Electrical Engineering Intern
Design and prototype PCBAs and electrical systems for semiconductor fabrication equipment, taking projects from schematic and layout through testing, integration, and documentation. The role requires an engineering student with strong electrical fundamentals and hands-on prototyping experience.
About the job
Responsibilities
- Design PCBAs and electrical systems for fabrication machines, driving schematic capture, layout, bring-up, testing, integration, and documentation.
- Collaborate with software, mechanical, and process teams to gather system requirements and independently investigate ambiguous or missing requirements.
- Evaluate design approaches through detailed electrical analysis and simulations, balancing off-the-shelf components against custom solutions.
- Identify problems, prototype solutions, productionize prototypes, and deliver finished systems.
Requirements
- Pursuing a bachelor's degree or higher in engineering.
- Strong foundation in electrical engineering, including KiCad or Altium, microcontrollers, embedded systems, and digital circuits.
- Ability to learn quickly and troubleshoot technical problems.
- Hands-on prototyping experience and ability to move quickly through design cycles.
- Portfolio demonstrating medium- to high-complexity systems built through personal projects or prior internships.
Nice-to-haves
- Familiarity with semiconductor processing, including ALD, CVD, PVD, and photolithography.
- Hands-on experience with electromechanical assembly design and analysis through coursework, internships, or personal projects.
Compensation and Benefits
- Hourly rate equivalent to an annualized range of $108,000–$126,000, depending on experience and education level. Actual earnings vary based on internship length and hours worked.
- Housing stipend.
- Daily lunches, dinners three times per week, and stocked office kitchen.
- Weekly learning and development opportunities.
- Commuter benefits, including parking and late-night rideshare transportation.
- Paid time off, including holidays and sick time.
