Electrical Engineering Intern, 2027

Allen Control Systems · Austin, TX · 4 days ago
On-siteEngineering$200/hrFull-time

About the Role

Our interns aren't fetching coffee or shadowing — they're working alongside the same engineers building the systems we ship. This is early-career work with real stakes.

Location & Duration

Austin, TX (on-site) · Summer 2027 (~10-12 wks) · Paid internship

What You Could Work On

  • Electrical systems that power and connect sensors, computers, and actuators on an autonomous weapon system
  • Circuit design, wire harness and interconnect work, and embedded hardware bring-up
  • Power distribution and signal integrity for a system that has to work reliably in the field, not just on a bench
  • Hands-on lab work: oscilloscopes, multimeters, and debugging real hardware, not just simulations

(We're keeping this general on purpose — exact projects depend on where things stand next summer, but this is the flavor of work you'd be doing.)

What We're Looking For

  • Currently pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field
  • Coursework or project experience in circuit design, embedded systems, or hardware integration
  • Comfortable in a lab environment with real test equipment
  • Excited to see your work physically integrated into hardware that actually ships

Why ACS

  • Direct impact: your work ships on hardware being fielded to protect real people — not stuck in a slide deck.
  • Real ownership: no red tape. You'll work directly with the engineers building Bullfrog, from day one.
  • Small team, big scope: at a startup this size, interns take on real problems, not busywork.
  • Mentorship from engineers who've designed and fielded real defense systems.

What We Offer

  • Competitive pay
  • ACS Equity Package
  • Health, Dental, Vision Insurance
  • Paid Time Off
