Hardware Intern

AccuWeather is seeking a Hardware Intern to support the Hardware Manager in building, programming, and deploying sensors for the AccuLightning Network™ (ALN) – one of the world's only global lightning detection networks. The Hardware Intern will also help support the expansion of AccuWeather’s growing portfolio of subscription-based weather and alerting hardware products.

This hands-on, technical role is suited to someone who likes working with electronics and wants exposure to a live commercial hardware operation, from assembly through customer deployment.

The ideal candidate is a curious, hands-on problem-solver studying engineering or a related technical field, comfortable working with hardware and eager to learn how operating a commercial lightning sensor network works from end to end. Meteorology background isn't required, but is a plus for someone drawn to the Weather Enterprise. Above all, we're looking for someone with a positive attitude, strong work ethic, and genuine interest in growing their technical skills in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
