Electrical Engineering Internships​/Co-ops

RCT Systems, Power Systems Division, is seeking Electrical Engineering interns to join our team for the summer and/or regular semester co‑op. Engineering interns will perform in one or more of several different areas including:

• Develop HMIs/GUIs for operation and testing of power converters.
• Detailed PCB design including system control PCBs and support hardware.
• Design and test embedded control algorithms for DSPs, FPGAs, and PLC controllers.
• Develop Controller‑Hardware‑in‑the‑Loop (CHIL) test setups, control cards, and control algorithms using Hardware‑in‑the‑Loop (HIL) real‑time simulators.
• Design and debug electrical simulation models used to derisk test setups.
• Testing of magnetic components (inductors, transformers).
• Develop test plans and procedures for systems nearing design completion.
• Analyze collected test data and develop reports and presentations.

• United States citizenship required due to US Government ITAR program restrictions.
• Minimum 3.3 GPA.
• 3rd year undergraduate minimum; MS and PhD students a plus.

• Self‑motivated individual; research experience a plus.
• Experience with electrical simulation software such as PLECS, SPICE, PSIM, Simulink, or DSIM.
• Experience implementing communication interfaces (CAN, RS485, Modbus, I2C, high‑speed fiber, others).
• Experience applying embedded software for motor drives, AC‑DC, DC‑DC, and DC‑AC converters.
• Experience programming various microcontrollers, DSP, and/or FPGAs, such as TI C2000 or Xilinx.
• Hands‑on experience with PLECS RT Boxes, Typhoon HIL Simulators, or other HIL platforms.
• Experience with PCB design software such as Altium or KiCAD.
• Experience with semiconductor technologies such as Silicon (Si), Silicon‑Carbide (SiC), or Gallium‑Nitride (GaN).

RCT offers a competitive benefits package that includes:

• Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage.
• Generous PTO and Sick Time.
• Life Insurance.
• Flexible schedules available.

RCT Systems PSD produces high‑power density, wide‑bandgap semiconductor‑based power converters for military and commercial applications. We offer a fast‑paced R&D work environment with a design, build, and high‑voltage test site in Baltimore, MD. The internship/co‑op is in‑person only.
