Software Developer Internship Jobs in Quebec (NOW HIRING)

Dana TM4 is a wholly owned subsidiary of Dana Incorporated. Dana TM4 develops and manufactures electric motors, generators, power electronics, and high- and low-voltage control systems for the commercial, passenger, sports, and recreational vehicle markets, as well as for the marine, rail, and mining sectors.

Dana TM4 contributes to achieving the highest possible energy conversion efficiencies through its expertise in permanent magnet motors, thermal management, winding technologies, external rotor topology, and control algorithms.

As a Mechanical Design Intern, you will join the Advanced Engineering team within the Engineering Department, which is responsible for the development of traction motors and high-voltage electronic products for electric vehicles.

You will contribute to the mission of the Advanced Engineering team, which is to mature new technologies and innovations that enable the motors and electronic products developed to stand out in the market.

The team supports the various technology roadmaps maintained by the product development and product planning groups, as well as representatives from the light vehicle, commercial vehicle, and off-highway business units. It is responsible for delivering technology evaluation and demonstration projects, mitigating technical risks, and sharing the results. In addition, the team promotes and supports technology transfer in partnership with product development teams.
