Job Summary
Vertiv is seeking a Electrical Engineering Intern to support the IT Solutions engineering team in the design, testing, and validation of power distribution and electrical systems for rack- and row-based infrastructure products supporting high-density compute and AI-driven data center applications.
In this role, you will gain hands-on experience with architecture, system integration, and industry compliance standards while supporting senior engineers through the new product development lifecycle. You will work in a fast-paced, growing business unit building next-generation data center infrastructure.
Why This Role is Exciting
· Direct exposure to next-generation data center and AI infrastructure solutions
· Hands-on experience in a lab environment — building, testing, and validating real hardware
· Work alongside experienced engineers across electrical, mechanical, thermal, and controls disciplines
· Meaningful project ownership — not just observation
· Opportunity to learn electrical design standards, compliance, and system-level thinking at Vertiv
Key Responsibilities
1.Design Support & Testing
· Assist with electrical design reviews and provide feedback on power distribution systems
· Support component selection, evaluation, and specification activities
· Build and validate prototypes in the engineering lab
· Perform electrical testing and document test results with clear, thorough reporting
2.Documentation & Analysis
· Assist with the development and maintenance of electrical schematics and drawings
· Support power distribution and load calculations
· Help document engineering study results, DVT summaries, and design feedback
· Maintain organized test data, lab records, and engineering files
3.Cross-Functional Collaboration
· Work alongside senior electrical, mechanical, and thermal engineers on integrated system designs
· Participate in cross-functional design reviews and team meetings
· Support manufacturing and production teams during factory integration and testing activities
4.Learning & Development
· Gain exposure to industry compliance standards (NEC, UL/IEC 62368-1, IEC 60364, IEC 61000)
· Learn system-level electrical architecture for rack- and row-based infrastructure
· Develop problem-solving skills through real-world engineering challenges
· Present project results and findings at internship showcase events
Qualifications
Required
· Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) or related field
· Completed at least sophomore year of coursework
· Foundational understanding of electrical circuits, power systems, and electronics
· Strong problem-solving and analytical skills
· Ability to work hands-on in a lab environment
· Effective communication skills — written and verbal
· Self-motivated with the ability to take initiative and ask questions
Preferred
· Interest in power systems, power electronics, or power distribution design
· Coursework or projects in power engineering, controls, or embedded systems
· Familiarity with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, power analyzers)
· Exposure to electrical CAD tools (AutoCAD, Creo, or similar)
· Previous co-op, internship, or project experience in a hardware engineering environment
What We’re Looking For
· A curious, hands-on learner eager to work in a multidisciplinary engineering environment
· Someone who takes ownership of their work and delivers results
· A team player who communicates clearly and collaborates well with experienced engineers
· A self-starter who isn't afraid to ask questions and dig into complex problems
