C++ (Programming Language) Computer Engineering Software Debugging Linux Embedded Software Firmware Hardware Interface Design Python (Programming Language) Signal Processing Software Engineering Information Technology

Job description

  • Work with your mentor to implement and test bare-metal drivers for I²C, SPI, ADC, DMA, and other interfaces
  • Assist in node bring-up from power-on to firmware load, capturing boot logs and helping debug hardware-software interactions in the lab
  • Gain experience designing and implementing algorithms for link optimization and per-unit calibration in C++ and Python
  • Come up with new software-enabled ways to automatically validate device operation and production processes

Requirements

  • Pursuing or recently completed a BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field with a GPA of 3.5 or greater
  • Portfolio of hands-on projects with a hardware element: embedded firmware, robotics, signal-processing, etc. for Formula SAE, SolarCar, Robotics, CubeSats, or other club/personal builds. Portfolios of software-only projects will not be considered.
  • Exposure to I²C, SPI, ADC sampling, or similar protocols, and a curiosity for low-level hardware interfaces
  • Proficient in Python and C or C++ and comfort working in a Linux environment
  • Strong analytical mindset, first-principles problem solving, and clear communication

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

  • Your projects demonstrate not just software engineering aptitude but also multidisciplinary knowledge of electrical engineering and mechanical engineering concepts
