The Role
Minimum Requirements
What You'll Do
At moss.ag, we build robots to go where humans won't, digitizing the physical outdoor world to make it machine-readable. Starting with tree farms — where a single field holds millions of plants no human has ever fully inventoried. 🌲🤯🌳
We’re a small team of practical engineers with a long-term vision. We focus on real, messy, on-the-ground problems today, while working toward a future where autonomous field robots make harsh outdoor jobs easier and safer.
If our mission aligns with how you work and think, we’d love to learn more about you!
Join us as an Electrical Engineering Intern on a fast-moving team of seven. In this high-ownership role, you'll own the design and development of our next-generation sensor systems, from PCB design and circuit architecture to integrating autonomous vehicle hardware like LiDARs, cameras, GPS, and IMUs into production-ready sensor kits deployed to paying customers worldwide.
Work across the full hardware development cycle: prototyping new designs, bringing up and debugging circuits, writing firmware, collaborating with mechanical engineering on enclosures and mounting solutions, managing component sourcing and manufacturing partnerships, and field testing hardware with customers in real-world deployments.
We're looking for both a full time founding engineer, and intern candidates for co-ops, summer, and/or part-time roles.
- Impressive real-world projects beyond the classroom
- Strong systems architecture capability (able to define full electrical stack from power input to compute and sensors)
- Deep PCB design experience (schematics, high-speed routing, power integrity, grounding strategy)
- Experience designing power systems (DC-DC regulation, battery integration, power budgeting, protection, EMI considerations)
- Experience with high-speed and mixed-signal design (USB, Ethernet, MIPI/CSI, CAN, UART, SPI, I2C)
- Comfortable making first-principles engineering trade-offs, even with partial information
- Firmware proficiency (C/C++) for board bring-up, microcontrollers, and peripheral integration
- Strong experience integrating autonomous system hardware (LiDAR, cameras, GPS, IMUs, Jetson or similar compute platforms)
- Experience working with manufacturers (DFM reviews, contract manufacturers, sourcing, production test strategy)
- Own electrical architecture decisions, component selection, and PCB layout
- Design and iterate on sensor integrated systems from concept to production
- Collaborate with mechanical, perception and robotics teams to optimize hardware-software integration
- Manage relationships with manufacturing partners and component suppliers
- Lead design reviews internally and externally with suppliers and partners

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
