Electrical Engineering Intern

Location: Midland, TX (Relocation Assistance provided)

Position Type: Full time

About the Role

We are seeking an Electrical Engineering Intern to support the design, assembly, and testing of electrical harnesses for spacecraft and ground support equipment. This position is tailored for recent graduates or current students graduating soon who have basic hands-on electrical experience (through personal projects, lab work, trade experience, or prior internships) and are eager to jumpstart their career in aerospace hardware development.

Responsibilities

• Harness Design & Assembly: Assist in building, routing, and integrating electrical harnesses for spacecraft and ground support systems.
• Schematics & Documentation: Help draft wiring diagrams, electrical schematics, and harness installation procedures using standard CAD tools.
• Testing & Troubleshooting: Participate in hands-on electrical testing, execute test procedures, troubleshoot harness continuity, and document test results.
• Component Selection: Learn to select appropriate wiring, connectors, backshells, and shielding components for high-reliability environments.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner directly with experienced electrical, mechanical, RF, and systems engineers to ensure smooth hardware integration.

Qualifications

• Education: Recent graduate in Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.
• Practical Experience: Basic hands-on electrical experience (e.g., soldering, wire crimping, harness assembly, breadboarding, or university team projects like Formula SAE, DBF, or CubeSat).
• Engineering Fundamentals: Baseline understanding of electrical circuit analysis, grounding, shielding, and wiring principles.
• Software Familiarity: Exposure to electrical CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD Electrical, CATIA, Autodesk Inventor, or Altium) and simulation tools (e.g., SPICE or MATLAB).
• Mindset: Eager to learn, detail-oriented, and comfortable working hands-on with flight hardware in a fast-paced environment.
