Hardware Engineer (Internship)

About the Role:

Join SKEYEBOTS as a Hardware Engineering Intern to design and develop robust hardware for autonomous drone systems. You’ll collaborate with our core engineering team on electronics and robotics projects, contributing to innovative applications in defense, disaster response, and logistics. This hands-on role offers significant ownership in a fast-growing startup environment.

What You’ll Do:

• Design electronics for drone systems, including microcontroller/microprocessor-based solutions.

• Program firmware using Embedded C, Embedded systems, Arduino, or Raspberry Pi platforms.

• Create schematics, PCB layouts, and routing using tools like KiCad or Altium.

• Conduct 3D modeling (SolidWorks/CATIA/Autodesk) and CFD simulations for optimization.

• Prototype hardware with 3D printing and ensure Design for Manufacturability (DFM).

• Support hardware integration, testing for environmental ratings (e.g., IP65), and performance in challenging conditions (e.g., high winds).

• Assist in debugging, profiling, and system validation.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Strong electronics engineering fundamentals and robotics hardware experience.

• Proficiency in Embedded C, microcontroller/microprocessor design, and PCB layout.

• Familiarity with hobby electronics and embedded systems.

• Basic 3D design skills (e.g., SolidWorks).

• Ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment.

• Ability to work onsite (hybrid work culture).

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with drone design/development, ideally with DGCA Remote Pilot Training (RPT) certification.

• Knowledge of CFD simulation for aerodynamic analysis.

• Past projects involving 3D printing, DFM, or field testing.

• Exposure to high-altitude systems or ruggedized hardware.

What You’ll Gain:

• Work with Silicon Valley and India-based industry experts on cutting-edge drone tech.

• Competitive pay and other benefits.

• Hands-on experience in hardware for real-world applications.

• Mentorship from early-stage engineering leaders.

• Opportunity for full-time transition based on performance.

• Contribute to impactful projects with applications in safety and efficiency.
