Intern Embedded Systems Jobs in Hobart, IN (NOW HIRING)

Join OceanComm's engineering team and help build undersea drones, intelligent sensors, and other cutting-edge undersea technology. This is a hands-on role for students in electrical and computer engineering, mechanical engineering, or related technical programs who want real experience at the intersection of acoustics, signal processing, machine learning, embedded systems, and robotics. You can pick a primary area while still having room to cross over. We'll match projects to your skills and curiosity. You'll work closely with experienced engineers, receive training, and contribute to products used in defense, offshore energy, and oceanographic research. Many of our past interns have gone on to join OceanComm full-time. Strong performers will be considered for a full-time role after graduation.

Underwater, the wireless transfer of a single picture used to take an hour. We brought to market wireless modems that transfer data 100 to 1,000 times faster. Legacy modems were basically status/command links; our modems can control undersea drones with live video feedback, a game changer for exploring the underwater world. Because radio waves attenuate quickly underwater, our modems use sound waves to communicate. Leading organizations in defense, offshore energy and oceanographic research rely on OceanComm to keep their undersea drones connected.
