About Playing With Fusion

Playing With Fusion was founded by former members of the Iowa State University Solar Car Team. We have a passion for engineering and we design, manufacture, and test our products in-house at our Iowa and Illinois facilities.

This summer we are seeking two engineering interns to support the design and development of high-performance automotive electronic control modules.

Why Intern With Us?

Instead of spending the summer on busywork or testing someone else’s design, you’ll work on real products that ship to customers. We’re a small company, and that means you’ll do real engineering work from day one.

We want people who can design PCBs and who want to write software that will actually end up in customers’ hands. You’ll work directly on products that ship—designing boards, writing embedded code, validating hardware, and seeing your work used in the field.

If you’ve built cool projects (for school or just for fun) and you’re excited about turning ideas into working hardware and software, this is the place to spend your summer.
