About the Role

As a Graduate Systems Engineering Intern – Power & Control, you will explore and prototype next-generation technologies across power electronics, motor control, and intelligent physical systems. You will apply advanced academic knowledge to real-world engineering challenges through system modeling, simulation, hardware development, and experimental validation. This role offers an opportunity to contribute directly to early-stage technology initiatives, collaborate with external ecosystem partners, and gain exposure to the technical and commercial considerations that shape new semiconductor technologies and businesses.

Responsibilities

Develop system-level models using MATLAB, Simulink, Simscape, and related tools to analyze electrical, mechanical, and control system behavior.
Evaluate system dynamics, stability, transient response, efficiency, and performance tradeoffs.
Support the modeling and evaluation of linear and nonlinear control systems, including feedback control, state-space methods, motor control techniques, and advanced control algorithms.
Explore opportunities for adaptive, predictive, and ML-augmented control.
Analyze isolated and non-isolated power conversion topologies, power distribution architectures, and associated electrical and thermal considerations.
Support the evaluation of converter performance, control strategies, and system-level integration.
Contribute to schematic capture, PCB design, component selection, and development of experimental hardware platforms.
Participate in board bring-up, debugging, and rapid iteration of proof-of-concept systems.
Perform hands-on testing and characterization using oscilloscopes, power analyzers, electronic loads, signal generators, and other laboratory instrumentation.
Develop experimental setups and measurement methodologies to evaluate system performance.
Correlate analytical and simulation results with experimental measurements, investigate discrepancies, and refine system models and technical assumptions.
Develop Python-based tools and scripts to automate simulations, process experimental data, visualize results, and support system characterization.
Explore opportunities to incorporate machine learning into engineering analysis and experimentation.
Research emerging technologies and engineering approaches in power electronics, motor control, advanced sensing, and intelligent physical systems.
Help evaluate the feasibility and performance potential of new technical concepts.
Work closely with Innovation Managers, systems architects, and engineering teams to translate early-stage technical hypotheses into measurable experiments, engineering models, and proof-of-concept demonstrations.
Participate in technical discussions and collaborative development activities with startups, technology vendors, universities, and research institutions.
Support the evaluation and integration of emerging technologies from external partners.
Collaborate with CVL team members in customer-facing technical discussions to understand application requirements, system constraints, and integration challenges.
Help translate customer feedback into technical experiments and prototype requirements.
Document experimental findings, present technical results, and contribute to engineering reviews that inform architectural decisions and the progression of innovation initiatives.

Requirements

Currently pursuing a Master's or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Control Systems, Power Electronics, or a related technical discipline.
Strong academic foundation in electrical circuits, power electronics, system dynamics, and feedback control theory.
Experience using MATLAB, Simulink, or comparable tools for system modeling, simulation, and analysis through academic research, coursework, or engineering projects.
Understanding of linear and nonlinear control systems, stability analysis, and fundamental control techniques.
Familiarity with DC/DC conversion, switching power supplies, motor drives, and isolated or non-isolated power architectures.
Exposure to circuit design, schematic capture, PCB development, or hardware prototyping through academic research, coursework, or personal projects.
Experience with electronic test equipment and a strong interest in hands-on experimentation, measurement, and hardware debugging.
Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to apply first-principles engineering analysis to unfamiliar technical challenges.
Ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams, communicate technical findings clearly, and operate in an exploratory research and development environment.
