Electrical Engineering Intern – Spring 2027 | LiquidPiston
Location: Suffield, CT
Department: Internships
Electrical Engineering Intern - Spring 2027
Location: Suffield, CT
Employment Type: Full-time Internship (Spring 2027)
Compensation: Paid
About LiquidPiston
LiquidPiston, Inc. is a fast-growing engine technology company developing a new generation of compact, high-performance propulsion systems. Our patented rotary X-Engine and High Efficiency Hybrid Cycle (HEHC) are designed to deliver greater power density, efficiency, and fuel flexibility than traditional piston engines.
Our technology is being developed for demanding applications including UAVs and drones, defense, aerospace, portable power, and hybrid-electric systems. At LiquidPiston, engineers have the opportunity to work directly on real hardware and see their work move from the lab to a running engine.
Internship Overview
LiquidPiston is seeking a motivated Electrical Engineering Intern to join our Controls & Electronics team for Spring 2027. This is a hands-on opportunity to work alongside experienced engineers on the electrical and control systems that power our next-generation engines.
You’ll gain practical experience across embedded firmware, electronics, sensors, controls, and hardware testing while contributing to active engineering and development programs. Rather than simply observing or supporting from the sidelines, you’ll have the opportunity to troubleshoot real engineering problems, work with test hardware, analyze data, and contribute to solutions that are tested on actual engine systems.
This internship is ideal for an engineering student who enjoys hands-on problem solving and wants exposure to the full development process - from circuit and firmware development through hardware integration, testing, troubleshooting, and iteration.
Key Responsibilities
At LiquidPiston, we challenge convention and solve hard problems. We move fast, think boldly, and iterate quickly. Our team thrives on collaboration, creativity, and resilience. We take calculated risks and believe that every setback is a steppingstone toward breakthrough innovation.
Equal Opportunity Employer
LiquidPiston, Inc. is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment regardless of race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, or veteran status, and will not be discriminated against on the basis of disability.
All offers of employment at LiquidPiston are contingent upon the successful completion of a pre-employment background check, drug screening and credit check.
