Embedded Systems / Firmware Engineering Intern

Job Description Summary

The Embedded Systems / Firmware Engineering Intern will work closely with our engineering team to support low-level software development, operating system components, and communication protocol implementation. This role is ideal for individuals who are passionate about embedded systems, real-time operating environments, and hands-on technical problem-solving.

Job Description

Key Responsibilities

· Assist in developing and debugging low-level software components.

· Contribute to firmware development using C, C++, or Python.

· Support tasks involving Operating Systems, including FreeRTOS or similar RTOS environments.

· Work on low-level drivers, hardware abstraction layers, and peripheral interfaces.

· Participate in implementing or testing communication stacks and protocols

· Collaborate with engineers to document designs, test results, and improvements.

· Engage in design discussions, code reviews, and technical meetings

Required Skills.

· Strong interest or foundational knowledge in Operating Systems or Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS)

· Programming experience in C, C++, or Python.

· Understanding of low-level concepts such as memory, interrupts, and hardware interfaces.

· Analytical and problem-solving mindset.

· Ability to work collaboratively and communicate clearly.

Nice to Have

· Experience with FreeRTOS or other embedded RTOS platforms.

· Exposure to communication protocols (e.g., UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, TCP/IP, Modbus)

· Familiarity with microcontrollers, embedded toolchains, or debugging tools (JTAG, logic analyzers, etc.)

· Knowledge of embedded Linux or driver development.

Education

· Finished a degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.

Visa & Work Authorization

· No visa sponsorship is available for this position. Candidates must already have valid authorization to work in the country for the full duration of the internship.

What You’ll Gain

· Hands-on experience with embedded systems and real-time software.

· Exposure to low-level driver development and communication protocols.

· Mentorship from experienced firmware and systems engineers.

· Opportunities to grow technical depth in operating systems and embedded development.

If you want, I can also merge both intern specs into a single posting, format them for LinkedIn, or create a more formal HR-style version.
