Primary Job Title: Electronics Engineering Intern

Location: On-site — Australia

About the Opportunity

Ace Talent Recruitment is hiring an Electronics Engineering Intern to join an engineering team focused on hardware prototyping, testing, and product development. This role is ideal for a technically curious engineering student who wants practical experience with PCB assembly, lab test equipment, and real-world troubleshooting in a structured workplace.

Role & Responsibilities

• Assemble, solder, and prototype PCBs (SMD & THT) under engineer supervision; support build iterations.


• Execute test plans using oscilloscope, multimeter, power supplies and logic analyzers; capture and document results.


• Assist with schematic updates, BOM maintenance and basic PCB layout tasks in Altium or Eagle.


• Collect, analyse and present experimental data; create concise test reports and defect logs for engineers.


• Troubleshoot circuit faults, perform root-cause analysis and propose corrective actions for prototypes.


• Maintain lab equipment, enforce safety procedures and manage component inventory for prototyping runs.

Skills & Qualifications

Must-Have

• Enrolled in a Bachelor’s/Master’s program in Electrical, Electronics, Mechatronics, or related engineering degree.


• Hands-on experience with soldering, multimeter and oscilloscope; comfortable with basic circuit analysis.


• Available to work on-site in Australia and able to commit to the internship period.

Preferred

• Familiarity with Altium Designer or Eagle for schematic/BOM updates and basic PCB edits.


• Experience with embedded C or microcontroller projects (ARM/AVR/ESP families).


• Previous internship or academic project work involving prototyping, testing, or lab-based R&D.

Benefits & Culture Highlights

• Structured, hands-on mentorship and exposure to real product development workflows.


• Work in a modern lab environment with industry-standard test equipment and experienced engineers.


• Clear pathway to additional project work and potential transition to full-time engineering roles.
