Intern, Electrical Engineer

About the role

This position is responsible for the design, development, and verification of custom electrical assemblies and interconnects. The role involves full‑stack development of mixed‑signal printed circuit boards (PCBs) containing high‑speed digital circuitry, embedded systems, power conversion, and related technologies, as well as associated chassis and interface wiring design.

Responsibilities

• Utilize electrical design tools (e.g., Altium, PSpice) to convert technical requirements into schematic diagrams, printed circuit board layouts, and assembly drawings.
• Read and interpret electrical drawings and designs to ensure adherence to established specifications and standards.
• Prepare technical drawings, specifications, or topographical maps to ensure installation and operations conform to standards and customer requirements.
• Assist System Architects in researching, designing, and evaluating systems or processes to meet customer requirements, ensuring designs are producible and error‑free.
• Provide component‑level review and in‑depth electrical troubleshooting support for Manufacturing, Technical Services, and Sales departments.
• Investigate electrical equipment failures or difficulties, diagnose faulty operation, and recommend remedial actions.
• Design, implement, maintain, or improve electrical equipment, components, products, or systems for commercial, industrial, or military purposes.
• Develop or test electrical models of alternate designs or processing methods to assess feasibility, sustainability, operating condition effects, potential new applications, or necessity of modification.
• Direct or coordinate electrical manufacturing and testing activities to ensure compliance with specifications, codes, or customer requirements.
• Specify electrical components or direct modification of products to ensure conformance with engineering design, performance specifications, or environmental regulations.
• Compile data and write reports regarding existing or potential electrical engineering studies or projects.
• Design electrical test control apparatus or equipment, or develop procedures for testing products.
• Perform detailed electrical calculations to compute and establish manufacturing standards or specifications.
• Research and analyze customer design proposals, specifications, manuals, or other data to evaluate feasibility, cost, or maintenance requirements of electrical designs or applications.
• Evaluate electrical designs or prototypes for energy performance or environmental impact.
• Plan or implement research methodology or procedures to apply principles of electrical theory to engineering projects.
• Design electrical systems or components that minimize energy requirements.
• Write electrical performance requirements for product development or engineering projects.
• Provide technical assistance for the Pilot Line build and testing of new products and systems.

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

• Experience with printed circuit design and layout, and systems integration.
• Ability to sit, stand, and bend at various times while lifting and reviewing computer hardware items.
• Ability to inspect products and effectively use a computer on a daily basis.
• Familiarity with engineering software programs (Altium Designer, AutoDesk Inventor, AutoCAD).
• Demonstrated multitasking ability to meet several simultaneous project milestones, including completion of multiple projects.
• Works well both independently and in a team environment; willing to change priorities as needed.

Required Qualifications

• Must be a US Person (US Citizen, US Permanent Resident, or other protected status).
• Pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering or a related field.

Preferred Qualifications

• PCB and schematic layout experience.
• Experience with CAD software related work.
• Knowledge of computer equipment.

Working Conditions

Work is primarily performed in an office environment with occasional exposure to manufacturing floor and testing environments. May require lifting up to 25 lb and standing for extended periods during product testing.

Schedule

Monday – Friday, 8 am – 5 pm. Full‑time, on‑site; no travel required.
