Position Overview

We are seeking a motivated Systems Engineering Intern with a Hardware Focus to support the development, integration, and validation of electronic control modules. This role offers hands-on experience working alongside experienced engineers to understand how system and customer requirements translate into hardware features, circuit interfaces, module behavior, and validation activities.

The intern will support systems-level engineering activities with an emphasis on hardware understanding, bench and vehicle testing, requirements analysis, issue investigation, and cross-functional collaboration with hardware, software, validation, and product engineering teams.

Job Responsibilities may include:

Assist in reviewing, interpreting, and documenting customer, system, and hardware-related requirements for electronic control modules

Support system and hardware-level analysis, including circuit interface behavior, power distribution, signal integrity considerations, thermal considerations, and operating margin

Participate in bench and vehicle testing activities, including test setup, instrumentation, data collection, results documentation, and initial analysis

Use lab equipment such as digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, loads, signal generators, and communication tools to support testing and troubleshooting

Help troubleshoot hardware, software, or system issues using structured problem-solving methods such as 8D, 5-Why, or fault-tree analysis

Support updates to engineering benches, test fixtures, harnesses, load boxes, and lab capabilities used for hardware and system validation

Participate in design reviews, schematic reviews, requirements reviews, validation reviews, and technical discussions with cross-functional engineering teams

Documenting and presenting test results and system findings
