Power Electronics Control Intern

The role

You will contribute to the design, modeling, analysis, and validation of advanced power conversion systems. This includes AC-DC and DC-DC converters used in low-voltage and medium-voltage applications.

What you will do

• Assist in modeling and analysis of power converters and control loops using control-oriented techniques.
• Support development and evaluation of control strategies for AC-DC and DC-DC power converters.
• Help characterize system behavior, including stability, transient response, and operating limits.
• Participate in laboratory testing, debugging, and validation of power electronics hardware.
• Support data collection, analysis, and documentation of experimental results.
• Collaborate with hardware, firmware, and system engineers on power electronics development tasks.
• Contribute to simulation and modeling activities using industry-standard tools.
• Follow safe laboratory practices when working with high-voltage and high-power systems.

Required qualifications

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field.
• Academic coursework or project experience in power electronics, control systems, or related areas.
• Basic understanding of power converter operation and control concepts.
• Familiarity with control fundamentals such as feedback, stability, and transient response.
• Ability to analyze technical problems and learn new concepts quickly.
• Willingness to work hands-on in a laboratory environment under supervision.

Nice to have

• Coursework or project experience involving power electronics converters or control systems.
• Exposure to modeling and simulation tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS, or PSIM.
• Basic programming experience in C/C++, Python, or MATLAB.
• Familiarity with laboratory instrumentation such as oscilloscopes and power supplies.
• Interest in advanced power conversion systems (e.g., medium-voltage, multilevel, or SST architectures).
