Electrical Engineering Internship - Summer 2025

Company Description

Icarus is at the forefront of aerospace innovation, developing solar-powered stratospheric drones designed to enhance global connectivity and observation. Operating at altitudes 20 times closer to Earth than Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, our drones deliver superior 5G direct-to-device communication and ultra-high-resolution imagery. With the capability to remain airborne for up to a year through autonomous solar-powered operations, Icarus offers continuous, cost-effective solutions that surpass traditional cell towers and satellite systems.

 

Role Description

We are seeking highly motivated Electrical Engineering Interns for Summer 2025 to work on cutting-edge aerospace and advanced electrical systems. This internship provides hands-on experience in designing, testing, and integrating electrical and avionics components for aircraft, satellites, and other aerospace applications. Interns will collaborate with experienced engineers on real-world projects, gaining invaluable industry experience.
