R&D Internship in Semiconductor Power Module 80 - 100% (f/m/d) Nouveau
The opportunity
In our Semiconductors business unit in Lenzburg, we develop and produce high-performance state of the art semiconductors power module for applications in different fields like rail transportation, power transmission, renewable energy, eMobility and more. The duration of the internship is 5 - 10 months.
How you’ll make an impact
- Develop new packaging technologies for power electronics (PE) modules to enable higher current capability, sustain higher temperatures and stresses under harsh environmental conditions
- Support the build-up and characterization of prototypes of IGBT modules for quality assessment using several techniques such as scanning acoustic microscopy, cross-sections, electrical and reliability testing
- Conduct design of experiments (DoEs) to support technology development through process and materials optimization
- Interact and collaborate with a dynamic and multidisciplinary team that will supervise and guide the project
- Use your strong technical background, motivation to develop innovative solutions, and goal-oriented approach to make a significant impact on the project
- Contribute in building a stronger and more sustainable energy future
Your background
- Currently pursuing a degree in material sciences, mechanical engineering, chemistry, physics, or similar discipline (B.Sc. or M.Sc. degree internship and/or thesis)
- Experience in laboratory work and know-how in sample preparation and material characterization techniques
- Know-how in data analysis tools and statistics is advantageous
- Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to think creatively and independently to resolve technical challenges
- Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, to effectively document the design and present results to the team
- Fluent in English, German is a plus
- A self-starter with a strong work ethic and the ability to work independently or as part of a team
- Willingness to learn new concepts and technologies related to semiconductor packaging
