Electronics/Electrical Engineering Internship
About The Position
Badger Meter is seeking an Electrical Engineering Intern to join its engineering team and support the electrical design and testing of smart water products, including a new ultrasonic flow-meter platform. Working with experienced engineers, the intern will gain hands-on experience in electrical design, prototyping, circuit testing, troubleshooting, embedded systems, and technical documentation, while supporting product development and verification activities and learning about ultrasonic flow-meter technology and the STM32 embedded platform. This is an onsite, 40-hour-per-week summer internship at Badger Meter's Milwaukee facility. The internship program offers hands-on project experience, mentorship, professional development, community outreach, and a final capstone project. The position is performed in office, electronics laboratory, and hydro laboratory environments.
