Advise me regarding On-site internship

I was approached by a electronics startup founder from hyderabad on linkedin, after seeing my projects. 15-20 people, 4 year old startup, legitimate with existing products.

So the thing is, I am from Goa and my uni's schedule is almost 2 months behind the IIT's (which all companies follow for internships).

They wanted an intern to start immediately, but due to my sem exam schedule they asked me to do part time till july (during exams) and 2 months on-site afterwards. Stipend is ~6k for remote and 15k for on site.

The company's domain isn't strictly in my field of interest but I dont mind it much.

How should I proceed with this? Is this practically feasible to travel and stay alone for internship? What more details should I ask?

Any feedback is appreciated.

Roast my resume, ECE undergrad looking summer interships

I just made this resume and i believe it's a bit too dense, cluttered and not skimable for recruiters. Might need to add bold characters to attract attention.

Any feed backs welcome. Thanks.

Oh No! Not another Flight controller! (F7 FC + 25A ESC stack)

Hello,
I am sorry if you guys are tried of seeing posts about flight controllers.
Anyways, This is a followup post to this ESC board that I made earlier.

All source files and exports (Schematics, pictures...) can be found here: VENDETTAFC

I wanted to create a custom stack for FPV as well as general quad copters.
This post the just about the FC. Schematics only of the FC.
I took the inspiration from the Speedybee F7 V3 and lots of reference materials.

I Focused on adding as much compatibility as possible, the FC supports external DJI air connect unit, GPS, Receiver link, an UART peripheral, buzzer, 4 Leds, and ofc an ESC. It also has an ESP32C3 for wireless data logging, flashing etc.
5 power rails: VESC, +5V, +9V, 3.3V, 3.3VA

6 Layer Board, stackup as follows:
signal
gnd
signal
power plane
gnd
Mixed, signal and power

I do agree the power splitting is kinda bad, but I tried not to route any SPI, I2C traces right above.
The firmware Is still in progress which eventually is supposed to be Betaflight and AM32 for the ESC.

Sorry for a lack luster post but all the details are in the github repo.

Any Feedback is appreciated. Thank You!

Stackup:
VBAT,
GND,
SIGNAL/GND,
8/3.3V POWER,
GND,
SIGNAL
I definitely could have done better on the stackup, a whole plane for 8/3.3V seems wasteful and another VBAT plane would have been nice.
I am worried about thermals as VBAT is only on top layer, implemented via stitching wherever I could.
I am still new to PCB designing, any feedback is appreciated, also working on a F7 FC to pair with it.
