Job Description
Bosch Research is looking for a Requirements Engineering Intern for Data Center Racks. The duration of the internship is 3 months with a target start date of May 18, 2026.
What you will do:
- Requirements collection and consolidation: Understand and reconcile published requirements from various sources with stakeholder interviews across electrical, thermal, mechanical, controls, safety, and sustainability domains; capture business, regulatory, and operator needs for 250–1,000 kW rack configurations.
- System requirements and architecture: Draft clear, testable system and subsystem requirements for power conversion (800 VDC→48 V→1 V), point‑of‑load rails, direct liquid cooling/CDU, energy buffering, and unified rack controls/telemetry.
- Standards and compliance mapping: Build compliance and gap analyses against relevant standards and guidance (e.g., OCP, ASHRAE liquid cooling classes, UL/IEC IT and power equipment, EMC/harmonics, NFPA electrical safety) and regional codes.
- Risk and reliability: Contribute to preliminary hazard analysis and FMEA for thermal, electrical, and fluid systems; align requirements with target KPIs for efficiency, leak rates, arc‑flash mitigation, fault isolation, and serviceability.
Expected deliverables (3 months):
- Baseline system requirement specification for an integrated 1 MW rack architecture with clear acceptance criteria
- Standards compliance matrix and prioritized gap/risks list
Qualifications
Required qualifications
- Currently pursuing a MS or PhD in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, systems engineering, industrial engineering, or a related field
- Minimum GPA of 3.0
- Coursework or experience in two or more of: power electronics or DC power distribution; thermal/fluid systems and liquid cooling; embedded/controls/telemetry; reliability/safety engineering
- Hands‑on experience with requirements engineering and systems thinking; ability to write clear, testable requirements and acceptance criteria
- Strong technical communication skills, structured problem solving, and ability to work across disciplines under fast timelines
Preferred qualifications
- Exposure to data center infrastructures, liquid cooling, or high‑power conversion
- Knowledge of relevant standards and practices and sustainability metrics
- Experience with risk and reliability methods
- Familiarity with telemetry and controls interfaces and data analysis scripting
- Practical lab or hardware integration experience; comfort reviewing schematics, P&IDs, and layout drawings
Additional Information
Equal Opportunity Employer, including disability / veterans.
The U.S. base salary range for this intern position is $38.00/hr - $55.00/hr. Within the range, individual pay is determined based on several factors, including, but not limited to, type of degree, work experience and job knowledge, complexity of the role, type of position, job location, etc. Your Hiring Manager can share more details about the specific salary range for this position during the interview process.

Get Access To All JobsData Center Design CPT: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a data center design internship automatically qualify for CPT?
Not automatically. CPT requires the work to be an integral part of your established curriculum, not just related to your field. Your academic program must have a mechanism, a for-credit course, a required practicum, or a documented co-op requirement, that connects directly to the data center design role. Your DSO determines eligibility based on your specific degree program requirements, not the job title alone.
Can I do CPT for a data center design role at a company that also wants to sponsor my H-1B later?
Yes, CPT doesn't affect your H-1B visa eligibility or your OPT availability, as long as you haven't used 12 or more months of full-time CPT. If you cross that threshold, you lose your OPT eligibility. Employers who are serious about a long-term H-1B path will typically factor your CPT period into their hiring timeline, so discuss post-CPT plans with the engineering team early.
What engineering disciplines typically qualify for data center design CPT?
Electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, computer engineering, and systems engineering programs are the most common qualifying disciplines, since data center design work involves power distribution, HVAC and cooling systems, structured cabling, and network infrastructure. Civil engineering students focusing on facilities design may also qualify depending on the specific project scope and how their DSO documents the curriculum connection.
How do I find data center design employers who are familiar with CPT hiring?
Migrate Mate lets you search for employers with a history of sponsoring F-1 workers in technical design and infrastructure roles, so you can focus your applications on companies that have already worked with international students rather than those encountering CPT paperwork for the first time. Data center operators, colocation providers, and MEP engineering firms are the most common employers in this space.
Does part-time CPT in a data center design role count toward the 12-month full-time limit?
Part-time CPT, defined as fewer than 20 hours per week, does not count toward the 12-month full-time CPT limit regardless of how many semesters you use it. Only full-time CPT, which is 20 or more hours per week, accumulates against that threshold. If you're planning multiple CPT semesters across a multi-year infrastructure project, structuring your hours as part-time preserves your OPT eligibility for after graduation.
