Summer Engineering Intern

Odin Dynamics • Los Angeles, CA

1d

About The Position

Odin Dynamics, founded in 2025, is a defense technology company focused on building autonomous underwater vehicles for undersea warfare. They aim to deliver capable and resilient autonomous systems to strengthen the strategic advantage of the United States and its allied navies. This internship offers a hands-on experience where interns will be embedded on small teams working on real vehicle systems, writing code, designing hardware, and seeing the results of their work in the lab or in the water. The internship is available across four tracks: Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Hardware Engineering. Interns will be matched to a track and project based on their skills and interests, with an expectation of cross-disciplinary learning and contribution.

Requirements

• Currently pursuing a B.S. or M.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Robotics, Ocean Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
• Genuine interest in building physical systems that operate in the real world — robots, vehicles, hardware, not just software on a screen.
• Foundational skills relevant to your track — whether that's CAD and fabrication, circuit design and soldering, embedded programming, or full-stack development.
• A bias toward action — you build things, break things, and figure things out.
• Comfort working in a fast-paced, small-team environment where you'll be trusted with real responsibility.
• U.S. Citizenship.

Nice To Haves

• Personal or academic projects in robotics, autonomous systems, or marine/aerospace engineering.
• Experience with hands-on prototyping, shop tools, or lab equipment.
• Prior internship or co-op experience in defense, aerospace, or hardware-focused companies.
• Familiarity with version control, embedded systems, or CAD/CAE tools.

Responsibilities

• Own a meaningful project scoped for the summer with real deliverables that contribute to the vehicle program.
• Work alongside full-time engineers in your discipline on day-to-day design, build, and test activities.
• Participate in design reviews, team standups, and engineering discussions.
• Get hands-on with hardware — whether that's assembling boards, machining parts, running tests, or deploying systems in the water.
• Present your work and results to the engineering team at the end of the summer.

Benefits

• Opportunity to work on systems that go in the ocean and serve the U.S. Navy and allied partners.
• A summer where you learn fast, build real things, and contribute to the hardest engineering problems in defense.
