Electrical Engineering Intern (PhD)

Quick Facts

• Role: Electrical Engineering Intern (PhD)

• Focus: Power delivery networks (PDNs) and energy conversion architectures for next-generation compute and AI

• Work: Modeling/simulation, power analysis/optimization, prototype design and lab validation, automation, and documentation

Description

As an Electrical Engineering PhD intern, you will join an advanced power pathfinding team to explore, model, and prototype next-generation power delivery networks (PDNs) and energy conversion architectures. Your work targets power density, thermal, and efficiency bottlenecks to influence future product roadmaps. You’ll collaborate across teams while contributing to simulation, lab validation, and trade-off documentation.

Responsibilities

• Explore novel power delivery topologies (e.g., vertical power delivery, integrated voltage regulators, switched-capacitor converters, multi-stage DC-DC)

• Develop electrical, thermal, and electromagnetic models to evaluate switching behavior, power losses, transient response, and system-level trade-offs

• Build early-stage power estimation models to identify efficiency bottlenecks and evaluate low-power techniques

• Assist with schematic capture, PCB layout, and bench testing for proof-of-concept hardware/power stages and emerging wide-bandgap devices

• Write scripts to automate simulation sweeps, collect laboratory measurements, and perform root-cause analysis

• Document assumptions/test procedures/findings and present trade-off studies to cross-functional design teams

Requirements

• Currently pursuing a Doctorate Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field

• Must have at least one additional academic quarter/semester remaining after the internship ends

Benefits

• Work on real-world projects with collaboration across global teams

• Base pay: $5,690.00–$11,210.00 per month (Bay Area and NYC: $7,410.00–$12,250.00 per month)

• May be eligible for additional benefits and other compensation depending on role/location
