The opportunity

Join our System and Automation team at the Swiss research center and contribute to cutting-edge converter technologies. You will work on control strategies for Hybrid Modular Multilevel Converters, supported by dynamic, multidisciplinary teams. This six-month internship offers a unique chance to apply your technical expertise and grow in a collaborative, innovation-driven environment. If you're motivated to shape a more sustainable energy future, we’d love to hear from you.

How you’ll make an impact

• Support the technology development and research activities in the formulation of control concepts for Hybrid Modular Multilevel Converter topologies

• Develop simulation prototypes to assess the transient performance of the control architecture under different types of faults

• Perform state-of-the-art analysis and technology reviews. Benchmark the achieved results against state-of-the-art solutions for the given application

• Disseminate and report your results with the teams, write technical documentation, propose creative and efficient solutions towards industrial implementation

Your background

• Enrolled in an MSc program in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, Control and Automation Engineering or a related field
