Details
Positions: Engineering Intern
Location: Redwood City, CA
Innovation Area: Energy, Food, Water, Human Health and Environment Nexus; Energy Efficiency
Position Type: TomKat Center-supported
Compensation: $8000
Internship Term: 8 weeks
Advanced Energy Industries, Inc., is a global leader in precision power conversion, measurement, and control technologies for applications across semiconductor, industrial, medical, telecommunications, and data storage industries.
In 2024, Advanced Energy expanded its capabilities with the acquisition of Airity Technologies, a Stanford spinout based in Redwood City, CA, specializing in advanced high-voltage, high-frequency power solutions. The Redwood City site, now part of Advanced Energy, focuses on power innovations in high-voltage pulsed power, DC, and RF sources, particularly for applications in plasma-based semiconductor manufacturing, plasma research, environmental technology, and medical equipment.
Responsibilities
The intern will be an integral part of our team as we work on several projects related to new pulsed high-voltage power products. The position may encompass a versatile set of responsibilities and including the design and implementation of electrical circuits and printed circuit boards, design and manufacturing of mechanical systems or end applications, or characterization and data analysis related to new products or projects.
Who Should Apply
We are looking for talented students eager to work on diverse problems. The typical candidate has a background in engineering or science fields but our previous experience with TomKat showed that the exact field matter less than a practical mindset, a willingness to take on the challenges of the moment, and an ability to get things done. Diverse candidates are highly encouraged to apply.
Required Expertise
We prefer an engineering or science background with at least some knowledge in electrical engineering. Prior experience in power electronics, embedded systems, or plasma science is highly valued.
Preferred Skills/Majors
Electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, engineering physics etc.
