Electrical Engineering Intern

At Oshkosh we build serve and protect people and communities around the world by designing and manufacturing some of the toughest specialty trucks and access equipment. We employ over 18000 team members all united by a common purpose. Our engineering and product innovation help keep soldiers and firefighters safe is critical in building and keeping communities clean and helps people do their jobs every day.

As an Electrical Engineering Intern you will gain hands-on engineering experience supporting the design development integration and testing of electrical systems for Oshkosh vehicles and products.

Youll work alongside Electrical Engineers and cross-functional teams to apply what youre learning in the classroom to real engineering challenges. Depending on your project assignment you may gain experience with vehicle electrical systems embedded controls wire harness design electrical schematics component selection prototype builds testing or troubleshooting.

Throughout your internship youll have the opportunity to contribute to meaningful engineering work build your technical skills and see your designs and solutions come to life on real products.

As an Electrical Engineering Intern your responsibilities may include:

• Supporting the design development and integration of vehicle electrical and embedded control systems
• Assisting with electrical system architecture component selection and design activities
• Selecting components with consideration for performance quality reliability cost weight and manufacturability
• Developing wire harness designs using 3D modeling tools such as CATIA or CREO
• Creating and updating electrical schematics using tools such as E3 Series or CREO Schematics
• Supporting circuit analysis and other engineering calculations
• Developing and maintaining bills of materials and engineering documentation
• Supporting prototype pilot and production vehicle builds on the assembly floor
• Troubleshooting electrical systems and providing technical support during vehicle builds and testing
• Participating in testing and validation activities to evaluate electrical system performance
• Collaborating with suppliers customers manufacturing teams and other engineering disciplines to solve technical challenges
• Identifying opportunities to improve electrical designs processes reliability and manufacturability
• Documenting engineering findings design decisions test results and recommendations

• Pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related engineering field
• Interest in vehicle electrical systems embedded systems controls or electrical product development
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Ability to communicate and collaborate effectively with engineering and cross-functional teams
• Willingness to learn new engineering tools technologies and processes
• Willingness to travel or relocate to Oshkosh WI for the duration of the summer internship

Summer housing is available to interns whose permanent address is more than 50 miles from their work location.

Experience coursework or interest in one or more of the following is a plus:

• Vehicle electrical systems
• Embedded systems or controls
• Electrical circuit design and analysis
• Wire harness design
• Electrical schematics
• CATIA or CREO
• E3 Series or CREO Schematics
• CAD or 3D modeling
• CAN or other vehicle communication networks
• Electronics sensors or electronic control units (ECUs)
• Hands-on electrical troubleshooting testing or lab work
• Manufacturing or prototype environments
• Engineering clubs design teams research or hands-on technical projects

Through this internship you will have the opportunity to:

• Apply electrical engineering concepts to real-world vehicle and product development
• Gain hands-on experience with electrical systems components and engineering tools
• Understand how electrical designs move from concept through prototype testing and production
• Work directly with engineers suppliers manufacturing teams and other technical professionals
• Develop troubleshooting problem-solving design and technical communication skills
• Gain exposure to the integration of electrical mechanical software and control systems
• Contribute to meaningful engineering projects with a tangible impact on Oshkosh products

Moving the future forward is our priorityand that includes your future. We encourage professional development and champion our employees success through learning development and hands-on experiences.

Everything we do at Oshkosh is guided by our core values and the team members around the world who embody them:

We put people first. We do the right thing. We persevere. We are better together.
