Electrical Engineer Intern - Summer 2021

Job Description
White Fox Scooters is the first docked electric scooter solution for walkable cities and micro-communities. Our docks have been initially deployed and hosted through partnerships with local governments as well as local businesses such as hotels, parking garages, and apartment buildings. We’re taking the electric scooter sharing model to the streets of New Jersey (as well as all other walkable cities) since we truly believe it is the most fun and efficient way to get around. We’ve already set up exclusive partnerships with select locations that will be giving us space for our docks. We disrupt the electric scooter sharing industry in a key way: we place a strong emphasis on public safety. It is dangerous to pedestrians for scooters to obstruct the sidewalks. Our docks keep the scooters out of the path of pedestrians, and allow us to share helmets with our riders. The company is led by our founder, Sidd Saxena, who has had prior experience in technology investment banking, ran multiple profitable businesses, and leads the YPO YNG Initiative in New York City.
