About The Position

The Electrical Engineering Intern will support the design of custom circuit technology for software-defined radio applications. Working alongside experienced engineers on a multidisciplinary team, the intern will help develop digital and RF circuits for national security missions involving areas such as signal intelligence, cyber operations, machine learning, image processing, applied data analytics, and active threat deterrence.

The internship provides hands-on experience contributing to advanced communications systems, including board-level integration of high-speed digital components, commercially available chipsets, and embedded processors. The role includes circuit design support, documentation, hardware testing, debugging, and performance characterization.

Requirements

• Currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
• Completed one year of coursework in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
• Interest in communications systems, embedded hardware, and high-speed digital design.
• Strong problem-solving skills and willingness to learn in a team-oriented environment.

Nice To Haves

• Coursework or project experience related to circuit design, PCB layout, embedded systems, or FPGA-based design.
• Familiarity with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, or signal generators.
• Exposure to schematic capture, PCB design tools, or hardware verification methods.
• Familiarity with common digital interfaces such as SPI, UART, DDR, PCIe, or Ethernet.

Responsibilities

• Coordinate with senior electrical engineers and gain hands-on experience with schematic capture, simulation, PCB analysis, and layout support.
• Help document designs, including requirements, test procedures, and bills of material.
• Help document engineering change requests covering modifications to circuit-card components, specifications, or manufacturing processes.
• Support hardware testing, performance evaluation, and board-level debugging.
• Contribute to custom circuit-card development using FPGAs, embedded processors, networking components, and other electronic devices.
• Assist with performance characterization of hardware across a range of environmental conditions.
• Work with industry-standard interfaces such as Ethernet, SPI, UART, SDRAM, DDR3/DDR4, JESD, PCIe, and 1000BASE-T.
• Participate in design reviews, integration activities, and team technical discussions.
