The company:

Sensata Technologies is a global industrial technology company striving to create a safer, cleaner, more efficient and electrified world. Through its broad portfolio of mission-critical sensors, electrical protection components and sensor-rich solutions, Sensata helps its customers address increasingly complex engineering and operating performance requirements. With more than 18,000 employees and global operations in 13 countries, Sensata serves customers in the automotive, heavy vehicle & off-road, industrial, and aerospace markets.

Internship:

The purpose of this internship is to investigate and optimize the thermal management of busbars used in electric vehicle (EV) systems, particularly in applications where one side of the busbar is exposed to significant heat due to components such as contactors or fuses, while the other side is actively cooled. These components have strict maximum operating temperature limits that must not be exceeded to ensure system reliability and safety.

This research will focus on how the integration of heatsinks can contribute to improved thermal performance. The study will combine theoretical analysis with the design and execution of thermal experiments. The goal is to develop practical design guidelines or solutions that can be applied in real-world EV power distribution systems, aligning with Sensata Technologies' focus on high-performance sensing and power management solutions.
