About The Position

Wing is hiring an Aircraft Electrical Engineering Intern for its Hardware Engineering Team in Palo Alto, California. This is a paid, 12-week summer internship in a hybrid, in-person program, with start dates in May or June. Interns gain experience in the drone delivery industry and contribute across the engineering lifecycle, from prototyping and design through validation and deployment, to solve electrical engineering problems in complex systems. The intern will design, validate, program, and modify printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs), and test and validate their integration into aircraft systems. The role involves collaborating with cross-functional teams, including layout, mechanical, aerodynamics, and reliability teams, to optimize solutions. Applicants must be currently enrolled in a degree program and intend to return to it after the internship. Candidates must be pursuing a bachelor's or master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field, with an expected graduation date between December 2027 and August 2028. The listed US base salary range is $120,000–$126,000, plus benefits; the recruiter can provide location-specific details during hiring.
