As an Engineering Intern, you will get to work on problem solving on a daily basis. As an example: sometimes that will be in the shop soldering connectors, and sometimes that will be on the computer designing custom BOS enclosures, but everyday will be a little bit different. Day-to-day, the role will vary depending on what projects are going on at the time. Projects range from small solar “suitcase” kits to self deploying robotic tents to high voltage 30kW solar systems to anything in between. Interns should be willing and able to do quality work both in the shop and on the computer.
