Job Description

We’re looking for a Computer Engineering Intern to support both our R&D and Sustaining Engineering teams. You’ll work on embedded firmware development in C, electronics troubleshooting, and test development across prototype systems and existing products in the field. This is a hands-on role that collaborates closely with electrical, firmware, software, and lab teams.

What You’ll Do

  • Develop, debug, and maintain embedded C firmware for MCU-based systems (Microchip, NXP, STM32-class devices)
  • Support product sustaining work: investigate issues, reproduce failures, implement fixes, and verify changes
  • Bring-up and troubleshoot hardware using lab tools (DMM, oscilloscope, logic analyzer)
  • Execute test plans, capture data, and clearly document results / root cause
  • Write and maintain Python test scripts/tools (bench automation, data logging, analysis)
  • Assist with test fixtures, work instructions, and repeatable lab processes
  • (Optional/Bonus) Use Altium Designer to review schematics/PCB layouts or assist with small edits

What We’re Looking For (Minimum Qualifications)

  • Current student pursuing BS/MS in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related
  • Experience programming in C (coursework, projects, clubs, internships)
  • Basic understanding of electronics (voltage/current, common components, reading schematics)
  • Comfortable working in a lab environment and learning hands-on debugging
  • Able to communicate clearly and document work (notes, test results, change summaries)

Nice-to-Haves

  • Experience with MCU peripherals and interfaces (I2C/SPI/UART/CAN)
  • Familiarity with interrupts, timers, DMA, low-power modes, or memory-constrained development
  • Exposure to RTOS concepts (tasks, queues, synchronization)
  • Git/source control and basic dev workflow (branches, PRs)
  • Altium exposure
  • Instrument/automation tooling (serial, USB instruments, SCPI)

What You’ll Gain

  • Real-world embedded development across new development + sustaining support
  • Mentorship from a multidisciplinary engineering group
  • Practical debugging skills across firmware + electronics
  • Experience building test tools that improve development speed and product quality
