Electrical Engineering Intern (Fall)

About Us

Auriga is building the future of defense and space transportation. Our electromagnetic launch systems replace traditional rocket motors with reusable, electrically powered technology capable of accelerating payloads to extreme speeds. From hypersonic testing and missile defense to responsive space access, we're solving some of the hardest engineering challenges facing national security today. If you're excited by ambitious missions, rapid innovation, hands-on development, and the opportunity to build technology that has never existed before, we'd love to hear from you.

About the Role

We are seeking an Electrical Engineering Intern to join our growing team and assist in the testing and validation of components and subsystems. The individual will work hands-on in the lab, including setting up experiments, gathering data, and interpreting results, and will contribute to system integration efforts across electrical, mechanical, and software domains. The ideal candidate thrives in a start-up environment and is excited to work hands-on with a small, high-performing team pushing the boundaries of next-generation launch technology.
