Electrical Engineer Intern - Stem Fair

Red Cat Holdings is a drone technology company focused on manufacturing unmanned aerial systems for defense, public safety, and government security organizations. The Electrical Engineer Intern will gain hands-on experience supporting the design, simulation, testing, and documentation of eVTOL drone electrical systems, including RF, power, embedded controls, PCB layout, and battery management systems.

What you'll do:

• Assist with schematics, layout, and bring-up support for ongoing projects
• Support the design, simulation, or debugging of RF front ends under engineer guidance
• Help with power tree analysis and basic power integrity concepts
• Gain exposure to motor control fundamentals (BLDC/PMSM, FOC or trapezoidal control)
• Assist with embedded C/C++ firmware tasks for real-time control, drivers, or diagnostics
• Support PCB layout work, learning constraints around signal integrity, power integrity, and RF considerations
• Help plan or execute test campaigns using lab equipment (oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, VNA, etc.)
• Gain exposure to Battery Management System (BMS) concepts — cell balancing, protection, thermal management
• Contribute to documentation such as design notes or test reports
• Collaborate with mechanical, firmware, and manufacturing teams on design discussions

What they're looking for:

• • Currently pursuing a BS or MS in Electrical Engineering or a related field
• • Coursework or project experience in at least one of: RF, BMS, PCB layout, power systems, embedded systems, or motor control
• • Comfortable with (or eager to learn) test equipment like multimeters, oscilloscopes, or signal generators
• • Exposure to tools such as Altium, MATLAB/Python, or SPICE through coursework or personal projects
• • Strong communication skills and ability to explain technical thinking clearly
• • Genuine curiosity about hardware and how electrical systems come together in real products
• • Ability to lift and carry up to 25 pounds
• • Ability to stand, walk, and move between lab, office, and manufacturing environments for extended periods
• • Manual dexterity for handling tools, components, and test equipment
• • Comfortable working in environments that may involve vibration, noise, or temperature variations related to testing
• • Ability to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) when required
• • Interest in antenna design, RF testing, or link budgets

Benefits:

• Generous annual equity package
• Potential bonuses
• Mentorship built in
