Firmware Engineering Intern

As a firmware engineering intern at an early stage start-up, you’ll be working with a tight-knit, fast paced team on a novel consumer product.  You will have the opportunity to learn about all aspects of consumer product design and manufacture and work on firmware features, tooling, and testing as the team works towards our first launch!  You will work hands-on with hardware and lab equipment as well as embedded C code.

Responsibilities:

• Bring-up, prototype, and validate device components like sensors and actuators
• Implement features and tests to produce well-tested, robust code
• Interface with QA and hardware teams to support engineering validation
• Identify and troubleshoot issues from firmware all the way to the hardware
• Analyze device metrics to improve code structures and algorithms 

Minimum Qualifications:

• Pursuing Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field
• Strong C/C++ programming skills
• Embedded device experience (e.g. arduino, microcontroller, etc.)
• Experience with version control using Git

Preferred Qualifications:

• One or more embedded software domain knowledge, such as:
• Microcontroller architecture like ARM Cortex-M, ESP32 etc.
• RTOS/bare metal programming concepts
• Device driver development
• Communication protocols such as SPI, I2C and UART
• Signal processing and sensor validation
• Wireless connectivity technologies like WiFi/BLE
• Unit test framework such as Unity/CMock/Ceedling
