Power Electronics Intern

Location: [City/Remote/Hybrid] Team: [Department/Product Area] The Impact You’ll Make Join our team as a Power Electronics Engineering Intern and help shape the firmware and control systems behind next-generation power converters. In this role, you will develop embedded firmware for TI C2000 DSPs, build Software- and Hardware-in-the-Loop test environments, and design and validate control loops that drive real-world power electronics performance. This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated EE, Computer Engineering, or Mechatronics student to gain hands‑on experience at the intersection of embedded systems and power conversion technology. Key Responsibilities Firmware track Develop and debug embedded firmware for TI C2000 DSPs driving power electronic converters Build Software-in-the-Loop and Hardware-in-the-Loop systems Build communication interfaces (CAN, SPI, I²C, UART, Modbus) between the controller and the wider system Bring up new boards, write test/diagnostic routines, and debug on the bench Control track Model power converter topologies and design/tune control loops (current, voltage, power) Translate control designs into fixed-point or floating-point implementations on TI DSPs Validate dynamic performance against simulation and on hardware The Skills You Bring Pursuing a B.Sc., M.Sc., or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field Familiarity with power electronics fundamentals (converter topologies, switching, magnetics) Programming in C (and ideally C2000 / TI DSP toolchains such as Code Composer Studio) Exposure to control theory and feedback systems Understanding of embedded communication protocols Comfort with lab instruments and a methodical debugging mindset Nice to Have Hands‑on experience with TI C2000 / Piccolo / Delfino MCUs MATLAB/Simulink for modeling and control design Prior project or coursework involving motor drives, inverters, or DC‑DC converters 1st Avenue Power is committed to a policy of Equal Employment Opportunity and will not discriminate against an applicant or employee based on race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, sex, gender, sexual orientation, age, veteran or military status, marital status, physical or mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, or any other legally recognized protected class under federal, state, or local law.
