Job Description
Summary: Diamond Foundry is seeking a highly motivated engineering intern to support the development, testing, and validation of advanced electrical and electromechanical systems. This role is ideal for a hands-on candidate interested in bridging software, hardware, and real-world lab experimentation while working closely with experienced engineers on high-performance systems involving power electronics, control, and instrumentation.
Responsibilities:
- Develop and maintain test scripts and automation tools using Python and/or C
- Assist in hardware bring-up, debugging, and validation of electrical systems
- Operate and configure lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, power supplies, electronic loads, etc.)
- Support data acquisition, analysis, and visualization
- Participate in prototype assembly, wiring, and bench testing, as well as contribute to troubleshooting of electrical, firmware, or system-level issues
- Document test procedures, results, and engineering findings
Required Qualifications:
- Currently pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
- Basic proficiency in Python and/or C programming
- Familiarity with analog/digital circuits, microcontrollers/embedded systems, and serial communication protocols (UART, SPI, I²C)
- Comfortable working in a lab environment using tools such as oscilloscopes, function generators, and DAQ systems
- Strong problem-solving, attention to detail, and ability to read schematics and debug circuits; exposure to power electronics or control systems is a plus
