Electrical Engineering Intern

Location: Torrance, California, United States Department: Avionics

At Mantari Industries, we’re replacing yesterday’s public sector weather systems with a full stack, AI-native platform that senses, models, and predicts Earth’s atmosphere and oceans in near real time. Our mission is to sense Earth in its entirety — oceans, skies, and space — and close the gap between what nature does and what humanity knows. By building a distributed network of sensors fused with breakthrough AI, Mantari transforms raw environmental signals into actionable intelligence so that the world’s most critical outcomes, from global trade and securing grids to defending nations, are guided not by uncertainty, but by foresight. Our autonomous edge sensing fleets, deep learning forecast models, and integrated customer decision engines will create the most precise weather intelligence on the planet—empowering industry, strengthening climate resilience, providing vital intelligence to American warfighters, and opening billion-dollar markets that don’t exist yet.

Backed by premier venture capital and led by engineers and scientists who’ve landed rockets and pioneered novel AI forecast techniques, we move fast, own the hard problems end to end, and measure success in real world impact. If you want to build frontier tech with outsized consequences, welcome aboard.

About This Role

Summer internships will range between the months of May and August. All dates dependent upon the university schedule of the selected students. Internships are full-time and on-site in Los Angeles, CA.

The Mantari Electrical Engineering Internship provides an opportunity to work on next-generation sensor electronics and integrated platform systems, contributing directly to products deployed in defense and weather applications. Interns will join a fast-paced team environment, collaborating on circuit design, board bring-up, and test efforts for both prototype and production hardware.

As a lean, early-stage team, every contributor has a meaningful impact, and that includes our interns. You'll take on real ownership of projects, work directly alongside senior engineers, and see your contributions shape products that are actively being delivered to customers. Internships at Mantari are optimal for students looking to grow technically and professionally while working on high-impact projects in a startup environment. We're dedicated to providing an experience that will let your decisions and contributions help drive Mantari's success

Key Responsibilities

Contribute to the design and development of sensor electronics, including schematic capture and PCB layout for field-deployable platforms

Support test campaign planning and execution, including test fixture design, board bring-up, and data analysis

Create schematics, PCB layouts, and perform basic electrical analysis (signal integrity, power budgets, etc.)

Participate in design reviews and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to meet electrical and integration requirements

Perform hands-on soldering, wire harnessing, or support board assembly and rework when needed

Support field test operations, including electronics integration, deployment, and on-site troubleshooting

Basic Qualifications

Junior or Senior academic standing

Currently enrolled in a bachelor’s degree program in Engineering, Physics, or related technical field

Strong understanding of core engineering concepts, with completed coursework in:

Circuit Analysis

Electronics

Signals and Systems

Experience using engineering tools such as EDA tools (e.g., Altium, KiCad), MATLAB, and/or oscilloscopes/lab instruments

Strong written and verbal communication skills and ability to thrive in a team-oriented environment

Bonus Qualifications

Previous internship or co-op experience in a technical role

Experience with PCB assembly, soldering, or wire harnessing

Demonstrated success in technical extracurriculars (e.g., Rocket Club, Formula SAE, etc.)

Projects You May Work On

Intern projects will be tailored to company needs and student skillsets closer to the start date. Example projects include:

Sensor interface and signal conditioning circuit design

PCB design and board bring-up for radar and weather sensor systems

Electrical test fixture development and validation support

Embedded firmware prototyping and integration support

Power system design and thermal management for field-deployable sensor platforms

Weather shapes every decision made on Earth. At Mantari you’ll write code that moves metal, launch sensors that tame storms, and see your work ship in weeks—not years. Join us to build the world’s first private full-stack weather platform and leave your fingerprints on infrastructure that will outlast us all. Apply now—let’s create the future of weather, together.
