The opportunity

The R&D team Semiconductor Packaging and Reliability Engineering at our Swiss Power Grids Research Center is looking for an intern student with expertise in electrical engineering, physics, materials and analytical methods to contribute to the development of novel semiconductor power modules for e-mobility and grid applications. The intern will interact with a dynamic and multidisciplinary team that will supervise and guide the project. If you have a strong technical background, motivation to develop innovative solutions, and you are goal-oriented, this is your opportunity to contribute in building a stronger and more sustainable energy future. The duration of the internship is six months.

How you'll make an impact

• Support technology development and research activities in the development of semiconductor power modules, i.e. process development and prototype manufacturing in a state-of-the-art cleanroom

• Perform accelerated lifetime testing, characterize modules before and after aging, supervise the test setup

• Perform first steps of the root cause analysis (X-ray, SAM, cross section etc.) and concisely document the test results

• Perform electromagnetic and thermal infinite element simulations to validate design features

• Create CAD designs of power modules in close collaboration with the team, find creative and efficient solutions to meet demanding and sometimes conflicting requirements

Your background

• Currently pursuing a M.Sc. degree in material science, electrical engineering, physics, chemistry or similar discipline (advanced B.Sc. or M.Sc. degree); official enrollment essential

• Experience in laboratory work, CAD and know-how in experimental methods using a wide range of advanced materials characterization techniques

• Solid programming skills (e.g. LabVIEW, Python, Matlab etc.)

• Experience with finite element modeling advantageous (ANSYS Q3D, COMSOL)

• Know-how in data analysis tools and statistics is advantageous

• Enthusiastic, self-motivated mindset and ability to work independently

• Highly conscientious individual with keen sense of responsibility

• Fluency in written and spoken English (any other language skills are a benefit) and good communication and technical writing skills

• Motivated and eager to learn more and become part of a multidisciplinary research team focused on innovation
