Electrical Engineering Intern

Employer description

At Oshkosh, we build, serve and protect people and communities around the world by designing and manufacturing some of the toughest specialty trucks and access equipment. We employ over 18,000 team members all united by a common purpose. Our engineering and product innovation help keep soldiers and firefighters safe, is critical in building and keeping communities clean and helps people do their jobs every day.

THE ROLEAs an Electrical Engineering Intern, you will gain hands-on engineering experience supporting the design, development, integration, and testing of electrical systems for Oshkosh vehicles and products.

You’ll work alongside Electrical Engineers and cross-functional teams to apply what you’re learning in the classroom to real engineering challenges. Depending on your project assignment, you may gain experience with vehicle electrical systems, embedded controls, wire harness design, electrical schematics, component selection, prototype builds, testing, or troubleshooting.

Throughout your internship, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to meaningful engineering work, build your technical skills, and see your designs and solutions come to life on real products.

YOUR IMPACTAs an Electrical Engineering Intern, your responsibilities may include:

Supporting the design, development, and integration of vehicle electrical and embedded control systemsAssisting with electrical system architecture, component selection, and design activitiesSelecting components with consideration for performance, quality, reliability, cost, weight, and manufacturabilityDeveloping wire harness designs using 3D modeling tools such as CATIA or CREOCreating and updating electrical schematics using tools such as E3 Series or CREO SchematicsSupporting circuit analysis and other engineering calculationsDeveloping and maintaining bills of materials and engineering documentationSupporting prototype, pilot, and production vehicle builds on the assembly floorTroubleshooting electrical systems and providing technical support during vehicle builds and testingParticipating in testing and validation activities to evaluate electrical system performanceCollaborating with suppliers, customers, manufacturing teams, and other engineering disciplines to solve technical challengesIdentifying opportunities to improve electrical designs, processes, reliability, and manufacturabilityDocumenting engineering findings, design decisions, test results, and recommendationsMINIMUM QUALIFICATIONSPursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related engineering fieldInterest in vehicle electrical systems, embedded systems, controls, or electrical product developmentStrong analytical and problem-solving skillsAbility to communicate and collaborate effectively with engineering and cross-functional teamsWillingness to learn new engineering tools, technologies, and processesWillingness to travel or relocate to Oshkosh, WI for the duration of the summer internshipSummer housing is available to interns whose permanent address is more than 50 miles from their work location.
