Job DetailsJob Location: Torrance, CA 90503Position Type: InternshipSalary Range: $25.00 - $40.00 HourlyJob Purpose: Navitas Semiconductor (Nasdaq: NVTS) is a next-generation power semiconductor leader driving innovation in gallium nitride (GaN) and high-voltage silicon carbide (SiC) technologies. Our products enable faster, more efficient power delivery across AI data centers, high-performance computing, energy and grid infrastructure, and industrial electrification. With more than 30 years of combined expertise in wide bandgap technologies, GaNFast™ power ICs integrate GaN power, drive, control, sensing, and protection, delivering faster power delivery, higher system density, and greater efficiency. GeneSiC™ high-voltage SiC devices leverage patented trench-assisted planar technology to provide industry-leading voltage capability, efficiency, and reliability for medium-voltage grid and infrastructure applications.  We are seeking an Applications Engineering Intern to join our fast-growing, collaborative team. The ideal candidate is self-motivated, energetic, and eager to gain hands-on experience in a high-growth, innovative environment, contributing directly to technologies that are shaping the future of power electronics.  Navitas Semiconductor is seeking a highly motivated and experienced analog / power IC Design Engineer to lead the architecture, design, and silicon execution of next-generation power management ICs. This role is hands-on and technical, with end-to-end ownership from concept through production, and close collaboration with systems, devices, layout, and validation teams. This is a key technical expert position for engineers who have successfully brought power ICs into high-volume production and want to shape future architectures. Key Responsibilities and Duties: Perform high-voltage semiconductor testing and characterization of SiC MOSFET devices, including double pulse testing (DPT) and basic switching measurements. Support schematic review and PCB layout tasks for evaluation boards and test hardware, with attention to isolation, creepage/clearance, and measurement accuracy. Build, bring up, and validate EVAL boards for internal testing and customer demonstrations. Run device-level and system-level simulations using tools such as PLECS and SIMetrix. Perform hands-on lab work using oscilloscopes, current/voltage probes, power analyzers, and electronic loads. Contribute to application notes, test reports, and internal documentation. Support the applications team with data collection, analysis, and presentation of test results. Collaborate with R&D, product marketing, and operations teams on ongoing customer programs and product development activities. Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, and Other Characteristics (KSAO’s) Currently pursuing a Master’s or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
