<h2 id="Senior-Mechanical-Engineer" data-renderer-start-pos="9649">ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING INTERN (SUMMER 2027)</h2> <p class="x_MsoNormal"><span data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">Freeform builds AI-native manufacturing systems that unify software, hardware, and physics to produce industrial-scale parts at the speed of human ideation. By treating manufacturing as a single integrated system, we unlock a new era of innovation where complex hardware is designed, built, and scaled without limits.</span></p> <p><span data-contrast="none">As an Electrical Engineering Intern at Freeform, you’ll contribute to the design and development of custom electronics that power our autonomous metal 3D printing factories. You’ll work with a talented engineering team from some of the world’s most innovative companies across a range of projects to support electrical system design, PCB development, and integration efforts across the company. This role offers hands-on exposure to solving real-world challenges in controls, sensing, and hardware-software integration. You’ll be encouraged to take a first-principles approach to problem solving and explore new areas within electrical engineering - even those you may not have worked on before. The ideal candidate is curious, collaborative, and excited to work across disciplines to help bring complex systems to life.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"335559738":240,"335559739":240}"> </span></p> <p><span data-contrast="none">3D printing experience is not required to be successful here - rather we look for smart, motivated, collaborative engineers who love solving hard problems and creating amazing technology!</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"335559738":240,"335559739":240}"> </span></p> <p><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"335559738":240,"335559739":240}"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FeB-xBymjf4?si=9_wmo21HNDTmDXK1" width="560" height="315"></iframe></span></p> <p><strong><span data-contrast="none">Responsibilities:</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"335559738":240,"335559739":240}"> </span></p> <ul> <li><span data-contrast="none">Assist in the rapid design, development, and testing of reliable electronics and PCBs </span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"335559738":0,"335559739":0}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="none">Support circuit modeling and simulation to analyze performance and validate designs </span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"335559738":0,"335559739":0}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="none">Contribute to electrical architecture efforts including schematic capture, component selection, prototyping, bring-up, debugging, and documentation </span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"335559738":0,"335559739":0}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="none">Participate in hands-on debugging using lab equipment, custom instrumentation, and test setups </span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"335559738":0,"335559739":0}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="none">Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support product development, integration, and testing across mechanical and software systems</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"335559738":0,"335559739":0}"> </span></li> </ul> <p><strong><span data-contrast="none">Basic Qualifications:</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"335559738":240,"335559739":240}"> </span></p> <ul> <li><span data-contrast="none">Currently enrolled in a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or computer engineering from an ABET accredited university or college</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"335559738":0,"335559739":0}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="none">Hands on electrical experience from internships or engineering clubs such as FSAE, Baja SAE, solar car, rocket club, robotics club, or similar</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"335559738":0,"335559739":0}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="none">Well-versed in electrical engineering fundamentals and comfortable taking a first-principles approach to solving problems</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"335559738":0,"335559739":0}"> </span></li> </ul> <p><strong><span data-contrast="none">Nice to Have:</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"335559738":240,"335559739":240}"> </span></p> <ul> <li><span data-contrast="none">Advanced degree (Master's, PhD) in electrical engineering</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"201341983":0,"335551550":1,"335551620":1,"335559737":0,"335559738":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":279}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="none">Familiarity with industrial automation technologies, robotics, spacecraft avionics, or similar high-performance electromechanical system</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"335559738":0,"335559739":0}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="none">Experience with sensors, embedded microcontroller design and firmware, and FPGA hardware and software development</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"335559738":0,"335559739":0}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="none">Experience with high-speed data acquisition systems, high-accuracy motion systems, high-speed scanning systems, or similar camera/telemetry-based control systems</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"335559738":0,"335559739":0}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="none">Comfortable working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and iterating quickly (comfortable buil
