The Engineering team develops and delivers innovative technologies that support product performance, reliability, and customer requirements. Within engineering, sensor technologies play a critical role in enabling accurate data collection, system feedback, and product functionality.

This internship supports engineering efforts related to sensor development and release, helping ensure new sensor solutions are tested, documented, and ready for successful deployment.

As a Sensor Intern, you will support engineering activities tied to the release of sensor products or sensor‑integrated systems. This role provides hands‑on experience working with sensors in a real engineering environment, contributing to testing, validation, documentation, and cross‑functional coordination.

This position is ideal for a student interested in sensors, electronics, systems integration, or applied engineering who wants exposure to product release processes from development through launch.

So, what will you be doing as a Sensor Intern?

• Sensor Release Support – Assist engineering teams with activities required to support sensor release, including readiness checks, documentation, and coordination.
• Testing & Validation – Support sensor testing, data collection, and validation to ensure performance meets specifications.
• Data Analysis – Help analyze sensor output data to identify trends, anomalies, or performance issues.
• Documentation & Specifications – Assist with creating and updating technical documentation, test reports, and release materials.
• System Integration Support – Help support integration of sensors into larger systems, products, or prototypes.
• Issue Tracking & Troubleshooting – Support engineers in tracking issues, investigating root causes, and validating corrective actions.
• Cross‑Functional Collaboration – Work with engineering, quality, manufacturing, and product teams to support a successful sensor release.
• Additional duties as assigned.

To be successful in this role, you’ll need:

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, Computer, Mechatronics, or related field).
• Interest in sensors, electronics, or system measurement technologies.
• Basic understanding of engineering principles, testing, or data analysis.
• Strong attention to detail and problem‑solving skills.
• Ability to work collaboratively in a technical, hands‑on environment.

Things we consider a plus:

• Coursework or experience with sensors, instrumentation, or data acquisition systems.
• Familiarity with test equipment, diagrams, or technical documentation.
• Exposure to product development or release processes.
• Interest in a long‑term engineering or product development career path.
