About The Position

About Brelle “Energy for what moves us” defines our mission at Brelle. Based in California, Brelle engineers next-generation platforms for supercars and superbikes, working alongside high-performance brands in the US and Europe. Our innovations are built on a novel battery pack architecture, a full-stack software platform, and automated manufacturing. Joining the team means working on making electric vehicles—on the road and on the racetrack—lighter, more engaging, safer, and capable of charging in minutes. Our engineering teams are structured like small Skunkworks teams – nimble, cross-functional, and technical. Engineers are encouraged to explore new concepts and materials and expected to rapidly go from idea to prototype. About the Role We are looking for a motivated Electrical Engineering intern to join our hardware team and contribute to the development of next-generation embedded systems and automotive electronics. This is a hands-on role where you'll work alongside experienced engineers on real products shipped to customers.
