2026 Semester | Electric Motor Driver and Power Systems

The Electric Motor Driver and Power Systems unit is responsible for activities such as power electronics (such as ESC, motor driver hardware) design, electric machine (such as BLDC, PMSM) design, electronic hardware design (such as ECU, FADEC), and sensor design. Additionally, electrical power generation architecture design and analysis activities are also carried out.
Within the scope of project requirements; activities such as internal combustion engine control unit hardware, electric motor magnetic design, and driver hardware designs and analysis are performed.
Through these activities, electronic testing, integration, and analysis of internal combustion piston, turboprop, turbofan, and turbojet engines are conducted.
The unit consists of 4 different teams.

Application Criteria:

Applications are expected from candidates who are studying or have recently graduated from the departments of Electrical Engineering, Electrical-Electronics Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or Control and Automation Engineering. Applications from candidates studying in other departments will not be considered.

• Electric Motor and Driver Team

The Electric Motor and Driver Team operates in the design, integration, and testing of electric machines and drivers to be used in different platforms.
Within the scope of development activities of brushed/brushless motor drivers and generator controllers, activities such as creating hardware architecture, modeling, and PCB design are carried out.

The modeling, magnetic design, and production processes of various types of electric machines used for mechanical propulsion in air vehicles and for electrical power generation are also within the team's area of responsibility.

• Motor Electronics Development Team

The Motor Electronics Development Team carries out the development activities of the electronic hardware of internal combustion engines (ICE).
The processes such as preparing hardware architectures, PCB designs, post-production testing, and system integration for motor avionics like Engine Control Units (ECU, FADEC) and Motor Data Recorders are managed by the team.

• Motor Power and Instrumentation Team

The Motor Power and Instrumentation Team operates in the areas of electrical power generation systems and architecture studies.
The design, integration, and testing activities of motor power distribution units are carried out.
Testing and analysis activities of the electrical power systems of air vehicles (such as TB2, TB3, AKINCI, KIZILELMA) are also among the team's responsibilities.
Additionally, the selection of instrumentation and actuator systems of piston, turboprop, turbofan, and turbojet engines, as well as the establishment, design, and testing of their electrical systems, are conducted.

• Project Management Team

The Project Management Team plays an active role in the planning and execution of the projects of the teams within the Propulsion Electronic Systems Development Group.
They identify potential issues in advance to ensure the progress of projects according to designated timelines, take necessary precautions, and maintain coordination between the relevant teams.
Additionally, the team manages coordination between the Propulsion Electronic Systems Development Group and other units regarding quality management, configuration management, engineering change management, and requirements management.
