What is a Fall Electrical Engineering Internship?

A Fall Electrical Engineering Internship is a temporary position, typically offered during the fall semester, where students or recent graduates gain practical, hands-on experience in the electrical engineering field. Interns work under the supervision of experienced engineers and may assist with projects involving circuit design, testing, analysis, and troubleshooting. The internship provides valuable exposure to real-world engineering challenges and helps students develop technical and professional skills that are important for their future careers. It often serves as a stepping stone to full-time employment and can help interns build a professional network within the industry.

What is the difference between Fall Electrical Engineering Internship vs Fall Electrical Engineering Co-op?

AspectFall Electrical Engineering InternshipFall Electrical Engineering Co-op
CredentialsTypically students pursuing electrical engineering degreesUsually students in similar academic stages, often with some coursework completed
Work EnvironmentShort-term, project-based, often in corporate or industrial settingsLonger-term, integrated with academic schedule, often in industry or research labs
DurationUsually 8-12 weeks during fall semesterTypically semester-long, 4-6 months, overlapping academic terms
PurposeGain initial industry experience and explore career interestsApply academic knowledge in real-world projects, often with ongoing employment potential

While both Fall Electrical Engineering Internships and Co-ops provide valuable industry experience, internships are shorter, more focused on exploration, and often serve as a stepping stone. Co-ops are longer, integrated with academic programs, and offer deeper industry engagement.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Fall Electrical Engineering Intern, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Fall Electrical Engineering Intern, you should have a solid grounding in circuit theory, electronics, and problem-solving, typically demonstrated by progress toward a degree in electrical engineering or a related field. Familiarity with tools such as MATLAB, AutoCAD, SPICE simulation software, and basic laboratory equipment is commonly expected. Strong communication, teamwork, and eagerness to learn help interns excel in collaborative, fast-paced environments. These skills and qualities enable interns to effectively contribute to engineering projects, absorb technical knowledge, and support the team’s success.

What kinds of projects and tasks can I expect to work on during a Fall Electrical Engineering Internship?

As a Fall Electrical Engineering Intern, you'll typically be involved in a variety of hands-on and collaborative projects, such as assisting with circuit design, testing prototypes, troubleshooting systems, or drafting technical documentation. Interns often work closely with senior engineers, participate in team meetings, and contribute to ongoing real-world projects within the company. The scope of your work may also include data analysis, research on emerging technologies, and support for product development cycles. This role provides valuable exposure to industry tools and processes, helping you build practical skills and network with professionals in the field.

Job description

A New Paradigm For Space Operations.

Who We Are: 

Space Kinetic is a dual use space technology startup building a completely new architecture for space operations - one that brings the advantages of proliferated drone technology (low-cost, operationally flexible, attritable, distributed) to space missions while reducing the ecosystem's reliance on consumable fuel. In a world where many companies are focused on incrementally improving the status quo,  we are focused on creating something entirely different - an architecture underpinned by new first principles to meet the opportunities and challenges of the third space age head-on.  Our goal is to move away from one-to-one space architectures - where each satellite in a constellation has one (or a small # of) primary payloads attached to the bus -- and unlock a 'one-to-many' system, where each satellite has a large number of payloads which can be deployed from their host spacecraft at high velocities without firing a thruster.

This is not a role for someone looking for a traditional 40-hour work week. Space Kinetic is building ambitious, first-of-its-kind technology, and that requires urgency, ownership, and a high level of commitment to changing the foundational assumptions for everything we do in space

Our Intern Program:

Space Kinetic's internship program is designed to identify top early-career talent for potential full-time roles. Over the three-month program, interns are paired with a mentor, assigned one to three meaningful projects, and provide monthly progress updates to the Leadership team.

Interns who demonstrate strong performance, ownership, and alignment with Space Kinetic's mission may receive a full-time offer upon successful completion of the internship.

What You'll Do: 
Interns acquire hands-on learning experience while working on meaningful projects to gain significant career experience.   At Space Kinetic, we provide the tools, training and mentorship for interns to do their very best work and discover opportunities to advance their careers, providing a pathway for personal growth. 

As an Electrical Engineer Intern, this role will include a combination of design and hands-on activities to support the development, design, assembly, troubleshooting, and repair of innovative electrical and mechanical systems. The intern will work closely with senior electrical and mechanical designers and have an opportunity to participate in circuit and system design and analysis using industry standard design and modelling tools.  As designs are fabricated, the intern will participate in troubleshooting and testing of the prototype equipment and contribute to system integration tasks including interconnecting sensors, data acquisition systems, motor drivers, and computers.  Candidates should possess strong engineering fundamentals and have a passion for both hands-on design and analysis.  The Intern will be working with Space Kinetic engineers on site, supporting testing of prototypes, collecting data, and providing reports to the engineering team.

What It Takes:

  • Currently pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering at an accredited college or university and graduating within the next semester or have recently graduated
  • Experience working with electrical systems
  • Passion for design, manufacturing, and testing of space systems and/or mechanisms.
  • Analytical, problem-solving, and electrical skills are required
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, self-driven, rapidly growing entrepreneurial workplace
  • Ability to work with minimal direction or support and to learn quickly; strong analytical skills; creative and innovative thinking; detail-oriented; commitment to follow-through; enthusiastic with a talent for motivating others; receptive to criticism and open to others' ideas; and effective in written communication.
  • To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder).
  • Ability to maintain or obtain Government Security Clearance. 

What We'd Love:

  • Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Experience with the use of electrical test tools such as multimeters and oscilloscopes as well as familiarity with wiring, soldering and crimping.
  • Prior experience with spacecraft design
  • Experience working on a launch vehicle or satellite development effort
  • Familiarity with modelling and design software such as Altium, LTspice, and Matlab
  • Experience in a startup or agile development environment
  • Passion for the commercial and government space industry
  • Passion for spacecraft or launch vehicle system development
Where You'll Be: 
  • The position is onsite in El Segundo, CA.

ITAR Requirements: 
To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. 1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
