• Generate, file, and maintain workshop and lab documentation including schematics, layouts, procedures, processes, reports, and supporting validation records.
• Maintain organization of lab equipment, cabinets, drawers, storage areas, fixtures, brackets, tooling, and lab consumables to support traceability and readiness.
• Support test vehicle readiness activities including vehicle inspections, vehicle logistics checklists, parts pickup, parts running for maintenance, vehicle service coordination, vehicle pickup and drop off, and vehicle detailing.
• Assist with wiring harness builds, test vehicle builds, test setup preparation, and related mechanical or electrical build activities under engineer or technician supervision.

WHAT YOU BRING TO THE ROLE

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related engineering field.
• Comfortable with hands‑on mechanical and electrical work, including basic hand tools, wiring, lab equipment, vehicle support, and test setup activities.
• Basic understanding of electrical schematics, automotive electronic products, validation testing, lab documentation, or vehicle systems.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to maintain accurate documentation, equipment records, and readiness trackers.
• Valid driver’s license for vehicle logistics, service support, and pickup or drop off activities, where required.
• Good communication skills with internal team members, engineers, technicians, lab personnel, and suppliers.
• Since this is a year‑long internship, you must be enrolled in a program for the duration of the internship.
• Must have and maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0.
• Minimum Sophomore standing or higher.
• Must be able to work on site during normal business hours (Mon‑Fri).
