DAANAA
Hardward Electronics Engineer Intern
About Us:
Daanaa is a Vancouver-based fabless power electronics and semiconductor company on a mission to revolutionize power electronics in applications operating at and below 1,500 Volts (1.5 kV). The Company is in early commercialization stages of deep tech power conversion and control technologies, offering innovative solutions to OEMs in multiple industries, including solar energy, electric vehicles, and data centers.
Daanaa's value is derived from its transformative Power Transaction Unit (PTU) that consolidates power electronic functions—from bi-directional conversion and amplification to management, transfer, diagnostics, and control—onto a single, high-power-density, high-efficiency, low-profile, scalable, reliable, and safe module. At Daanaa, we are building a world of Energy Untethered™
We are looking for a motivated and detail-oriented Hardware Electronics Intern to support our electrical engineering team while gaining exposure to the tools, systems, and development processes used to build advanced power electronics technology.
