What is a semiconductor PhD internship?

Semiconductor PhD internships are temporary research or development positions offered by companies or research institutions in the semiconductor industry to PhD students. These internships typically provide hands-on experience in areas such as materials science, device fabrication, circuit design, or process engineering. Interns work alongside experienced professionals, contributing to real projects while expanding their technical skills and industry knowledge. These positions often serve as a valuable stepping stone for future careers in academia or industry, and can sometimes lead to full-time job offers after graduation.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a semiconductor PhD intern?

To thrive as a Semiconductor PhD Intern, you need a strong background in physics, electrical engineering, materials science, or a related field, ideally while pursuing or holding a PhD. Familiarity with semiconductor simulation tools (e.g., TCAD), lab equipment, and programming languages like Python or MATLAB is often required. Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and effective communication are standout soft skills in this position. These skills enable interns to contribute meaningfully to advanced research projects, facilitate innovation, and support collaboration with multidisciplinary teams.

What kind of projects can I expect to work on during a semiconductor PhD internship?

During a Semiconductor PhD Internship, you can expect to engage in cutting-edge research and development projects that align closely with your field of study, such as device fabrication, process optimization, or materials characterization. These projects are often designed to address real-world challenges faced by the company, giving you hands-on experience with industry-standard tools and methodologies. You'll typically collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, including senior engineers and fellow interns, which enhances your technical and communication skills. This experience not only enriches your academic research but also provides valuable insights into industrial applications, potentially opening doors to full-time roles after graduation.

What is the difference between Semiconductor Phd Internships vs Semiconductor Research Engineer?

AspectSemiconductor Phd InternshipsSemiconductor Research Engineer
Required CredentialsPhD or pursuing PhD in relevant fieldBachelor's, Master's, or PhD in engineering or physics
Work EnvironmentInternship programs in R&D labs or corporate settingsFull-time research roles in labs or industry
Employer & Industry UsageTech companies, research institutions, semiconductor firmsSemiconductor companies, R&D departments, industry research teams

Semiconductor Phd Internships are typically short-term, focused on gaining research experience during doctoral studies, while Semiconductor Research Engineers are full-time professionals conducting ongoing research. Internships often serve as a stepping stone into industry, whereas research engineer roles involve long-term project development and innovation.

Key responsibilities

  • Perform tasks related to developing HMIs/GUIs for operation and testing of power converters.

  • Design and test electrical components such as PCBs, embedded control algorithms, and electrical simulation models.

  • Develop test plans, conduct testing of magnetic components, analyze test data, and prepare reports and presentations.

Job description

RCT Systems, Power Systems Division, is seeking Electrical Engineering interns/co-ops to join our team for the summer and regular semester co-op. Note that we are no longer accepting applications for summer-only employment; however, we remain open to internships/co-ops that begin in the summer and continue through the fall.Please indicate your desired term of employment in your resume or cover letter.
Intern and entry-level applicants to RCT Systems Power Systems Division (PSD), without specific experience or education in power conversion and/or power systems, are encouraged to provide cover letters to their resume/CV that address the gap between their background and the core work that we perform here at RCT PSD (solid-state power conversion).
Electrical Engineering interns will perform in one or more of several different areas including:
  • Develop HMIs/GUIs for operation and testing of power converters.
  • Detailed PCB design including system control PCBs and support hardware.
  • Design and test embedded control algorithms for DSPs, FPGAs, and PLC controllers.
  • Develop Controller-Hardware-in-the-Loop (CHIL) test setups, control cards, and control algorithms using Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) real-time simulators.
  • Design and debug electrical simulation models used to derisk test setups.
  • Testing of magnetic components (inductors, transformers).
  • Develop test plans and procedures for systems nearing design completion.
  • Analyze collected test data and develop reports and presentations.

Minimum Requirements:
  • United States Citizenship is required due to US Government ITAR program restrictions.Must indicate citizenship status on individual documents submitted with the application (resume/CV or cover letter itself)- applications not identifying citizenship status on the submitted documents will *not* be considered.Note that even if you have an active security clearance, you must identify citizenship on your submitted application documents.
  • Minimum 3.3 GPA
  • 3rd year undergraduate minimum, MS and PhD students a plus
  • Applicants to the internship/co-op program, who are pursuing power electronics or power systems as an undergraduate focus area or graduate studies program are highly preferred/desired.

Desired Skillset:
  • Self-motivated individual; research experience a plus
  • Experience with electrical simulation software such PLECS, SPICE, PSIM, Simulink, or DSIM
  • Experience implementing communication interfaces (CAN, RS485, Modbus, I2C, high speed fiber, others)
  • Experience applying embedded software for motor drives, AC-DC, DC-DC, and DC-AC converters
  • Experience programming various microcontrollers, DSP, and/or FPGAs, such as TI C2000 or Xilinx
  • Hands-on experience with PLECS RT Boxes, Typhoon HIL Simulators, or other HIL platforms
  • Experience with PCB design software such as Altium or KiCAD
  • Experience with semiconductor technologies such as Silicon (Si), Silicon-Carbide (SiC), or Gallium-Nitride (GaN)
  • Experience working with 3-phase power systems

RCT Systems PSD produces high power density, wide bandgap semiconductor-based power converters for military and commercial applications.
