SolarEdge is one of the few Israeli companies where Power Electronics is the dominant engineering discipline — solar inverters, battery storage, EV charging, AI-based energy management. Power-electronics specialty is unusual in Israeli hiring, and the candidate pool is structurally narrow: most EE programs default to digital / signal-processing tracks, leaving SolarEdge under-supplied with EE-Power students.

Power Electronics Student Engineer (Herzliya)

Part-time student role inside SolarEdge's Power Electronics R&D group — work on the inverter platforms, battery management systems, and the analog-mixed-signal components behind them. Glassdoor's 2026 listings include adjacent senior power-electronics engineering roles, signaling steady investment in this specialty.

Eligibility: EE / EE-Power / EE-Energy students with hands-on coursework in switching power supplies, magnetics, motor drives, or grid-tie inverters. MATLAB / Simulink / PLECS familiarity is a real tiebreaker — these are SolarEdge's modeling tools.
Schedule: Part-time during semester · full-time on summer · Herzliya or Hod Hasharon site.

Who they hire

SolarEdge's intake skews EE-Power, which is structurally narrow in the Israeli candidate pool. The Technion EE-Power track and Ben-Gurion EE-Energy track are the dominant feeders; Tel Aviv University EE and Bar-Ilan EE round it out. Most candidates have undergraduate or graduate-level coursework in switching power supplies, magnetic components, or motor drives — generic 'EE' framing without one of these depth signals filters slowly. The Herzliya HQ + Hod Hasharon offices serve commute belts that overlap with Tel Aviv tech, which means EE-Power students who would otherwise be at NVIDIA Yokneam or Mellanox-legacy teams have a real local option here. English is the working language for cross-region collaboration with US / EU operations.

The process

Pipeline runs through Greenhouse. After CV screen — typically 14–21 days for student tracks, slower than commercial SaaS because the EE-Power-specific reviewers are a smaller group — successful candidates hit a domain technical interview (switching topology + magnetics + control loop questions calibrated to student level). A second round walks through your most recent power-electronics project + a MATLAB/Simulink modeling discussion. Manager fit closes the loop. Total time from CV to offer is 4–6 weeks. The Herzliya commute is non-trivial from south Tel Aviv but easy from Ra'anana / Herzliya residential — addressing this realistically up front avoids a soft rejection.

SolarEdge CV — what to include

Lead with one switching-power-supply or grid-tie-inverter project — academic, hobby, or competition-level. The EE-Power specificity is what unlocks the screen.
List MATLAB / Simulink / PLECS / LTspice with a project that used each. Power-electronics-specific simulation tooling is the giveaway that you're real, not generic-EE.
If you've worked with WBG (wide-bandgap) semiconductors — SiC, GaN — say so. SolarEdge's newer designs lean WBG and the candidate pool is shallow.
Mention any photovoltaic / battery-management system project. The product surface is solar + storage; relevance reads concrete.
Address the Herzliya / Hod Hasharon commute realistically. Local candidates have a structural advantage; Tel-Aviv-based candidates should explicitly note willingness to relocate or commute.
Cite EE-Power coursework explicitly: switching power supplies, magnetics, motor drives, electric machines, control of power electronics. Generic 'EE' coursework framing reads as ambiguous.

Common mistakes that get you filtered

Generic EE framing without power-electronics specificity. The Greenhouse parser ranks specific power-electronics CVs significantly higher.
Listing a digital-only stack (FPGAs, SoCs, embedded software) without an analog or magnetics piece. SolarEdge's product surface is mixed-signal; pure-digital reads as off-fit.
Hebrew-only CV. SolarEdge is global; English-first or bilingual CV is the norm.
Generic 'sustainability interest' in cover letter. Specific is better — 'I worked on a 5kW grid-tie inverter prototype as my BSc capstone' beats 'I care about clean energy'.
Missing the EE-Power-specific tooling stack. CVs without MATLAB/Simulink/PLECS/LTspice exposure read as if you've never simulated a power converter.

Insights that aren't on the company's careers page

SolarEdge is one of the few large Israeli employers where Power Electronics is the dominant engineering discipline — the field is structurally under-supplied because most Israeli EE programs default to digital / signal-processing / VLSI tracks, leaving WB-Power graduates with limited large-employer options. SolarEdge fills this gap.
Wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductor design — SiC and GaN power devices — is concentrated in newer SolarEdge platforms. Junior candidates with even hobby-level WBG exposure (EVAL boards, application-note designs) have a genuine asymmetric advantage because the candidate pool is shallow.
The Herzliya HQ at 1 HaMada Street is part of the same Tel Aviv–Herzliya commercial cluster as Microsoft Israel, Apple Israel, and several SaaS unicorns — but the EE-Power specialty means the candidate pool overlaps less than location would suggest, which structurally reduces internal competition for SolarEdge offers.
Greenhouse ATS with a senior-level posting visible into 2026 (open until June 2026) signals steady demand for Power Electronics talent across senior + early-career levels — students who join the pipeline early tend to convert at higher rates because the specialty is genuinely supply-constrained.
SolarEdge's product surface — solar inverters + battery storage + EV charging + AI-based energy management — means juniors get cross-domain exposure in a way that pure-vertical pharma or pure-vertical defense don't offer. The work is mixed-signal hardware + embedded firmware + cloud + ML — rare combination.
SolarEdge has 34 country-level offices but the Israeli Herzliya / Hod Hasharon hub is the engineering core. International transfers are real but rare for student-track candidates; the structural pathway is local first, international post-mid-career.
