About The Position

As a Power Electronics Control Intern, you will contribute to the design, modeling, analysis, and validation of advanced power conversion systems, including AC-DC and DC-DC converters used in low-voltage and medium-voltage applications. This internship provides hands-on exposure to real-world power electronics development, with an emphasis on control systems, system-level behavior, and laboratory validation. You will work closely with experienced power electronics, firmware, and system engineers, contributing through analysis, simulation, implementation support, and experimental evaluation of advanced power converters under technical guidance.

Requirements

• 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 Haves

• 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).

Responsibilities

• 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.
