Agilent Technologies•Corvallis, OR

15d•$25 - $30

About The Position

We are seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Electrical Engineering Intern to join our engineering team. This internship offers hands-on experience in electrical design, product development from prototyping through production support, including engineering analysis in a collaborative and fast-paced environment. You’ll work closely with experienced engineers and scientists to design, fabricate, and validate components for cutting-edge analytical instrumentation.

Requirements

Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree Junior or above in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
Strong interest in electrical design, manufacturing, or product development.
Familiarity with CAD tools (e.g., SolidWorks, Creo, or NX) NX preferred.
Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
Effective communication and teamwork abilities.
Eagerness to adapt and self-educate in a dynamic work environment.
Expected graduation date: 2027 or later
Availability to work 16–20 hours/week during the academic year or full-time during the summer

Responsibilities

Design electrical sub-systems using Siemens NX applying DFM/DFA principles.
Perform basic engineering calculations, use computer modeling software (Ansys Workbench).
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (manufacturing, quality, and R&D) to support project development.
Participate in product validation, test setup, and data analysis.
Assist in maintaining project documentation and ensuring compliance with engineering standards.
Contribute to process improvements and innovation initiatives.
Design, simulate, and validate RF driver circuitry, including resonant topologies, impedance-matched stages, and high-frequency switching elements.
Develop and characterize high-voltage power systems for precision control applications within analytical instruments.
Contribute to custom magnetic component design, including coils, transformers, and inductive structures for RF/HV applications.
Perform schematic capture and multilayer PCB layout using KiCad, Altium, and industry-standard design rules.
Prototype and test high-power switching systems, collecting and analyzing performance data using oscilloscopes, DMMs, function generators, and advanced instrumentation.
Execute failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) on RF/HV hardware components and participate in iterative design improvements.
Integrate microcontrollers (STM32, AVR, Teensy, etc.) into RF/HV subsystems for monitoring, digital control, and system communication.
Assist in maintaining and improving equipment uptime through preventative maintenance practices.
