Michele Roman

Power electronics system engineer with 7 years of experience developing power-conversion hardware for electric vehicles at ELDOR Corporation (Turin), one of Europe's automotive technology suppliers. I design traction inverters and e-axle power stages end-to-end: power semiconductor selection (SiC MOSFETs, IGBTs, GaN), converter architecture and system requirements under ISO 26262, schematic and PCB layout (Altium), circuit simulation (SIMetrix, Matlab), and the test and validation campaigns that take hardware from concept to working prototype — with several patents filed along the way.

I hold an M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Padova (109/110), with an Erasmus thesis at TU Munich on a cascaded H-bridge converter test bench.

Currently based in Italy. EU citizen, working languages English and Italian. Open to 6–12 month contract assignments across Europe in automotive and industrial power electronics — inverters, DC/DC converters, OBCs, and high-power converter systems.
