2026 Fall Engineering Intern

Summary

Gigascale Capital is focused on developing zero-emission power systems for the electrification of commercial vehicles. As an Engineering Intern, you will engage in real engineering work, contributing to live projects and collaborating closely with senior engineers.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to the design, build, and test of components or subsystems within our power systems (mechanical, electrical, controls, battery, manufacturing, or systems engineering — depending on your focus)
• Develop and run experiments to test hypotheses, then turn data into decisions
• Build tools, models, fixtures, or analyses that help the team move faster
• Document your work clearly and present findings to the team
• Take ownership of a defined project and drive it to a measurable result by the end of your term

Skills

• Pursuing a degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical, Materials, Manufacturing, Systems, Material Science, Metallurgy or a related engineering field (or equivalent hands-on experience)
• Curious and rigorous — you ask 'why,' challenge assumptions, and get to the root of a problem before building up
• Comfortable with experimentation and data; you care about data integrity
• Able to take ownership, work independently, and collaborate directly and honestly
• Hands-on project, lab, internship, research, or build-team experience is a plus
