Electrical Engineer Intern

We are a venture-backed manufacturing startup building the most advanced automated production facilities in the United States. We are on a mission to make American manufacturing economically viable — through intelligent machinery, automation, and a relentless focus on execution.

We are early, we are moving fast, and we are looking for exceptional people who want to build something that matters.

ROLE SUMMARY

We're looking for an entry-level Electrical Engineer or Electrical Engineering Intern to join a small, fast-moving team designing and building large-scale industrial manufacturing equipment. This role works across the electrical side of the machine - from component selection through custom PCBA design and integration with industrial control systems - with real hands-on ownership from day one.

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

- Support the design and development of electrical systems for large-scale industrial manufacturing equipment, from early design through build and commissioning

- Evaluate, select, and specify electrical components - motors, VFDs, transformers, sensors, and related equipment - from third-party vendors and integrate them into machine designs

- Contribute to custom PCBA design, including schematic capture, layout coordination, and bring-up

- Develop and integrate PLC-based control systems to drive machine automation and sequencing

- Troubleshoot electrical systems across hardware, firmware, and controls - from bench-level debug to live machine diagnosis on the shop floor

- Generate electrical schematics, panel layouts, wiring diagrams, and BOMs to hand off to build technicians

- Work directly alongside build technicians on the shop floor to support panel builds, wiring, and system bring-up

- Collaborate cross-functionally with mechanical and controls engineers - including remote teammates - to integrate electrical systems into complete machine builds

- Contribute to defining electrical engineering standards, documentation practices, and team processes as the function scales

REQUIRED

- Pursuing or recently completed Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in electrical or computer engineering from an ABET-accredited program

- Relevant coursework or projects related to analog and/or digital circuit design, PLCs, or control systems

- Strong fundamentals in electronics and electrical theory

- Able to read and interpret electrical schematics, diagrams, and PCB layouts

- Hands-on troubleshooting ability at the bench - comfortable with a multimeter, oscilloscope, and power supply

- Effective communicator and collaborator in a distributed team environment

- Flexible with schedule and hours; thrives in a startup environment where priorities shift and urgency is real

NICE-TO-HAVE

- Prior internships or co-op experience working in industry, experience at an early-stage hard tech or deep tech startup a major plus

- Hands-on electronics experience in a professional or collegiate lab setting

- PCB design experience in KiCad, Altium, or similar - personal, class, or team project

- Leadership role on a student engineering team or competition project (FSAE, Baja, rocketry, robotics, or similar)

- Prior experience on a small team where you wore multiple hats

ADDITIONAL

- Willingness to travel as needed for vendor visits, factory acceptance testing, and on-site equipment commissioning

- Comfort with a startup pace - this role demands flexibility, self-direction, and a bias toward getting things done over waiting for perfect conditions
