Firmware Engineering Intern
Chewie labs,
Mill is all about answering a simple question: how can we prevent waste? Less waste can save time, money, energy, maybe even our planet. And there’s no better place to start than food. Food waste is one of the most solvable climate problems facing us today. Plus, our trash really stinks. It’s gross, heavy, and our least favorite chore. At Mill we are striving to build a better environment for all, as we take on climate and kitchen change.
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
