What is an acoustics intern?

An Internship Acoustics Intern assists in studying sound and vibration in various environments, focusing on data collection, analysis, and testing. They may work on projects related to noise control, architectural acoustics, or audio engineering. Responsibilities often include using specialized software, conducting measurements, and supporting senior acoustics engineers. This role provides hands-on experience in applying acoustical principles to real-world problems. It is ideal for students or recent graduates pursuing careers in acoustics or related fields.

What does an acoustics intern do?

As an Acoustics Intern, you can expect to assist with tasks such as setting up and conducting sound measurements, analyzing acoustic data, supporting simulation and modeling efforts, and preparing technical reports or presentations. You'll often collaborate with experienced engineers and participate in group meetings to discuss findings and progress. Depending on the company, you may also have the opportunity to contribute to ongoing research, product development, or real-world noise control projects. This hands-on experience provides valuable exposure to industry-standard practices and helps you develop both technical and teamwork skills.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an acoustics intern?

To thrive as an Internship Acoustics Intern, a solid background in physics, mathematics, and engineering principles, often supported by enrollment in or completion of a related bachelor's program, is essential. Familiarity with acoustic measurement tools, simulation software such as MATLAB or EASE, and basic data analysis techniques is typically required. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help interns collaborate and learn within multidisciplinary teams. These abilities are crucial for accurately collecting data, generating insights, and contributing to acoustic projects in professional environments.

Job description

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.
About Us
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.
Requirements
  • Actively enrolled in an academic program, not a recent graduate
  • Full-time, on-site commitment for a minimum of 12 weeks
  • Majoring in EE / CompE / MechE (or related)
  • Strong fundamentals (data structures / algorithms or circuits / digital / embedded or controls / mechanical design)
  • Proficiency in at least one of: C, C++, or Python; comfort with Git and writing unit tests
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills
  • Due to export-controlled work, candidates must be U.S. persons (U.S. citizen, U.S. permanent resident, or protected individual under 8 U.S.C. § 1324b)
What Will Put You Ahead
  • Substantial projects (repo or short write-up)
  • Understanding of machine learning / signal processing fundamentals
  • Comfort with linear algebra
  • Experience with web development (especially TypeScript / Vue)
  • Experience with ROV / AUV hardware / software / control (e.g. ROS2)
  • Experience with CAD / 3D printing
  • Familiarity with lab equipment (e.g. oscilloscopes, probes, debuggers)
  • Familiarity with device interfaces (e.g. Ethernet, CAN, I²C, SPI)
  • Familiarity with embedded development (e.g. bootloaders, device trees, drivers, RTOS)
  • Familiarity with Operating Systems concepts (e.g. schedulers, mutexes, virtual memory)
  • Experience with FPGA / RTL (e.g. SystemVerilog, UVM, cocotb)

Benefits
  • Close mentorship and training
  • End-to-end ownership of a scoped, impactful project
  • End-of-internship demo day
  • Paid vacation
Compensation
The pay range for this position is $35 - $55 per hour. Actual pay will depend on the candidate's experience and skills demonstrated during interviews and other evaluations.
