Engineering Graduate Intern (Summer 2027)

Vertiv•Delaware, OH

10h

About The Position

Vertiv is seeking a highly motivated summer intern to support advanced research and technology development within its IT Systems Business Unit. The internship focuses on modeling, simulation, and analysis of power conversion, energy management, and digital infrastructure technologies, including applications such as power electronics, energy storage, control systems, thermal management, data center infrastructure, and IT Racks technologies. Working closely with research engineers and multidisciplinary teams, the intern will develop and maintain system-level and component-level models, evaluate system performance and operating behavior, validate models, and support technology feasibility assessments. Work may include dynamic simulation, system optimization, performance and design analysis, and data analysis. The internship emphasizes model development, simulation-based design, system analysis, and data-driven engineering methods to advance innovation and product development. Expected outcomes include high-fidelity and reduced-order simulation models, improved understanding of system performance and design trade-offs, identification of optimization opportunities and potential technology improvements, and simulation datasets and technical documentation. The intern may also contribute to technical publications, invention disclosures, and advanced engineering studies.
