Embedded Software Developer Intern information

What is an embedded software developer intern?

Embedded Software Developer Interns are students or recent graduates who work on developing, testing, and maintaining software that runs on hardware devices with dedicated functions, such as microcontrollers, IoT devices, or automotive systems. Their role often involves writing code in languages like C or C++, debugging hardware-software interactions, and collaborating with engineers to ensure the software integrates seamlessly with physical components. This internship provides hands-on experience in embedded systems, offering a valuable foundation for a career in embedded software engineering.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an embedded software developer intern?

To thrive as an Embedded Software Developer Intern, you need a solid understanding of programming languages like C/C++, basic electronics, and computer architecture, often supported by coursework or projects in embedded systems. Familiarity with development tools such as debuggers, version control systems (e.g., Git), and microcontroller platforms (like Arduino or STM32) is typically expected. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective teamwork set standout candidates apart. These skills enable interns to contribute to reliable, efficient embedded solutions and collaborate successfully within engineering teams.

What types of projects and technologies can I expect to work with as an embedded software developer intern?

As an Embedded Software Developer Intern, you’ll typically work on projects involving low-level programming for microcontrollers, firmware development, and device driver implementation. You may use languages like C or C++ and collaborate closely with hardware engineers to test and debug embedded systems. Interns often participate in code reviews, hardware-software integration, and documentation, gaining exposure to real-time operating systems and industry-standard development environments. This hands-on experience provides a strong foundation for future roles in embedded systems design and development.

What is the difference between Embedded Software Developer Intern vs Firmware Engineer Intern?

AspectEmbedded Software Developer InternFirmware Engineer Intern
Required CredentialsTypically pursuing or holding a degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related fieldsSimilar educational background, often with focus on embedded systems or firmware development
Work EnvironmentHands-on development in embedded systems, microcontrollers, and real-time operating systemsDevelopment and testing of low-level firmware for hardware devices
Industry UsageUsed across consumer electronics, automotive, IoT, and industrial automationCommonly found in consumer electronics, aerospace, and medical devices industries

Both roles involve working with embedded systems and require similar educational backgrounds. The main difference lies in focus: Embedded Software Developer Interns typically work on higher-level software integration, while Firmware Engineer Interns focus on low-level firmware development for hardware devices.

Job description

Job Title: Embedded Software Engineer

Real-time embedded software

Location: Northridge, CA

Position Overview

Synovix is seeking two experienced Embedded Software Engineers to support an on-site missile and weapon -systems program for a defense customer in Northridge, California. The engineers will design, implement, integrate, and verify real-time embedded software across the development lifecycle.

What You Will Do
  • Design, develop, integrate, and test real-time embedded software for safety- and mission-critical weapon system applications.
  • Translate system and software requirements into maintainable software architecture, detailed designs, code, and verification evidence.
  • Develop primarily in C and C++ using the Green Hills development environment or a comparable embedded toolchain.
  • Integrate software with processors, sensors, actuators, interfaces, and laboratory test assets.
  • Diagnose timing, memory, concurrency, interface, and hardware/software integration issues on target hardware.
  • Support peer reviews, configuration management, defect resolution, and test readiness; guide architecture decisions, mentor engineers, and coordinate with systems, GNC, algorithms, modeling, test, and hardware teams.
Required Qualifications
  • At least 8 years of relevant embedded software engineering experience.
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, software engineering, or a closely related technical discipline.
  • Demonstrated C and/or C++ development experience in a real-time or resource-constrained embedded environment.
  • Experience with the complete software lifecycle: requirements, design, implementation, integration, verification, and problem resolution.
  • Experience debugging software on target hardware using standard embedded development and laboratory tools.
  • Ability to work full-time on site in Northridge, California.
  • U.S. citizenship and eligibility to obtain a U.S. government security clearance if required by the program; an active clearance is not required at hire.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Missile, weapon system, avionics, flight control, seeker, or other aerospace/defense embedded software experience.
  • Green Hills MULTI, INTEGRITY RTOS, VxWorks, embedded Linux, or comparable RTOS/toolchain experience.
  • Experience with device drivers, board support packages, low-level interfaces, middleware, or hardware abstraction layers.
  • Familiarity with deterministic scheduling, interprocess communication, data buses, networking protocols, and performance optimization.
  • Experience with model-based development, software-in-the-loop, processor-in-the-loop, or hardware-in-the-loop test environments.
