Electrical Engineering Intern

About the company General Matter enriches uranium. We are designing, building, and operating the world’s lowest-cost enrichment services, here in the US. In the process, we are restoring America’s ability to produce nuclear fuel to power AI, advanced manufacturing and critical industries our country relies on to remain competitive. Fuel drives the cost of advanced reactor electricity production, and enrichment drives the cost of the fuel that advanced reactors consume. Reliable, low-cost enrichment is the catalyst for the nuclear Renaissance now under way. Our mission is to make nuclear not only the cleanest and safest source of baseload power, but also the most affordable. We believe abundant nuclear energy will lead to a post-scarcity society. We were incubated inside Founders Fund, like Anduril and Palantir before us, and are backed by over a dozen of the world's top venture capital firms. Our lean, world-class team of engineers and operators is applying a first-principles approach to solving the problem of nuclear fuel production. We are a mission-driven company with a culture of urgency, accountability, and transparency. Help us build a high-energy society by making the cleanest, safest form of baseload energy the most affordable. About This Role As a General Matter Electrical Engineering Intern, you will help build the electrical systems at the heart of a new generation of enrichment technology. You will get hands-on experience across sensors and actuators, power electronics, controls, and safety-critical firmware, contributing to real hardware designed for one of the most demanding engineering environments. You will take meaningful ownership of technical work while learning directly from experienced engineers across multiple disciplines. You will have the opportunity to follow your designs from early concepts and circuit boards through bring-up, testing, manufacturing, and deployment. You will learn quickly by building, testing, debugging, and improving real systems, and leave with a deeper understanding of how ambitious hardware goes from an idea to something that works in the field. Responsibilities Assist in the design and development of highly reliable electrical systems and components for General Matter's enrichment technology. Work cross functionally to conduct systems trades, requirements capture, component selection, analysis, schematic capture, prototyping, bring-up, debugging, design documentation, manufacturing planning, and production test for electrical designs. Create development and qualification testing campaigns to exercise designs to their limits and ensure reliable enrichment hardware. Work with experts from other teams and departments to ensure that fielded systems perform their intended function while being efficient, manufacturable, and reliable; challenge assumptions and build strong professional relationships. Basic Qualifications Current undergraduate or graduate student pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or similar discipline. Strong understanding of one or more of the following: electrical systems architecture, circuit design, PCBA layout, and/or harness design. General knowledge of electrical/ECAD software tools, such as Altium, Cadence, or similar. Collaborative team member who thrives in fast-paced, multidisciplinary environments and is eager to learn Strong understanding of engineering fundamentals. Additional Requirements Ability to work extended hours and weekends as necessary.
