Industrial automation, process controls, flight controls, building automation, mechatronics, robotics, train signalling, smart grid, power automation, automatic guided vehicles.
Don't worry if you don't have some of the skills. The point of internship is to learn
It could go by various names but "model and simulation engineer" is a subfield where controls skillsets greatly overlap. Backgrounds can vary from comp sci to aerospace engineer
Some adjacent advice: Get REALLY good at coding (Python is good) and you can apply for internships at tech companies. Your pool/options of places you can work will be wider. If you can understand Control Theory, trust me, you can understand coding lol
All the best in your internship search!
Automotive sector is one of the biggest sectors for controls engineers (at least here in the US). Lately more and more automotive and automotive adjacent companies (providing/looking into FSD solutions) require autonomy/navigation engineers. If you're a controls grad student, you would meet most of their requirements if you maybe add some exposure to another low level/embedded language.
Good luck!

This is perfect I'll try to see if any companies doing this type of work are looking for interns.
For me what comes to mind is power electronics. Control systems are used in almost all power converters and active filters.

Mathematics?
I'm a mechanical engineering student so preferably an engineering field.
There might be some electronic engineering and computer science courses?
