In this role, you'll help build and validate next-generation oscilloscope capabilities-from Qt-based UI experiences to high-performance embedded processing. You'll collaborate with experienced hardware and software engineers in an environment that emphasizes hands-on learning, mentorship, and technical growth.
You will be paired with a dedicated engineering mentor and contribute to real product development work, including prototyping, performance evaluation, test automation, and instrument validation.
What You'll Do
  • Support software development and validation for next-generation oscilloscope and test & measurement platforms
  • Investigate technical risk areas, run performance experiments, and share results that inform architecture decisions
  • Prototype and implement algorithms or platform enhancements; validate solutions on real instruments
  • Develop test plans, automate workflows, and strengthen CI dashboards/regression health
  • Collaborate across disciplines to bridge firmware, UI, and system performance
  • Contribute to a scoped co-op project and present results at the end of the term to engineering stakeholders

Learning & Development
  • During the term, you will gain experience in:
  • Product software lifecycle (requirements → design → implementation → verification → release)
  • Embedded and instrument-focused debugging and performance profiling
  • Test strategy development, automation practices, and CI/CD workflows
  • Effective technical communication (documentation, presentations, design reviews)
  • Working within a cross-functional engineering environment

Required Qualifications
  • Enrolled in a Bachelor's degree program in Computer Engineering (preferred), Electrical Engineering, or Computer Science and eligible/accepted for the MECOP program (2026)
  • Strong C/C++ fundamentals (OOP, memory management, multithreading concepts)
  • Comfort working hands-on with real instruments/hardware and following safe lab practices
  • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
  • Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly (written and verbal)

Preferred Qualifications
  • Exposure to Qt/QML
  • Embedded/firmware development exposure on Linux and/or Windows
  • Experience with scripting or test automation (Python, JavaScript)
  • Familiarity with Agile/Scrum and tools such as Jira, Git (Bitbucket/GitHub), Jenkins
  • Interest in oscilloscopes and test & measurement technologies

Additional Information
  • Candidates must be able to work full-time for the full 6-month MECOP term (2026).
