Power Electronics Intern (Fall 2025 / Winter 2026)

Louisville, CO
Internship
Student (College)
Job Purpose:
At H3X, we are building the most advanced electric motors in the world for sustainable aviation, marine, industrial, and defense applications. At 12 kW/kg continuous, the HPDM family of integrated motor drives is a step change in electric propulsion technology and removes one of the main barriers blocking widespread proliferation of electric and hybrid aircraft. Our motors range in size from 30 kW to 30 MW and are 3X lighter than competitors’ systems.  

As a Power Electronics Intern at H3X Technologies, you will contribute to the design, testing, and validation of breakthrough power electronic systems for next-generation electric propulsion. You will work alongside experienced engineers, gaining hands-on experience with high-voltage systems and the manufacturing processes that take ideas from concept to production.
Key Responsibilities
  • Assist in the design, simulation, and testing of power electronic hardware
  • Support the development and validation of PCB assemblies and wire harnesses, collaborating with engineering and manufacturing teams to implement new processes
  • Conduct simulations and performance analyses using industry-standard tools (MATLAB, LTspice, Simulink) to validate system performance and identify optimization opportunities
  • Participate in troubleshooting and root cause analysis for hardware issues, assisting in implementing corrective actions and documenting outcomes
  • Assist with test setup, measurement, and evaluation of prototypes and production units, including high-voltage system operation under lab safety guidelines
  • Contribute to technical documentation, including test reports and manufacturing instructions for PCB and wire harness assemblies
  • Stay updated on latest trends and advancements in power electronics




Required Qualifications
  • Working toward a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field
  • Strong electronics fundamentals and project-based electronics experiences

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability
Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability Form CC-305
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026
Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
