Electrical Engineering Intern
About the role
Internship role working with hardware team on drone electronics, PCB design, bring-up, bench testing, and field testing for autonomous modular drones.
Responsibilities
- Design PCBs end-to-end on focused subsystems: sensor breakouts, power boards, test boards, and bring-up tools.
- Own schematic capture and multi-layer layout under the guidance of senior engineers.
- Bring up, debug, and validate boards on the bench — scopes, logic analysers, signal generators, the works.
- Solder, rework, and assemble prototype boards with your own hands.
- Build test rigs and validation jigs that catch problems before they hit the airframe.
- Support integration of new electronics into our drones and ground station hardware.
- Participate in schematic, layout, and BOM reviews — both as the engineer being reviewed and learning to review others.
- Use AI tools to accelerate design, firmware, and debug.
- Get out of the workshop and into the field with us for flight tests.
Qualifications
- Currently studying Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
- A solid grasp of analog, digital, and power electronics fundamentals.
- Hands-on PCB design experience in Altium or KiCad — coursework, side projects, hackathons, or personal builds all count.
- Comfortable with EE lab equipment: oscilloscope, multimeter, signal generator, bench supply, soldering iron.
- Some scripting in Python or C.
- A portfolio of personal projects, builds, or coursework that proves you actually like making things.
- Comfortable getting outside and testing in the real world with us.
Skills
Benefits
- Snack of choice stocked in the workshop.
About Seeing Systems
Modular AI-Commanded Drones for Defence
We're building inexpensive, autonomous strike drones designed to stay operationally relevant as warfare evolves. By combining true hardware modularity with an agentic control system that lowers cognitive load on operators, we enable faster upgrades, broader adoption, and more than 2x reduction in lifecycle cost. Our customers and partners include the UK Royal Marine Commandos, several other units in the UK, and 4 other NATO forces, and we are currently shipping prototypes for iterative feedback. Think of us as Anduril, but with worse weather, and better banter.
