The Controls Design Engineering Associate is an onsite internship offering supervised experience in controls engineering. The associate will support product definition, design-standard updates, engineering documentation, and basic control-system analysis while learning Mitsubishi Power’s generating-unit technologies and design processes.

• Demonstrate our core competencies: action oriented, change champion, customer-focused, developing self and others, and ownership.
• Assist experienced engineers with product definition and routine controls design assignments.
• Review and update design standards, functional descriptions, logic drawings, schematics, implementation documents, and related records.
• Support controls projects involving turbine controllers, programmed devices, robotics, data acquisition, or similar applications.
• Review operational or test data in Excel, PI, or similar tools and assist with basic troubleshooting and root-cause investigations.
• Build knowledge of Mitsubishi Power’s design processes, generating units, control-system software, networks, instruments, and electronic devices.
• Maintain accurate documentation and clearly communicate progress, questions, and findings to the engineering team.
• Apply feedback, follow safety and quality procedures, and complete other related duties as assigned.

• Currently pursuing a bachelor’s or master’s degree, preferably in Electrical, Computer, Mechanical, or Aerospace Engineering or a related discipline.
• Hands-on exposure to a control system such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, device programming, robotics, SAE Baja, Formula SAE, laboratory work, or a comparable project.
• Basic engineering, programming, data-analysis, problem-solving, and Microsoft Office skills.
• Clear communication, attention to detail, self-confidence, curiosity, and a genuine interest in engineering and control systems.
• Interest in turbines, power generation, or energy technologies is preferred; prior industry experience is not required.
• Ability to work onsite, collaborate effectively, and follow company safety, quality, confidentiality, and information-protection requirements. Travel is not required.

• Gain hands-on experience in controls design, product definition, engineering documentation, and technical problem-solving.
• Apply classroom and project experience while learning from experienced power-generation engineers.
• Build knowledge of generating units, control systems, and energy applications.
• Develop within a collaborative culture committed to quality, growth, and employee appreciation.
