As a member of the Power Conversion Co-op/Intern Engineering Team, you will play a vital role in contributing to the development of electrical power conversion systems tailored for various applications, including naval, industrial, marine, and Oil & Gas sectors. The scope of your work will encompass medium voltage (MV) and low voltage (LV) power converters, motors, transformers, E-houses, switchgear, and control systems, along with the associated power systems engineering. This position is designed for individuals who are passionate about innovation and eager to electrify and decarbonize the world, operating with a founder's mindset that emphasizes speed, courage, and a commitment to quality and safety. In this role, you will learn to prepare and review detailed technical specifications that ensure compliance with customer requirements for large industry, marine, and naval power converters. You will also be involved in developing and delivering base software packages, which include a list of libraries, system versions, and test reports for typical project configurations. Your responsibilities will extend to creating engineering artifacts related to power converters, such as software specifications, control specifications, and factory acceptance test procedures. Additionally, you will gain experience in modeling power electronic controls, developing test plans, and managing the software design process for specific projects. This internship offers a unique opportunity to engage with cutting-edge technology and contribute to projects that have a significant impact on the energy sector. You will be expected to work full-time during the day shift, with a commitment of 40 hours per week, and the internship term is set from September to November/December 2025.
