Job Purpose
Navitas Semiconductor (Nasdaq: NVTS) is a next-generation power semiconductor leader driving innovation in gallium nitride (GaN) and high-voltage silicon carbide (SiC) technologies. Our products enable faster, more efficient power delivery across AI data centers, high-performance computing, energy and grid infrastructure, and industrial electrification. With more than 30 years of combined expertise in wide bandgap technologies, GaNFast™ power ICs integrate GaN power, drive, control, sensing, and protection, delivering faster power delivery, higher system density, and greater efficiency.
GeneSiC™ high-voltage SiC devices leverage patented trench-assisted planar technology to provide industry-leading voltage capability, efficiency, and reliability for medium-voltage grid and infrastructure applications.
We are seeking a Applications Engineering Intern to join our fast-growing, collaborative team. The ideal candidate is self‑motivated, energetic, and eager to gain hands‑on experience in a high‑growth, innovative environment, contributing directly to technologies that are shaping the future of power electronics.
Key Responsibilities And Duties- Perform high‑voltage semiconductor testing and characterization of SiC MOSFET devices, including double pulse testing (DPT) and basic switching measurements.
- Support schematic review and PCB layout tasks for evaluation boards and test hardware, with attention to isolation, creepage/clearance, and measurement accuracy.
- Build, bring up, and validate EVAL boards for internal testing and customer demonstrations.
- Run device‑level and system‑level simulations using tools such as PLECS and SIMetrix.
- Perform hands‑on lab work using oscilloscopes, current/voltage probes, power analyzers, and electronic loads.
- Contribute to application notes, test reports, and internal documentation.
- Support the applications team with data collection, analysis, and presentation of test results.
- Collaborate with R&D, product marketing, and operations teams on ongoing customer programs and product development activities.
- Currently pursuing a Master’s or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
- Coursework or project experience in power electronics, semiconductor devices, or analog/mixed‑signal circuits.
- Basic understanding of MOSFETs, gate drivers, and switching converter concepts.
- Familiarity with lab instruments (oscilloscopes, multimeters, function generators).
- Exposure to simulation tools such as PLECS, SIMetrix, or LTspice is a plus.
- Exposure to schematic capture or PCB layout tools (e.g., Altium, KiCad, OrCAD) is a plus.
- Familiarity with power topologies (PFC, LLC, DAB, DC‑DC converters) is a plus.
- Willingness to learn high‑voltage testing practices and safety procedures.
- Strong curiosity, attention to detail, and good communication skills.
Basic
- Currently enrolled in a Master’s or PhD program in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
- Coursework or research in power electronics, semiconductor devices, or related areas.
- Prior lab or research experience in high‑voltage power electronics or semiconductor characterization.
- Familiarity with power electronics topologies used in server and AI data center power systems.
