About the role#
We are looking for a student to lead hands-on projects that implement AI best practices within our organization. You will focus on two primary initiatives: building an AI-driven magnetics design tool and automating firmware modification and calibration processes. This role offers the chance to apply machine learning and automation to real engineering challenges while working alongside our technical teams.
What you'll do#
- Lead end-to-end projects to implement AI best practices.
- Develop an AI-enabled magnetics design automation capability using machine learning models trained on historical designs, simulation outputs, and performance data.
- Deliver rapid magnetics design recommendations to reduce engineering iteration cycles.
- Build automation workflows to update firmware configuration values and calibration gains from defined specifications.
- Reduce manual editing of hard-coded parameters in C source files and related configuration artifacts.
- Translate product requirements into reliable firmware change rules in collaboration with engineers.
- Support validation of firmware changes through test cases, build checks, and result reviews.
- Document automation processes, tool usage, and datasheet standards for team adoption.
- Create prototypes, process maps, or proof-of-concept demonstrations.
- Implement AI agents and productivity tools to improve efficiency.
- Present project outcomes, impact, and recommendations to business and technical leaders.
What you'll need#
- Currently pursuing a bachelor's or master's degree in Engineering, Data Science, Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field.
- Coursework, projects, or internship experience with artificial intelligence, machine learning, automation, or data analytics.
- Prior experience using AI productivity tools such as Copilot or ChatGPT.
- Experience with C programming for embedded or firmware applications.
- Familiarity with TI IDE tools and TI chipsets.
- Experience with firmware configuration, calibration, or parameter tuning.
- Familiarity with Microsoft 365 tools.
- Ability to translate business needs into working AI solutions.
- Strong organizational, project management, problem-solving, and analytical skills.
- Effective written and verbal communication skills.
- Prior experience in magnetics or power electronics design is preferred.
Location & details#
- This is a full-time, paid, on-site internship.
- You must be able to commute to both our Orange and Irvine offices in California.
- Sponsorship is not available for this role.
