GE Vernova Engineering Intern - Datacenter Applications 2027
About The Position
As an Engineering Intern on the PCS team, you will be an active contributor to the development, testing, and validation of inverters, battery energy storage systems, and controls technologies that power next-generation AI datacenter infrastructure. The rapid growth of AI computing has created an unprecedented demand for reliable, high-density, and highly efficient power conversion systems. You will work directly on the products — including grid-scale inverters, energy storage systems, and advanced control platforms — that are at the center of meeting this demand. This internship sits at the intersection of power electronics engineering, controls systems, and one of the most dynamic technology sectors in the world. You will gain hands-on experience with real hardware and simulation tools in a professional engineering environment, collaborating with experienced engineers across design, test, and product development teams.
