If we get the first platform right, we can move fast on everything else: larger airframes, longer range, new payloads, and new mission profiles without rebuilding the stack each time.\nWe were founded by brothers Matthew and Alexander Le Maitre. Matthew is a former Jane Street engineer and Cambridge CS graduate with a background in autonomous systems research. Alexander is a self-taught hardware engineer who has been building unmanned systems and military-grade electronics.\nWe're an early-stage, fast-moving team working at the intersection of robotics, perception, and real-world deployment. We iterate weekly. We test in real environments.\nThe Role\nYou'll work alongside our hardware team on the electronics that make our drones fly - schematics, PCB layouts, bring-up, bench testing, and field testing.\nThis isn't an internship where you'll be reading documentation in a corner. You'll have your own boards, your own scope, and your own bench. The PCBs you design will be populated, brought up, and flown by the team - sometimes in the same week.\nYou'll work directly with Alex and the wider hardware team on subsystems going into real airframes. You'll learn the full loop from blank schematic to a working board strapped to a drone in the field.\nWhat You'll Do\nDesign PCBs end-to-end on focused subsystems: sensor breakouts, power boards, test boards, and bring-up tools.\nOwn schematic capture and multi-layer layout under the guidance of senior engineers.\nBring up, debug, and validate boards on the bench - scopes, logic analysers, signal generators, the works.\nSolder, rework, and assemble prototype boards with your own hands.\nBuild test rigs and validation jigs that catch problems before they hit the airframe.\nSupport integration of new electronics into our drones and ground station hardware.\nParticipate in schematic, layout, and BOM reviews - both as the engineer being reviewed and learning to review others.\nUse AI tools to accelerate design, firmware, and debug.\nGet out of the workshop and into the field with us for flight tests.\nWhat We're Looking For\nCurrently studying Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, or a closely related discipline.\nA solid grasp of analog, digital, and power electronics fundamentals.\nHands-on PCB design experience in Altium or KiCad - coursework, side projects, hackathons, or personal builds all count.\nComfortable with EE lab equipment: oscilloscope, multimeter, signal generator, bench supply, soldering iron.\nSome scripting in Python or C.\nA portfolio of personal projects, builds, or coursework that proves you actually like making things.\nComfortable getting outside and testing in the real world with us.\nNice to Have\nPersonal experience building or flying drones, robots, or other unmanned systems.\nEmbedded work with STM32-class MCUs and protocols such as SPI, I2C, UART, USB, CAN, or Ethernet.\nExposure to RF or wireless design.\nC/C++ firmware for board bring-up and diagnostics.\nPrevious internship, freelance, or club work on real electronic products.\nFamiliarity with DFM and EMI considerations.\nWhy Join\nReal responsibility from week one - your boards will fly.\nA direct line to senior hardware engineers and the founders.\nFast iteration: from schematic to soldered to flying in weeks, not quarters.\nA portfolio of shipped, field-tested hardware by the end of the internship.\nSnack of choice stocked in the workshop.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3863,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Electrical & Electronic Engineering","Drones & UAVs","Military Drones"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-25T17:23:59Z"}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":60,"reasons":["conf:0","win:early","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-09-26T00:27:25Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":47688,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/seeing-systems-electrical-engineering-intern","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/seeing-systems-electrical-engineering-intern.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-26T00:27:25Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":367,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":4633,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-09-27T00:00:00Z"}}}
