Electrical Engineering Summer 2027 Intern

Helion

Responsibilities

As a Helion Electrical Engineer, you will directly contribute to advancing fusion technology. In this role, you’ll design

both analog and digital electronic circuits, including op-amp, passive and active filter circuits, along with PCB design and validation. You'll also drive the development of next-generation, in-house data acquisition systems and electronic instruments to support our ongoing innovation. This internship offers hands-on experience, solving real-world engineering problems that are important to deploying fusion energy to the world.
Perform qualification and testing plans on new or modified designs
Support senior electrical engineers in design updates and documentation
Fix hardware issues as they arise on integrated fusion generators
Learn from historical engineering approaches, design novel hardware, and test your solutions
Apply both engineering first-principles and method-based thinking to challenging problems

Currently enrolled in a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
GPA of 3.0 or above
Worked with designing analog and digital circuits
Experience applying engineering principles (e.g. making design trades while communicating progress and blockers)

Learn from experts to expand your engineering skillset and domain knowledge

Ability to work full time, onsite in Everett, WA for a minimum of 12 consecutive weeks during summer 2027
Worked with board layout and circuit simulation tools (e.g. KiCAD, LT Spice, Altium)
Ability to safely work with higher voltages, such as building AC or with high voltage (1- 10 KVDC) power supplies, and familiarity with electric and magnetic fields
