ABOUT OCEANUS Oceanus Marine Technologies is building the operating platform for the modern maritime world. Global trade runs on ships, and we’re redefining what’s possible at sea by leveraging modern technology. We’re a small, hands-on team based in El Segundo building full-stack systems that perform in real operating conditions across vessels, ports, and fleets. We focus on practical, deployable technology that brings safety oversight, automation, and coordination to complex maritime environments. Our founding team previously built and operated SpaceX’s Autonomous Spaceport Droneships, which are among the most advanced autonomous maritime systems ever deployed. Today, we work with leading U.S. operators to bring that same rigor and systems thinking to the next generation of maritime infrastructure. ABOUT THE ROLE We’re hiring an Electrical Engineering Intern for the Summer or Fall term. Summer internships begin in June, and Fall internships begin in September, with a preferred commitment of 4 to 8 months. As an Electrical Engineering Intern, you’ll work on initiatives that improve how vessels are powered, instrumented, connected, and operated. You’ll help solve complex engineering problems across electrical design, embedded hardware, power distribution, sensing, and system integration. This role sits at the intersection of electrical engineering, embedded systems, and real-world deployment. You’ll contribute to the design and integration of systems that connect sensors, compute, networking, power, and control infrastructure onboard operational vessels. Our size allows interns to take on meaningful ownership. You’ll work on interdisciplinary projects that move quickly from idea to implementation. Our philosophy is simple: build and test in days or weeks, not months. Because of this, a portfolio or evidence of hands-on building is required to apply. Show us circuits, embedded systems, robotics, hardware projects, competition work, or experiments that reflect strong engineering fundamentals, execution, and curiosity. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES - Contribute to the design, integration, and testing of onboard electrical systems - Support development of power distribution, sensing, networking, and embedded hardware infrastructure - Assist with electrical schematics, wiring layouts, harnessing, and system documentation - Support bring-up, integration, debugging, and validation of deployed hardware systems - Work with sensors, compute hardware, networking equipment, and control interfaces - Participate in structured testing and troubleshooting in lab and field environments - Collaborate closely with software, controls, mechanical, and systems engineers - Help improve system reliability, serviceability, and deployment readiness MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS - Currently pursuing or recently completed a BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics, or a related field - Strong evidence of hands-on building experience (clubs, personal projects, internships, research, competition teams, or equivalent) - Familiarity with electrical systems, embedded hardware, or electromechanical systems - Comfortable working close to hardware, debugging real systems, and getting hands-on with physical integration - Ability to move quickly, make progress with incomplete information, and take ownership PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE - Familiarity with sensors, power electronics, low-voltage electrical systems, or hardware interfaces - Experience with wiring, harnessing, connectors, or hardware bring-up - Familiarity with circuit or device level communication protocols (CAN, UART, SPI, I2C, TCP/IP, UDP, Modbus, etc.) - Experience with embedded systems or microcontrollers - Experience with robotics, automotive, aerospace, industrial systems, or hardware startups - Interest in maritime systems, autonomy, embedded systems, or heavy industry - Experien
