What does an Embedded Software Engineer Intern do?

An Embedded Software Engineer Intern assists in designing, developing, and testing software that runs on hardware devices such as microcontrollers, sensors, and other embedded systems. Their work often involves programming in languages like C or C++, debugging code, and collaborating with hardware engineers to ensure seamless integration. Interns may also help with documentation, code reviews, and troubleshooting issues that arise in embedded applications.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Embedded Software Engineer Intern, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Embedded Software Engineer Intern, you need a solid understanding of C/C++ programming, basic knowledge of embedded systems, and progress toward a relevant degree such as Electrical Engineering or Computer Science. Familiarity with microcontroller architectures, debugging tools (such as JTAG/ICE), and version control systems like Git is typically expected. Strong problem-solving abilities, willingness to learn, and effective teamwork distinguish top candidates in this role. These skills and qualities are crucial for developing reliable embedded solutions and collaborating efficiently within multidisciplinary engineering teams.

What types of projects and technologies can an Embedded Software Engineer Intern expect to work on during their internship?

As an Embedded Software Engineer Intern, you will typically work on projects involving the design, coding, and testing of software that runs on microcontrollers or embedded systems. You may assist in developing firmware for hardware devices, debugging real-time systems, and collaborating closely with hardware engineers to ensure seamless integration of software and hardware. Expect to gain hands-on experience with programming languages like C or C++, and tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and version control systems. These projects not only build your technical skills but also provide insight into the end-to-end product development cycle.

Job description

As a Senior Embedded Software Engineer, you will own critical subsystems within our embedded stack, and your architectural decisions will shape the product. You'll bridge hardware and high-level applications across Embedded Linux, RTOS (Zephyr/FreeRTOS), and bare-metal environments - and you'll be the technical point of contact for product, hardware, cloud, and safety teams when those subsystems intersect. 

What You'll Do

  • Own Critical Subsystems: Architect and implement C/C++ software for safety-critical embedded systems where reliability is non-negotiable. Your decisions will influence the product's long-term architecture.
  • Drive Platform Architecture: Architect Embedded Linux user-space applications and real-time firmware for FreeRTOS/Zephyr devices. Design for failure modes, future scale, and platform reuse - not just the current product.
  • Own Safety Compliance: Own the safety compliance posture of your subsystem. Partner with the safety team to embed IEC 61508 rigor into design and code without slowing development velocity.
  • Architect CI/CD: Architect and evolve our GitLab CI/CD pipelines for firmware. Set the bar for automated testing, deterministic builds, and release confidence.
  • Hardware Bring-Up & Debugging: Lead bring-up of new hardware. Diagnose complex bugs across the hardware/software boundary using JTAG, GDB, logic analyzers, and oscilloscopes.
  • Cross-Team Influence: Serve as the primary technical point of contact for product, QE, hardware, and cloud teams on subsystem design, integration, and trade-offs.

What You Bring

  • Experience: 6+ years of hands-on embedded software development, including 2+ years working on safety-critical or regulated products.
  • Core Languages: Expert proficiency in C and C++, including modern C++ patterns and safe memory management at scale.
  • OS Depth: Deep experience with Embedded Linux (including BSP and low-level architecture) and proficiency with at least one RTOS (Zephyr or FreeRTOS).
  • Low-Level Linux: Working knowledge of Board Support Packages (BSP) and device drivers - you've debugged below the kernel boundary, not just above it.
  • Connectivity: Strong fluency with IP networking and standard interfaces (UART, SPI, I2C, USB, CAN).
  • Tooling: Proficient with Python for scripting/automation. Experience architecting CI/CD workflows for firmware (GitLab preferred).
  • Debugging: Expert with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG, and GDB. You can localize hard bugs across the hardware/software boundary independently.
  • Safety & Quality: Experience working under or implementing functional safety standards (IEC 61508, ISO 26262, DO-178C, or equivalent).
  • Education: B.S. in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience.

Bonus Points

  • Experience with wireless stacks (BLE, ISM, Wi-Fi).
  • Background in regulated industries (Medical, Automotive, Aerospace, Industrial).
  • Contributions to open-source embedded or RTOS projects.

How You'll Show Up - The FORT Blueprint at this Level

  • Accomplish the Impossible: You proactively automate manual toil and find creative paths through ambiguous architectural problems.
  • Own Your Priorities: You're accountable for project milestones and the long-term health of your subsystem - not just the next ticket.
  • Think Out Loud: You lead architectural design reviews and communicate complex trade-offs clearly to engineers and non-engineers alike.
  • Build Together: You run retrospectives and post-mortems, mentor more junior engineers, and align technical goals across hardware, firmware, SIT, and cloud teams.
