The opportunity

The HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) market is experiencing substantial growth and has become integral to many transmission networks. This technology facilitates the connection of remote electrical power sources, including emissions-free renewable sources such as hydroelectric or wind generation, to load centers that are hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away from the power source. This project aims to model the reliability and availability of HVDC systems and their components for optimized asset performance management.

The Semiconductor Packaging and Reliability Engineering research team at the Central European Hitachi Energy Research Center is looking for an intern with reliability engineering experience to contribute to our reliability models initiatives. The intern will interact with a dynamic and multidisciplinary team that will supervise and guide the project.

If you possess a strong technical background, love diving into new challenges, and are looking for an exciting internship, join us to help build a more reliable and sustainable energy future.

Internship duration: 6-12 months

Starting: Aug/Sep 2025

Location: Baden-Dättwil, Aargau, Switzerland
