Job description

We're building safety-enhancing technology for aviation that will save lives. Automated aviation systems will enable a future where air transportation is safer, more convenient and fundamentally transformative to the way goods — and eventually people — move around the planet. We are a team of mission-driven engineers with experience across aerospace, robotics and self-driving cars working to make this future a reality.

The Avionics Hardware team is a small group of highly motivated engineers who develop the core compute, actuation, sensing, and power electronics products at the heart of our automation system. We enjoy cradle-to-grave hardware ownership and hands-on test, iteration, and deployment of our designs. As an Avionics Intern, you will drive development of electrical components and sub-systems across our airborne and test platforms from the circuit-board level up through integrated systems and everything in between.

Responsibilities

In your role as an Avionics Intern, you will own at least one project from conceptual design through build and test. You will work side-by-side with our electrical, mechanical, software, manufacturing and test engineers and gain exposure to the wide array of technical challenges being solved at Reliable Robotics. Avionics interns experience the full hardware development cycle. Your assignments will be high priority projects incorporating value-added capabilities into our automated flight systems.

Basic Success Criteria

• Enrollment in a 4-year college degree program or a graduate degree program in electrical or computer engineering
• Ability to work within a team, including strong written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to methodically diagnose, document, and solve electronic hardware problems

Preferred Success Criteria

• Direct hands-on experience with analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuit design, analysis, test, and debug
• Experience with ECAD tools such as Altium
• Proficiency with Python and/or MATLAB for analysis, data review, and test setup scripting
• Eagerness to both teach and learn
