We aim to be the world's essential source for environmental insights - enabling decisive action and positive outcomes for our customers and their constituents. Our family of innovators offers world-class hydrometeorological technologies and services, including sensors, dataloggers, telemetry, and advanced analytics and software. Our technology and services empower the communities and organizations to survive - and thrive - in the face of escalating environmental risks.  

This is a hands-on engineering internship for a student who wants to work on real manufacturing problems, not training exercises. You will report to the Director of Hardware Engineering, contributing directly to projects that improve how we build, test, and analyze the performance of our products.

The work sits at the intersection of electronics manufacturing, test systems, and data analysis - with a forward-looking emphasis on how AI tools are changing the way engineers diagnose and solve production problems. This internship is structured as a pipeline to a full-time Manufacturing or Test Engineering role for candidates who perform well.

Job Responsibilities: 

• Integrating production test equipment with our manufacturing data platform to enable real-time yield tracking and test analytics.
• Using AI-assisted tools to accelerate root cause analysis on test failures and recurring production defects.
• Supporting test fixture setup, qualification, and maintenance alongside the Manufacturing Engineering team.
• Analyzing test and production data to identify yield loss contributors and support structured improvement projects.
• Contributing to process documentation, work instructions, and engineering change implementation.
