Hardware Design Engineer Intern

Do you want to design the physical hardware that measures and controls the world’s most critical industrial processes? Emerson’s Process Systems and Solutions business develops automation products that power the energy and manufacturing industries. We are seeking a Hardware Design Intern (Summer 2027) who is passionate about electrical and mechanical engineering and excited to gain hands-on experience in a collaborative, innovative environment based in either our Round Rock, TX or Austin, TX office.

You will join one of our hardware design teams that build the controllers, I/O, and field devices behind DeltaV, our flagship distributed process control system used by leading chemical, life sciences, and energy companies around the world. Working alongside experienced engineers and mentors, you will take on a summer project drawn from our real backlog. Potential project opportunities include PCB schematic capture, component placement, and board layout, FPGA design and verification, circuit simulation and analysis, or mechanical design work such as enclosures, thermal management, and manufacturability improvements.

No prior industrial automation experience is required. If you enjoy designing and building things and want to see your work become hardware installed in plants around the world, we will teach you the rest. Many of our engineers joined us straight out of school from a general electrical or mechanical engineering background, and this internship is designed to be a great first exposure to professional product design.

In This Role, Your Responsibilities Will Include

• Partner with electrical and mechanical engineers and your mentor on a summer

project that contributes to the hardware behind DeltaV controllers, I/O, and field devices.

• Contribute to schematic capture, component placement, and PCB layout, from

initial concept through a design ready to be built.

• Support mechanical design work such as enclosures, mounting, and thermal

managem
