Responsibilities
You'll have your own projects but we haven't been saving an "intern project" - you'll be a full member of our team, and like with our other engineers, we'll work with you to find projects that align with your goals and interests and the team's and company's priorities
Prototyping new versions of our battery charging electronics to meet harsher environmental requirements in new countries where we're launching our service
Architecting ground support electronics to assist the air vehicle with take-off and landing

Root cause investigation for our products from test, flight, or field issues

You've collaborated on the above two things as part of a group - school club, competition team, as part of a job/internship, or just with friends
