• 1st Term (Sophomore Year):
• Participate in board prototyping activities including schematic review, basic bring-up, and hands-on circuit assembly. Collaborate with Hardware, Firmware, Mechanical, and Software Engineering teams to support early-stage product development and gain exposure to system architecture and design tools. Additionally, work with Quality Engineers to assist in product qualification efforts including cycle testing, environmental validation, and regulatory compliance assessments.
• 2nd Term (Junior Year):
• Contribute to failure analysis and component evaluation efforts. Assist in root cause investigations, alternate component selection, and design validation. Work alongside Hardware and Firmware Engineers to refine board-level designs and support integration efforts.
• 3rd Term (Senior Year):
• Take ownership of hardware design tasks such as schematic layout, component selection, and PCB design. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop and validate electrical subsystems. Demonstrate increasing autonomy and technical depth, preparing to transition into a Junior Electrical Engineer role upon graduation.

Qualifications:

• Candidate is currently enrolled in an ABET-accredited Engineering program with at least sophomore standing.
• Majoring in Electrical Engineering
• Minimum 3.0 GPA.
• Ability to apply basic engineering concepts to technical problems.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications.
• Strong interpersonal skills and ability to work independently or collaboratively in a team environment.
• Positive attitude and eagerness to take on technical challenges in a hands-on setting.

Nice to Have Skills:

• Experience with board-level design, including schematic layout, component selection, and PCB design tools.
• Familiarity with common lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, power supplies, and signal generators.
• Basic understanding of firmware development (e.g., C/C++ for microcontrollers) is a plus.
• Exposure to CAD tools for electrical and mechanical design.

Program Details

• Duration: 3 alternating semesters (~12–15 months)
• Schedule: Full-time (40 hrs/week during work terms)
• Location: 9201 Baybrook Lane, Charlotte, NC 28277
