Electrical Engineering Internship – Hardware/PCB Design

Magnet Forensics • Atlanta, GA

1d • Hybrid

About The Position

Magnet Forensics is looking for a Hardware Intern to join us for a hands-on, electronics focused internship opportunity. You will work with engineers on schematic design, PCB layout, prototype bring-up, and hardware debugging for embedded electronic systems. The work is hands-on and oriented toward hardware development on real, shipping hardware products.

The ideal candidate would bring us a PCB they designed, explain why they developed it, walk us through the HW + SW design, and tell us how they got it working.

Exceptional candidates would be able to talk about a problem with that circuit board - solved or unsolved - and tell us about how it got fixed (or the plan for debugging it).

WHY Intern for Us/WHAT You Will Gain?
- Experience working on real electronic products;
- Exposure to professional hardware and embedded system development workflows;
- Mentorship from experienced electrical engineers;
- Practical experience in PCB design, debugging, and testing.

NOTE: This Internship follows a hybrid work model; therefore, candidates must be able to commute to the Company Headquarters located in Roswell, Georgia.

NOTE 2: This Internship will take place during the Summer of 2026 and will have a duration of approximately 10-12 weeks.

Requirements

• Currently pursuing a BS in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering
