Power Electronics Engineering Intern

About the role

Join Danfoss Turbocor in Tallahassee, Florida, the pioneer and global leader in oil-free centrifugal compressor technology. As a Power Electronics Engineering Intern, you will contribute to the development of next-generation power electronics and motor drive systems that help improve energy efficiency, reliability, and performance in critical cooling applications such as data centers, commercial HVAC, and industrial process cooling. You will work alongside experienced engineers developing advanced variable speed motor drives and magnetic bearing electronics for innovative compressor platforms. This is a hands-on opportunity to apply engineering theory to real-world products while gaining exposure to industry-leading technologies.

Responsibilities

• Support the design, testing, and validation of power electronic systems and components used in advanced compressor technologies.
• Perform laboratory testing and collect data using equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, and other electrical measurement tools to evaluate system performance.
• Build and modify prototypes by soldering components, assembling cables and harnesses, and creating electrical connection documentation.
• Conduct circuit simulations and analysis to help optimize electrical system performance and reliability.
• Document findings, prepare technical reports, and collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to advance new product development initiatives.

Requirements

• Currently pursuing or recently completed a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field.
• Knowledge of power electronics fundamentals, including motor drive technologies, IGBTs, MOSFETs, rectifiers, and PWM/PAM control concepts.
• Experience with electrical system modeling or circuit simulation tools such as PSCAD, PSpice, MATLAB, or similar platforms.
• Familiarity with electronic components including inductors, capacitors, resistors, and transformers, along with basic circuit analysis principles.
• Ability to work effectively in a team environment, communicate technical findings clearly, and demonstrate strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

Benefits

• Promotion from within and support for learning with mentoring, training, and access to global opportunities.
• Flexibility, autonomy, and support to maintain a healthy work-life balance.
• Inclusive work environment where people of all backgrounds are respected and valued.
• Annual bonus, paid vacation, pension plans, and personal insurance (varies by country and contract).
