If you are searching for the best new ideas and share our vision, join us as a Systems Engineering Summer Intern. This is what you need to know:

Location: Knoxville, TN or Madison, WI

Salary: $25-$30/hour, 40 hours per week

Reporting to: Sr. Systems Engineer

Your role in the mission:

The Systems Engineering Intern will support the Systems Engineering team on a variety of projects that contribute to the development, documentation, and implementation of systems engineering processes and practices. This internship provides an opportunity to gain hands‑on experience with systems engineering tools, requirements, architecture, and day‑to‑day engineering activities.

The intern may support one or more systems or projects depending on current business and engineering needs. This role is well suited for a student interested in learning how complex engineering systems are defined, organized, documented, and managed throughout their lifecycle.

Key responsibilities could include:

• Support work in Cameo Systems Modeler on system requirements, functions, interfaces, and architecture.
• Assist with documenting and improving Systems Engineering processes, procedures, and workflows.
• Develop or enhance onboarding and training materials for Systems Engineering tools, practices, and processes.
• Provide day‑to‑day engineering support for an assigned system, subsystem, or project.
• Work with engineers and other technical stakeholders to gather and organize information needed to support systems engineering activities.
• Participate in team meetings, project discussions, and other activities to gain exposure to the broader engineering organization.

What you'll need:

• Currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in any engineering discipline or a master's degree in Systems Engineering or Industrial Engineering.
  Rising juniors, seniors, graduates, and graduate students are encouraged to apply.
• Interest in systems engineering, requirements management, system architecture, engineering processes, or complex technical systems.
• Ability to communicate technical information clearly through written documentation and presentations.
• Ability to work collaboratively with engineers and cross-functional team members.
• Willingness to learn new engineering tools, processes, and technical concepts.

Type One Energy applies proven advanced manufacturing methods, modern computational physics and high-field superconducting magnets to develop its optimized stellarator fusion energy system. Our Fusion Direct development program pursues the lowest-risk, shortest-schedule path to a fusion power plant over the coming decade, using a partner-intensive and capital-efficient strategy.

Type One Energy is committed to community engagement in the development and deployment of its clean energy technology. For more information, visit  or follow us on Linked In.
