Compensation: Paid Internship - $15/hour

Duration: 12-Month Internship

Benefits: No benefits during internship period

Conversion Opportunity: Eligible for permanent employment within 12 months based on performance and company culture metrics


Company Description

Providence Wave Group is redefining how technology empowers families to live, connect, and thrive. We are currently focused on developing an innovative smart home hub designed for older adults (55+) and multigenerational households, emphasizing safety, accessibility, and human-centered living.

Our flagship platform, Betti, is a camera-free, AI-powered smart home hub that integrates safety, health monitoring, accessibility, and intelligent home automation. Alongside our technology, we build media platforms, social impact programs, and strategic partnerships that bridge housing, healthcare, and community services.


Role Overview

We are seeking a Systems Engineer Intern to support the development and early deployment of a smart home platform that is transitioning from MVP into live residential environments. This role is hands-on and requires experience across embedded systems, electrical fundamentals, and software integration. The intern will work closely with a small technical team on hardware that is installed in real homes, not just lab prototypes. 


Key Responsibilities

• Edge, hub, and systems integration using an off-the-shelf hub platform

• Support device, hub, and dashboard event pipelines

• Backend services and API integration 

• Functional front-end dashboard support (UI/UX polish handled separately) 

• Assist with OTA update workflows and system reliability checks 


What This Role is Not 

• Not a pure software role 

• Not a front-end only role

• Not a research only position 

Requirements:

Required Experience 

• Embedded systems or firmware development

• Electrical or computer engineering background 

• Understanding of household power concepts (AC ? DC, low-voltage rails, sensors)

• Ability to work across device, hub, backend, and dashboard layers

• Familiarity with Linux-based systems and APIs


Why This Opportunity

• Work on technology deployed in real residential settings

• Exposure to hardware, software, and system-level decision-making

• Clear ownership with defined technical boundaries 

• Opportunity to grow with the program as it moves into pilot and scales 


This is a paid internship with meaningful technical responsibility and the potential for continued engagement based on performance and program needs.
