Intern - Electrical Engineer

The role

You will design and validate hardware for the LeLamp robot. This includes working on power, sensing, actuation, and computation from schematic to physical board.

What you will do

• Contribute to PCBA design and validation for robot subsystems.
• Help develop early electrical concepts and assist with trade studies.
• Support schematics and layout work through fabrication and bring-up.
• Debug hardware issues systematically and close the loop with clear documentation.
• Review schematics, layouts, and BOMs alongside teammates.
• Support system integration and cross-boundary debugging between hardware and firmware.
• Perform hands-on bench work including soldering, rework, probing, and board bring-up.
• Help shape the platform's electrical architecture.

Required qualifications

• Pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering.
• Hands-on project or coursework experience.
• Fluent in Altium or similar tools across schematics and layout.
• Document clearly and drive issues to resolution.
• Comfortable at the bench with soldering, rework, probing, and prototype iteration.
• Experience involving power electronics, motor control, sensing systems, or embedded robotics hardware.
• Experience programming microcontrollers, DSPs, or FPGAs.
• Comfortable working in environments where architecture is still evolving.

Nice to have

• Strong EE fundamentals and curiosity about analog issues inside digital systems, ESD / signals connected to the outside world, voltage mismatch issues, and component behavior details.
• Love being at the bench as much as at the computer.
• Move quickly through iteration cycles.
• Take ownership over your work end to end.
• Work well in small, collaborative teams.
