Enphase Energy is opening applications to our Summer Internship Program. This will run from mid-November to Mid-February at one of our west Christchurch locations.
Our mission at Enphase Energy is to advance a sustainable future for all.
Summer Internship - Programmable Solid-State Relay for Grid Transition Testing Project
A key selling point of our home energy systems is seamless grid transitions. Our microinverters need to be able to maintain household power while switching from on-grid to off-grid states, despite harsh transients that can occur on real-world electrical grids. For this project, you will develop a solid-state relay controller to better test our products’ grid transition capabilities across a range of voltages, phase angles, and other conditions. There may be flexibility in the direction of the project determined by business needs.
