Our technology enables the widespread adoption of superconductors in fusion magnets, power transmission, and next-generation energy systems.\nNo one sells the equipment to make what we make, so we design and build our own. Turning a lab discovery into manufactured wire draws on mechanical design, thermal and fluid systems, chemistry, controls, cryogenics, and data, often all in the same problem. Engineering interns spend 10 to 12 weeks embedded with our engineering team, working with them to define and own a project that measurably improves how we make our product. At the end of the summer, interns present their results to the team.\nJob Responsibilities\nWork with the engineering team to define a project, then own it from investigation through results.\n\nLearn the system-level requirements and constraints your project sits within.\n\nDesign, build, test, or analyze as your project demands, including CAD and fabrication drawings where needed.\n\nDocument findings, decisions, and results in a format that carries forward after the internship ends.\n\nContribute to troubleshooting and day-to-day problem solving alongside the team.\n\nPresent your results to the engineering team at the end of the summer.\n\nRequirements\nCurrently pursuing a degree in engineering, physics, chemistry, or a related field, graduating after Summer 2027.\n\nA track record of building, fixing, or investigating things, in a lab, on a project team, in a job, or on your own.\n\nComfort with ambiguous, hands-on problems and learning unfamiliar systems quickly.\n\nPreferred Requirements\nExperience taking a project from an open question to a working result.\n\nAmpeers is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2115,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Advanced Materials","Materials Science & Nanotechnology","Electrical Equipment & Cables"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-10T19:46:47Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":28,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.639,"p_room":0.44,"age_days":41,"expected_fill_days":32,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail","crowd:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-11-10T20:51:20Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ampeers-summer-2027-engineering-internship","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ampeers-summer-2027-engineering-internship.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-10T20:51:20Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":13782,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-11T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4416700},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4416700"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fampeers-summer-2027-engineering-internship"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fampeers-summer-2027-engineering-internship"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fampeers-summer-2027-engineering-internship"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/ampeers-summer-2027-engineering-internship\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fampeers-summer-2027-engineering-internship"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4034678}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"ampeers.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4034678},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
