Embedded Systems & IoT Intern
About the Role
Support development, testing and integration of embedded controllers, sensors, communications and IoT-connected product features. You will work with microcontrollers, read datasheets, perform connectivity tests, validate sensor readings and support device-to-cloud integration.
What You May Work On
* The final project, toolset and responsibility level depend on the candidate's capability, the approved internship plan, project availability, risk, access requirements and available supervision.
- Work with microcontrollers, sensors and connected-device systems.
- Support firmware updates and controlled feature development.
- Read wiring diagrams, pin mappings, datasheets and interface specifications.
- Perform communication, connectivity and data-acquisition tests.
- Validate sensor readings, device status and telemetry.
- Support device-to-cloud or device-to-fog integration.
- Assist with debugging hardware-software interaction problems.
- Prepare test procedures, results and handover information.
Roles & Responsibilities
- Understand the assigned problem before beginning implementation.
- Follow the approved project scope, architecture, safety requirements and confidentiality rules.
- Communicate blockers, risks and delays early.
