Job Description:

Location: Chattanooga, Tennessee

Position Type: Part-Time (Immediate Start) transitioning to Full-Time Summer Internship, with potential for ongoing work

About Us

We're a newly acquired turbine engine company pushing the boundaries of innovation in engine design. Our team is hard at work modifying and modernizing our systems, and we're looking for a motivated Electrical Engineering Intern to join us on this exciting journey. If you're ready to dive into real-world engineering challenges, work with cutting-edge technology, and hear the roar of jet fuel igniting on our test stand, this is your chance!

The Opportunity

We're updating a 20-year-old controller for our turbine engines, and we need a sharp, hands-on intern to assist with the electrical engineering side of this redesign. You'll work directly with our team, starting with the existing controller, programs, and test rigs as a foundation. In just three weeks, we plan to fire up our prototype board on the test stand-making loud noises and burning jet fuel-so there's no time to waste! This role offers immediate part-time work, transitioning to a full-time summer internship, with the potential for ongoing contributions as we refine and enhance the design.

What You'll Do
  • Collaborate on updating and modernizing an embedded controller system for turbine engines.
  • Assist in troubleshooting, testing, and integrating the prototype controller using existing test rigs.
  • Contribute to light programming tasks to support new features and improvements.
  • Help design and implement additional functionalities as we evolve toward the final product.
  • Get hands-on experience with real hardware, from circuit boards to roaring engines.

What We're Looking For
  • Current enrollment in an Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related program.
  • Interest or experience in embedded systems and light programming (e.g., C, C++, or similar).
  • Enthusiasm for hands-on work with hardware and a willingness to learn on the fly.
  • Availability to start part-time immediately (flexible hours) and commit to a full-time summer internship.
  • A passion for engines, innovation, or loud noises is a big plus!

What You'll Gain
  • Practical experience with embedded systems, controller design, and turbine engine technology.
  • Exposure to a fast-paced, real-world engineering project from prototype to production.
  • The chance to see (and hear!) your work come to life on our test stand.
  • Mentorship from an experienced team and the opportunity for long-term involvement.
