About the role
- Do you love tinkering with mechanical and electrical devices and watching your code come to life?
- Does writing safety-critical low-level software intrigue you?
- Do you see your projects through from start to finish, regardless of what you're working on?
Responsibilities
- Embedded interns own a variety of big problems integral to our system! Examples of previous projects included:
- Building an RF radio test setup to validate antenna performance of the flight compute at the production end-of-line.
- Responsibilities include owning the entire system-from RF signal injection, testing, and validation, to developing manufacturing software test suites, integrating with Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL), and leveraging simulation to model and measure worst-case scenarios.
- Develop firmware for a real-time coprocessor that manages high-frequency signals and I/O expansion for the Linux camera subsystem. Own the overall system design, contribute to board design revisions, and validate signal integrity, jitter, and clock alignment.
- Building a high data rate voltage and current telemetry system that runs continuously in our RTOS using ADCs, I2C devices and GPIO interrupts.
- Testing this feature rigorously, deploying it to production globally, building data analysis tools to verify that the feature is working properly, and using this data to root-cause tricky failures to improve the reliability of our systems.
- You've designed, built and/or deployed electromechanical systems or robots, inside or outside the classroom.
- Design and develop a software platform for the new P2 Zip and the world's cutest Droid delivery and dock system
- Develop safe software architecture that will be deployed across the world
- Develop perception solutions for any weather and any real world environment
Requirements
- Pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or Computer Engineering.
- Must have at least completed the second year of your Undergraduate studies.
- You are comfortable receiving feedback so that you can learn to write code that is efficient, easy-to-read, well-tested, has friendly APIs, and incurs minimal technical debt.
