Electrical Engineering Intern (Fall 2026)
About The Position
As an Electrical Engineering Intern, you will play a hands-on role in designing, developing, and testing solutions for customer-facing projects. In this role, you will take technical ownership over key components, rapidly prototype ideas, and participate in the hardware development process from ideation to production. Whether it’s laying out a custom PCB, debugging firmware on a prototype board, or integrating embedded systems, you’ll have the opportunity to apply what you know, and quickly level up on what you don’t. This internship is designed to accelerate your technical growth, giving you the chance to make measurable contributions while building a strong foundation in professional engineering practices.
Requirements
- Current enrollment in college (Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, Math, or related field)
- First or second year circuits classes and knowledge of electrical engineering fundamentals
- Familiarity with at least one programming language (e.g., Python, C, C++, R, etc.) or hardware description language (e.g., Verilog, VHDL)
- Demonstrated passion and curiosity for electrical engineering
- Strong problem-solving skills and initiative to overcome technical challenges
- Strong written and verbal technical communication skills; ability to explain design decisions and component selections
- Experience with one or more of the following: analog circuits, mixed-signal designs, embedded programming, RF, power electronics, or optical systems development
- Applicants must be able to commit to an internship from Tuesday, September 8, 2026 to Friday, December 18, 2026
- Applicant must be willing to work 40 hours a week on-site in El Segundo, California, USA
- Applicant must be eligible to work on export controlled projects

Unfortunately, we are unable to provide sponsorship at this time.
Nice To Haves
- Experience in team-based design and build projects (e.g., Formula SAE, Solar Car, CubeSat, Rover Challenge, etc.)
- Experience with analog small-signal circuit design (filters, op-amp circuits, signal conditioning) and/or power electronics designs: regulators, load drivers, supply filters, protection circuitry
- Experience in any common ECAD tool, such as Altium Designer, KiCad, Cadence, PADS, EAGLE, etc.
- Experience with circuit simulation using LTspice, Pspice, or similar programs
Responsibilities
- Contribute to the design of electrical and embedded systems for customers across various industries
- Partner closely with a mentor who will provide technical guidance, feedback, and support throughout the entire internship
- Perform schematic capture, PCB layout, component selection, and electrical prototyping
- Utilize standard lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters, etc.) to perform board bring-up, troubleshooting, and system-level debugging
- Write and debug embedded C code or HDL (e.g., Verilog/VHDL)
Benefits
- Salary: $70,400 annual salary, prorated for length of internship
- Flexible work hours and work from home policy
- 100% employer-paid health insurance (Medical, Dental, Vision) for employees + 50% dependent coverage
