Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated engineering intern

to support the development, testing, and validation of advanced electrical and electromechanical systems. This role is ideal for a hands‑on candidate interested in bridging software, hardware, and real‑world lab experimentation. You will work closely with experienced engineers on high‑performance systems involving power electronics, control, and instrumentation.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain test scripts and automation tools using Python and/or C
  • Assist in hardware bring‑up, debugging, and validation of electrical systems
  • Operate and configure lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, power supplies, electronic loads, etc.)
  • Support data acquisition, analysis, and visualization
  • Participate in prototype assembly, wiring, and bench testing, as well as contribute to troubleshooting of electrical, firmware, or system‑level issues
  • Document test procedures, results, and engineering findings

Requirements

  • Currently pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
  • Basic proficiency in Python and/or C programming
  • Familiarity with analog/digital circuits, microcontrollers/embedded systems, and serial communication protocols (UART, SPI, I²C)
  • Comfortable working in a lab environment using tools such as oscilloscopes, function generators, and DAQ systems
  • Strong problem‑solving, attention to detail, and ability to read schematics and debug circuits; exposure to power electronics or control systems is a plus
