About the Role

About Wing: 

Wing offers drone delivery as a safe, fast, and sustainable solution for last mile logistics. Consumer appetites for on-demand services are increasing, but current delivery methods are inefficient, costly, and contribute to road accidents and air pollution. Wing’s fleet of highly automated delivery drones can transport small packages directly from businesses to homes on-demand, in minutes. We design, build, and operate our aircraft, and offer drone delivery services on two continents. Our technology is designed to be easy to integrate into existing delivery and logistics networks, offering a scalable drone delivery solution for a broad range of businesses. Wing is a part of Google's parent company, Alphabet, and our mission is to create the preferred means of delivery for the planet. If you're ready to do the greatest work of your life, come join us.

About the Program: 

Join Wing's 12-week paid summer internship! This is a hybrid, in-person program based in Palo Alto, CA, with start dates in May or June. Eligible candidates must be a current student enrolled in a degree program and intend to return to the program after the completion of the summer internship. 

About the Role:

Wing is looking for a Hardware Test Engineer Intern to join our Electrical Engineering based in Palo Alto, CA. 

The position seeks highly-motivated individuals who enjoy working in a highly dynamic team environment. The successful candidate is able to demonstrate a broad understanding of electromagnetics, wireless systems, electrical circuit design, prototyping, and analysis skills based. We’re looking for people who are intrinsically driven to solve hard problems with stunningly simple solutions, move fast, and are highly adaptive. 

You’ll be optimizing cutting edge avionics for compatibility with wireless systems. This will include using hands on benchtop and analysis of flight logs  to identify and debug desense issues. Once desense problems are identified you will be responsible for designing, implementing and verifying hardware solutions. 

What You’ll Need: 

  • Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, or related field, graduating between December 2027 and August 2028
  • Experience in electrical engineering: reading and understanding an electrical schematic, measuring voltage waveforms, soldering, rework, hands-on circuit troubleshooting
  • Working knowledge of hands on electrical test equipment including spectrum analyzers and oscilloscopes
  • Understanding of electromagnetics including capacitance, inductance, coupling and waves
  • Experience with at least one programming language (ex python or matlab) for analysis and data visualization

This is your chance to:

  • Help develop and test cutting edge avionics which includes wireless connectivity, high speed digital processors, camera sensors and more
  • Experience PCB component qualification, bring-up and test
  • Work with advanced wireless test equipment including spectrum analyzers and high speed oscilloscopes
  • Solve real world problems helping ensure the avionics use the best parts, are reliable and manufacturable
  • Gain valuable experience in the drone delivery industry which is evolving rapidly
  • Work cross functionally outside of the electrical engineering team to consider the big picture 
  • Work with a friendly team and senior engineers who are happy to answer questions
