- Collaborate hands-on with a multidisciplinary team to develop high-volume optical manufacturing capabilities.
What you'll need#
- Currently pursuing or recently completed a BS or graduate degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Computer Science.
- A GPA of 3.5 or greater.
- A portfolio of hands-on projects, such as Formula SAE, SolarCar, Robotics, CubeSats, or other club and personal builds.
- Familiarity with basic signal-integrity concepts and solder-rework skills.
- Strong analytical mindset and the ability to apply first-principles problem solving.
- Demonstrated aptitude in electrical engineering with a multidisciplinary understanding of mechanical and software engineering concepts.
Location & details#
- Location: Gardena, California.
- Modality: On-site.
- Compensation: Paid position ($26.00 - $38.00 per hour, based on academic year) with a flexible monthly housing and transportation stipend.
