ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING INTERN (SUMMER 2027)
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.
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.
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!
Responsibilities:
- Assist in the rapid design, development, and testing of reliable electronics and PCBs
- Support circuit modeling and simulation to analyze performance and validate designs
- Contribute to electrical architecture efforts including schematic capture, component selection, prototyping, bring-up, debugging, and documentation
- Participate in hands-on debugging using lab equipment, custom instrumentation, and test setups
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support product development, integration, and testing across mechanical and software systems
Basic Qualifications:
- Currently enrolled in a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or computer engineering from an ABET accredited university or college
- Hands on electrical experience from internships or engineering clubs such as FSAE, Baja SAE, solar car, rocket club, robotics club, or similar
- Well-versed in electrical engineering fundamentals and comfortable taking a first-principles approach to solving problems
Nice to Have:
- Advanced degree (Master's, PhD) in electrical engineering
- Familiarity with industrial automation technologies, robotics, spacecraft avionics, or similar high-performance electromechanical system
