Control Engineer Intern information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Control Engineer Intern, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Control Engineer Intern, you need a solid understanding of control systems theory, programming basics (such as MATLAB or Python), and coursework in electrical or mechanical engineering. Familiarity with PLCs, SCADA systems, and simulation software is common, and some internships may look for coursework certifications or lab experience. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help interns collaborate on projects and troubleshoot system issues. These qualifications are essential for contributing to complex automation projects and ensuring reliable, efficient system performance.

What is the difference between Control Engineer Intern vs Control Engineer?

AspectControl Engineer InternControl Engineer
CredentialsTypically pursuing or recently completed a degree in electrical, mechanical, or control engineeringBachelor's or master's degree in engineering, with relevant certifications often preferred
Work EnvironmentInternship setting, often in manufacturing, automation, or industrial facilitiesFull-time professional role in similar environments with increased responsibilities
ResponsibilitiesAssisting with control system design, testing, and troubleshooting under supervisionDesigning, implementing, and maintaining control systems independently or as part of a team

The main difference between a Control Engineer Intern and a Control Engineer is experience level and responsibility. Interns are in learning roles, assisting with tasks under supervision, while Control Engineers are fully responsible for designing and managing control systems in professional settings.

What does a Control Engineer Intern do?

A Control Engineer Intern assists in designing, implementing, and testing control systems that help machines and processes operate efficiently and safely. They typically work under the supervision of experienced control engineers, supporting tasks such as programming PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), developing automation solutions, and troubleshooting control equipment. Interns may also help with data analysis, documentation, and collaboration with other engineering teams to optimize system performance. This role provides hands-on experience in industrial automation and control engineering.

What types of projects and responsibilities can a Control Engineer Intern expect to work on during their internship?

As a Control Engineer Intern, you can expect to assist in designing, testing, and troubleshooting control systems for automated equipment or processes. Interns commonly contribute to project tasks such as PLC programming, developing and simulating control algorithms, and supporting system integration under the guidance of senior engineers. You'll likely work closely with multidisciplinary teams, including mechanical, electrical, and software engineers, gaining exposure to real-world industrial automation challenges. This hands-on experience is valuable for building technical skills and understanding how control systems are implemented in practice.

Job description

MERL seeks a highly motivated intern for a summer internship focused on developing laboratory experiments for thermofluid systems based on vapor-compression cycles. The ideal candidate will have extensive hands-on experience building pumped fluid systems, working with high-pressure equipment, and specifying and integrating sensors such as thermocouples and pressure transducers with data acquisition systems. The intern will collaborate closely with MERL researchers to design, assemble, and validate experimental platforms, and this work is expected to lead to a submission to a top-tier conference. Start date and duration are flexible.

Required Specific Experience

  • Current enrollment in a PhD program in Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical Engineering or related programs (exceptional M.S. candidates considered)

  • Extensive hands-on experience in designing and connecting sensors to data acquisition systems, designing instrumentation interfaces, and implementing reliable data-collection workflows is required.
  • Proficiency in Linux and C/C++ for data logging and visualization tools is essential; Python experience is a plus.

The pay range for this internship position will be 6-8K per month.

Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs, Inc. "MERL" provides equal employment opportunities (EEO) to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability or genetics. In addition to federal law requirements, MERL complies with applicable state and local laws governing nondiscrimination in employment in every location in which the company has facilities. This policy applies to all terms and conditions of employment, including recruiting, hiring, placement, promotion, termination, layoff, recall, transfer, leaves of absence, compensation and training.

MERL expressly prohibits any form of workplace harassment based on race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, age, genetic information, disability, or veteran status. Improper interference with the ability of MERLs employees to perform their job duties may result in discipline up to and including discharge.

Working at MERL requires full authorization to work in the U.S and access to technology, software and other information that is subject to governmental access control restrictions, due to export controls. Employment is conditioned on continued full authorization to work in the U.S and the availability of government authorization for the release of these items, which might include without limitation, obtaining an export license or other documentation. MERL may delay commencement of employment, rescind an offer of employment, terminate employment, and/or modify job responsibilities, compensation, benefits, and/or access to MERL facilities and information systems, as MERL deems appropriate, to ensure practical compliance with applicable employment law and government access control restrictions.

In addition to base pay, interns receive a relocation stipend, covered travel to and from MERL, and a monthly Charlie Card for local commuting. Interns are invited to participate in weekly social gatherings and professional development opportunities, including research talks by both internal and external speakers. Interns who meet the 90-day waiting period are also eligible for health insurance coverage. MERL provides immigration support for qualified candidates as needed. Employment is considered at-will, and the Company reserves the right to modify base salary or any other compensation program at any time, including for reasons related to individual performance, departmental or Company performance, and market conditions.
