Electrical Engineering Internship - Summer 2027

Experience with control system software such as LabVIEW, PLCs, or similar automation platforms.

Knowledge of electrical and mechanical engineering principles.

Experience with control system analysis, design, or industrial communication protocols is a plus.

Working knowledge of electrical engineering, controls engineering, instrumentation, or related engineering principles acquired through academic coursework, laboratory experience, research projects, or prior internship experience.

Basic understanding of electrical circuits, sensors, instrumentation, data acquisition, and automated control systems.

Familiarity with industrial control systems, PLCs, LabVIEW, embedded systems, or similar automation technologies is desirable.

Kairos Power is offering an exciting opportunity for students to join our Electrical Engineering team as an intern for Summer 2027.

This internship provides a unique, hands-on experience supporting the design, implementation, testing, commissioning, and operation of instrumentation and control systems for our test reactor.

Interns will contribute to the development of the Kairos Power Fluoride Salt-Cooled High Temperature Reactor (KP-FHR) while working alongside multidisciplinary engineering teams on measurement instrumentation, automated digital control systems, and process automation technologies.

Assist in the design, implementation, testing, commissioning, and operation of instrumentation and control systems supporting the Kairos Power test reactor.

Support development, integration, and maintenance of measurement instrumentation and automated digital process control systems.

Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to ensure effective integration of electrical, instrumentation, and control systems.
