Electrical Engineer Intern

Job description

Job requirements

• Currently pursuing a BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field — with solid coursework in circuits, electronics, and systems
• Strong grasp of analog circuit fundamentals: Ohm's law, Kirchhoff's laws, op-amp configurations, voltage dividers, filter design, and signal conditioning — you can analyze a schematic and spot problems before powering…
• Understanding of power electronics basics: switching regulators (buck, boost), linear regulators, H-bridge motor drive topologies, and the difference between continuous and discontinuous conduction modes
• Foundational knowledge of digital systems: logic levels, pull-up/pull-down resistors, GPIO, SPI/I²C/UART protocols, and how a microcontroller talks to peripheral ICs at the register level
• Hands-on experience with schematic capture and PCB layout in KiCad, Altium Designer, or Eagle — you have designed at least one board that you ordered, assembled, and powered up yourself
• Understanding of PCB layout best practices for mixed-signal designs: ground plane management, power plane separation, decoupling capacitor placement, trace impedance, and keeping analog and digital domains from…
• Familiarity with rigid-flex or flex PCB design concepts is a strong plus — robotic fingers have almost no room for rigid boards and connectors, so flex circuits are a primary design medium on this platform
• Ability to read component datasheets end to end — you can select an appropriate motor driver IC, understand its thermal limits, wire up its bootstrap circuitry, and configure it over SPI without being walked through it…
