Here Is What Our Interns Say

Why Yaskawa

"Yaskawa exceeded my expectations in all aspects. Aside from learning a great deal of power electronics and getting to see real-life applications of what I learned during four years of school, I got the opportunity to work in a place where everyone wants to help you. Not only were my coworkers smart and knowledgeable, they were kind, fun to work with, and extremely helpful."

Carlos Suberviola

2023 Electrical Engineer Co-Op

"From my first day at Yaskawa, I was excited to start learning what my career choice would be like in the real world. On that first day, the MV team pulled me right into the action. From the beginning, I felt part of the group. I wasn’t just an intern expected to do busy work. Sure, there was tedious training to learn Yaskawa’s systems and procedures, but I was applying my skills as an engineer."

Christopher Michalek

2015 & 2016 Intern - Currently: Supervisor, Mechanical Engineering MV

"I spent about eight months in the MV department learning what a Medium Voltage drive was and helping to design and draw different mechanical components. It was a great introduction into seeing how different segments of engineering (electrical and mechanical in this case) have to work together with a common goal in mind. I continued in the MV group with another internship and accepted a full time role as a mechanical engineer coming out of college."
