The Ground System Deployment and Construction Engineering team is seeking a curious, collaborative Electrical Engineering Intern to support the design and deployment of Zipline’s Ground Systems across a variety of sites and applications.
In this role, you’ll gain hands-on experience with commercial and light-industrial electrical distribution as applied to an autonomous drone delivery network. Working alongside experienced engineers, you’ll help with utility coordination, site-level electrical design, structure-level wiring approaches, and technical documentation.
You’ll collaborate with mechanical, structural, electrical, and deployments teams to support real-world projects and contribute to problem-solving as new challenges arise. This internship also offers opportunities to explore new design ideas and assist with improvements to our engineering processes.
What you'd do
- You must have completed the second year of your undergraduate studies, with relevant coursework (e.g., circuits, power systems, construction). Master's and PhD students are also eligible.
- Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and a willingness to ask questions and learn.
- Familiarity with engineering tools or concepts such as CAD/ECAD, electrical modeling, or basic simulation software. (Revit, Bluebeam Revu, AutoCAD, NX)
- Clear written and verbal communication skills, especially when summarizing technical information.
- Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced environment and support a wide range of tasks.
- Curiosity, initiative, and a proactive approach to problem-solving.
- An open mind to help us bring Zipline’s service to new and existing customers!
