Entry Level Engineering Internships Jobs in Rochester, NY

Entry-level Product Engineer supporting New Product Development (NPD) activities for SiC JFET / CJFET / MOSFET products. This role focuses on learning NPD processes, supporting engineering execution, and building foundational technical competence through close collaboration with senior engineers and cross-functional teams. The position is based in Bucheon, Korea within the BU NPD, PTE, PSG division and is classified as Job Grade 9 for candidates with 0-2 years of experience. This is an excellent opportunity for recent graduates or early-career professionals to develop expertise in power semiconductor product development while contributing to the successful launch of next-generation SiC power devices.

This role requires a combination of educational background and foundational technical knowledge appropriate for entry-level engineering professionals. Candidates should demonstrate academic preparation in semiconductor engineering disciplines along with a willingness to develop practical skills in product development environments.

Successful candidates will demonstrate the following core skills and competencies essential for entry-level product engineering:

• Basic data analysis skills using common office tools (Excel, PowerPoint)
• Strong willingness to learn, ask questions, and accept feedback
• Good verbal and written communication skills
• Ability to work effectively in a team-oriented, multicultural environment
• Organized work habits and attention to detail

These competencies enable new Product Engineers to contribute effectively to NPD projects while developing advanced technical capabilities through on-the-job learning and mentorship from experienced team members.

The following behavioral competencies are critical for success and professional development in this entry-level engineering role:

• Learning Mindset - actively seeks knowledge and skill development through formal training, mentorship, and hands-on project work
• Adaptability - responds positively to guidance and changing priorities in a dynamic product development environment
• Team Collaboration - works well with peers and senior engineers across functional boundaries to achieve project objectives
• Accountability - completes assigned tasks reliably and on time, taking ownership of work quality and meeting commitments
• Customer Awareness - understands the importance of quality and reliability in product development and how engineering decisions impact end customers and business outcomes

These behaviors form the foundation for career advancement and long-term success in semiconductor product engineering.

While not required, the following experience and tool familiarity will accelerate onboarding and effectiveness in the role:

• Experience using data or reporting tools such as Excel, JMP, or similar (academic or internship level)
• Exposure to project documentation tools or engineering databases
• Basic English communication skills (reading/writing); willingness to improve in a global environment

Candidates with exposure to these tools and capabilities through academic projects, internships, or personal development will be well-positioned to quickly contribute to NPD project activities and collaborate effectively in a global engineering organization.

The Product Engineer supports the successful execution of new product development projects by assisting with engineering activities under guidance from senior engineers and managers.

Key responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Support NPD projects by assisting senior Product Engineers and Managers to meet BU objectives
• Participate in NPD activities following defined processes, schedules, and engineering guidelines
• Assist in validation of electrical parameters through data analysis of electrical characterization results
• Support coordination with design, process, assembly, test, and reliability engineering teams
• Collect, organize, and analyze engineering data related to device performance, yield, and reliability
• Assist in preparation and maintenance of engineering documents such as Product datasheets, Test specifications, Engineering build requests, Reliability test allocations and reports
• Support issue tracking and resolution by working with cross-functional teams under supervision
• Maintain project documentation using Agile or other internal documentation systems
• Participate in project meetings, reviews, and training sessions to build technical and process knowledge
• Provide basic technical support for assigned products under guidance from senior engineers
