Position Summary:

This position is for an electromechanical engineering intern for summer internship project. This summer intern project focuses on the end-to-end design and prototyping of a hardware-based fault injection system for Electric Vehicle (EV) DC Fast Chargers. The scope includes defining a strategic framework to stress-test critical components—including the charge controller and high-power contactors—and developing a custom, enclosure to house the control interface. By simulating subsystem failures and extreme thermal conditions, this system provides a controlled, repeatable environment for the engineering team to validate 'fail-safe' software responses and build a robust diagnostic database of system error codes

Position Responsibilities:

Gain knowledge of EV charger components and functions

Identify points in the system to fault

Design, develop, and document (using 3D CAD software) hardware design for the fault injection system

Fabricate and assemble prototype of the system

Bench test to verify the system works before integrating it with the charger

Integrate the system with the EV charger

Perform fault tests and collect data on the outcomes

Document to a fault-to-error mapping database

Qualification Requirements:

Hands-on basics: Experience using hand and power tools, and prototyping electrical-mechanical assemblies.

Mechanical Design: Strong spatial intuition for component layout within enclosures; proficiency in SolidWorks is preferred

Analytical Testing: Ability to develop ""what-if"" test cases and logically identify critical system failure points

Technical Documentation: Skilled in maintaining precise test logs that correlate specific fault actions with their corresponding system outputs.

Essential Functions:

Customer-centric mindset.

Technology leadership mindset.

Ability to work both individually and in a team.

Ability to work with limited direction to attain project goals according to set timelines.
