Skydio Electrical Engineer Intern at Skydio to prototype, validate, and develop electrical systems for autonomous flying sensors. Responsible for low-voltage hardware development, PCB layout, prototyping, and cross-functional collaboration.
Responsibilities
We are seeking interns to join our EE team this Fall, with an October or November start. We are looking for Electrical Engineering Interns who will help prototype, validate, develop, and refine the electrical systems that bring together state-of-the-art computing hardware, sensing, and power systems in the latest autonomous flying sensors. As a member of the Electrical Engineering team, you will be helping solve tough challenges alongside a team of world-class engineers.
How you’ll make an impact:
Take ownership of low-voltage electronic hardware development, including specification, schematic design, PCB layout, prototyping, and fabrication
Perform hands-on bring-up, assembly, and debugging of custom circuit boards for testing and validation
Collaborate cross-functionally with mechanical, firmware, reliability, software, and electrical teams to build reliable test and validation systems for new products
Develop and test PCBAs for subsystems such as power distribution, battery management, sensing, motor control, and computing
Participate in schematic, layout, and BOM reviews, providing feedback on internally and externally developed designs
Support system integration and test activities through test execution, troubleshooting, and failure analysis.
What makes you a good fit:
Currently pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering (or a related field)
Solid grasp of electrical engineering fundamentals
Familiar with basic EE lab tools (oscilloscope, signal generators, etc.)
Qualification
Familiar with an EDA software suiteAbility to work autonomously
