Application Engineer Intern

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.
• 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.
