Internship in Dynamic Testing for Reliability of Power Semiconductors 80 - 100 % (f/m/d)

The opportunity

The energy landscape is changing fast, driven by the large adoption of renewables and new demands from transport and industry. Our research team explores how silicon carbide (SiC) power devices can meet new market requirements by addressing the open challenges in this emerging platform. In this role, you will help develop a test setup to study the reliability of SiC MOSFETs under real-world conditions. Join us in Baden-Dättwil and contribute to a dynamic, supportive environment where your ideas matter. This internship is aimed at students who are currently pursuing a master's degree in physics, electronics, materials science, or a related field and are enrolled at a university for the entire duration of the internship (minimum 6 months). Pease submit your full application in English.
