Bosch Corporate Research is looking for a Hardware Prototyping Intern to support the next phase of a project focused on advanced data center rack systems. The intern will help translate a data center rack concept into an early-stage hardware prototype using Bosch components, lab infrastructure, and practical systems-integration methods.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on engineering student who can work across electrical, mechanical, thermal, controls, and systems interfaces. The intern will collaborate with Bosch researchers and engineers to assemble, instrument, troubleshoot, and document a prototype subsystem or rack-level demonstrator.

The duration of the internship is 4 months, with a target start date of August 10, 2026.

What you will do

• Review the existing system architecture, requirements, and component recommendations from the previous project phase.
• Develop a practical build plan for assembling selected Bosch hardware components into an early-stage prototype or subsystem demonstrator.
• Support integration of power electronics, DC distribution, sensors, controllers, telemetry interfaces, and supporting lab equipment.
• Assist with mechanical layout, mounting, packaging, thermal/fluidic interfaces, wiring, and test-harness development.
• Instrument the prototype to collect electrical, thermal, fluidic, and control data.
• Execute basic checkout procedures, troubleshoot integration issues, and document defects, risks, and recommended design changes.
• Maintain clear prototype documentation, including bill of materials, wiring/interface diagrams, assembly notes, and test procedures.

Expected deliverables (4 months)

• Early-stage prototype, subsystem demonstrator, or hardware-in-the-loop test setup using selected Bosch hardware components.
• Prototype build documentation, including bill of materials, interface diagrams, assembly notes, and lab setup instructions.
• Initial checkout and test results for key electrical, thermal, control, and telemetry functions.
• Gap and issue log identifying integration risks and recommended next steps.

Final technical presentation summarizing prototype status, lessons learned, and recommendations.

Required qualifications

• Currently pursuing an MS or PhD in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, mechatronics, systems engineering, controls engineering, or a related field.
• Minimum GPA of 3.0
• Hands-on lab experience building, integrating, or testing engineering hardware.
• Coursework or experience in two or more of: power electronics, DC distribution, embedded systems, controls, telemetry, thermal/fluid systems, mechanical prototyping, instrumentation, or data acquisition.
• Ability to read technical documentation such as schematics, wiring diagrams, mechanical drawings, or system requirements.
• Strong troubleshooting, structured problem-solving, and technical communication skills.

Preferred qualifications

• Experience integrating multidisciplinary hardware systems.
• Exposure to data center infrastructure, rack-level power distribution, liquid cooling, or high-power systems.
• Experience with Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW, CAD, microcontrollers, PLCs, or test automation.
• Familiarity with lab safety practices for electrical, mechanical, or fluidic systems.
