Electrical Engineering Intern
About The Position
As an Electrical Engineering Intern, you will gain hands-on engineering experience supporting the design, development, integration, and testing of electrical systems for Oshkosh vehicles and products. You’ll work alongside Electrical Engineers and cross-functional teams to apply what you’re learning in the classroom to real engineering challenges. Depending on your project assignment, you may gain experience with vehicle electrical systems, embedded controls, wire harness design, electrical schematics, component selection, prototype builds, testing, or troubleshooting. Throughout your internship, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to meaningful engineering work, build your technical skills, and see your designs and solutions come to life on real products.
Requirements
- Pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related engineering field
- Interest in vehicle electrical systems, embedded systems, controls, or electrical product development
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- Ability to communicate and collaborate effectively with engineering and cross-functional teams
- Willingness to learn new engineering tools, technologies, and processes
- Willingness to travel or relocate to Oshkosh, WI for the duration of the summer internship
