Pitch Aeronautics Inc. Undergraduate Robotics/Mechanical/Electrical Engineering Internship Boise, ID · Part time

Apply for Undergraduate Robotics/Mechanical/Electrical Engineering Internship

Pitch Aeronautics (www.pitchaero.com) is a rapidly growing startup creating game-changing solutions for the utility industry. Pitch has developed a drone to install our line sensor, bird diverters, and other equipment on power lines. Our drone-deployable line sensors wirelessly transmit environmental and line characteristics to an online secure API to help utilities push more power through existing lines, prevent wildfires, and improve grid reliability. At Pitch we’ve fostered a collaborative, fun, “get-stuff-done” working environment. We believe in moving fast and creating products and prototypes rapidly. If you’re looking for a place where you can make a difference on day one, be empowered to achieve, and love working in small teams, we want to meet you!

Pitch has developed a drone to install our line sensor, bird diverters, and other equipment on power lines. Our drone-deployable line sensors wirelessly transmit environmental and line characteristics to our WireWeather cloud software to help utilities push more power through existing lines, prevent wildfires, and improve grid reliability. Our drone-deployable FeatherFender bird diverters help birds see and avoid collisions with power lines. We're looking for motivated undergraduate interns to assist on ongoing research and development project.

We have a pending project with the National Science Foundation which is focused on using the drone for advanced robotic tasks on power lines (bolting components to conductors, removing sensors from lines, etc). If awarded, this role will spend time working on this exciting project.
