What is the difference between Internship Embedded Hardware vs Embedded Hardware Engineer?

AspectInternship Embedded HardwareEmbedded Hardware Engineer
CredentialsTypically pursuing or recently completed relevant degreeBachelor's or higher in Electrical/Electronic Engineering
Work EnvironmentTraining-focused, entry-level projectsFull-time professional role, project development
Industry UsageInternship programs in tech, automotive, consumer electronicsDesign, develop, and test embedded hardware systems

The main difference is that an Internship Embedded Hardware is a temporary, learning-focused position for students or recent graduates, while an Embedded Hardware Engineer is a full-time professional responsible for designing and developing embedded hardware systems. Internships provide hands-on experience, whereas engineers apply their skills to real-world projects in a professional setting.

Job description

Itron is innovating new ways for utilities and cities to manage energy and water. We create a more resourceful world to protect essential resources for today and tomorrow. Join us.
We're seeking a motivated intern who is excited to learn and contribute in the areas of hardware security and embedded systems. This internship is a hands-on, lab-based learning and evaluation program focused on hardware-level analysis, firmware interaction, and embedded device security validation. You'll work collaboratively with a Hardware Security team in a technology environment supporting solutions used in the Utilities & Energy sector, where reliability, safety, and customer trust are essential.
Duration: Part-time (20 hours/week) for approximately 3 months, with potential for extension and possible full-time conversion based on performance and business need.
Duties & Responsibilities
  • Work hands-on with embedded devices in a lab setting to support customer-centric security outcomes for products and systems used in Utilities & Energy environments.
  • Interact with microcontroller-based systems using common hardware debugging interfaces such as JTAG, SWD, and UART, with an authentic learning mindset and attention to detail.
  • Analyze embedded communication interfaces (e.g., SPI, I2C, UART) to better understand system behavior, data flow, and potential security considerations.
  • Assist with firmware workflows including extraction, flashing, and low-level debugging to support agile iteration and reproducible lab practices.
  • Support hardware-assisted testing and validation activities, documenting steps and outcomes so results are clear, accountable, and shareable across the team.
  • Contribute to firmware analysis and security assessment, including basic static and dynamic analysis to help identify vulnerabilities, insecure coding patterns, and potential attack surfaces.
  • Participate in hardware security testing (e.g., evaluating device interfaces and physical attack surfaces) using practical lab techniques aligned to responsible testing standards.
  • Support validation of secure boot and hardware root of trust concepts, helping ensure solutions are resilient and trustworthy for customers.
  • Assist with threat modeling activities for embedded devices, collaborating with teammates to capture risks, assumptions, and recommended mitigations.
  • Document findings and remediation recommendations in a clear, inclusive, and actionable format, contributing to innovative improvements and continuous learning.

Required Skills & Experience
  • Currently enrolled in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related program with an embedded and/or hardware focus (or equivalent academic experience).
  • Foundational understanding of microcontrollers and embedded systems concepts.
  • Familiarity with C/C++ programming and basic software engineering practices.
  • Interest in firmware, hardware interaction, and low-level system behavior, with a curiosity-driven approach to learning.
  • Comfort working with lab equipment and hands-on setups, including careful handling and safe lab practices.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and collaboration skills, with a commitment to being accountable, agile, and supportive of team goals.
  • Ability to communicate progress and findings clearly (written and verbal) in a way that supports shared understanding and customer-focused outcomes.

Preferred Skills & Experience
  • Experience (coursework, projects, labs, or internships) with debugging interfaces such as JTAG, SWD, and UART.
  • Exposure to embedded development or firmware-based projects (academic, personal, or community).
  • Familiarity with firmware analysis concepts and/or secure coding practices.
  • Experience using lab tools such as logic analyzers and oscilloscopes.
  • Basic understanding of cybersecurity principles, particularly as they relate to embedded devices and product security.
  • Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively across disciplines and contribute ideas that improve processes or outcomes (innovative, team-oriented mindset).
