What is a Rust embedded internship?

A Rust Embedded Internship is a temporary position designed for students or early-career professionals to gain hands-on experience working with embedded systems using the Rust programming language. Interns typically work on projects involving hardware-software integration, firmware development, and low-level programming. The internship provides an opportunity to apply Rust's safety and concurrency features to real-world embedded challenges, often in industries like IoT, robotics, or automotive. Participants learn from experienced engineers, contribute to production or open-source projects, and develop valuable skills for a career in embedded development.

What types of projects or tasks can I expect to work on during a Rust embedded internship?

As a Rust Embedded Intern, you'll typically be involved in hands-on projects such as developing firmware for microcontrollers, writing device drivers in Rust, and contributing to open-source embedded libraries. You'll collaborate closely with hardware engineers and senior embedded developers, often participating in code reviews and debugging sessions. Expect to work with real-world hardware, utilize tools like oscilloscopes or logic analyzers, and contribute to documentation. The internship offers a great opportunity to learn industry-standard development workflows and best practices for writing safe, efficient embedded code in Rust.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Rust embedded intern, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Rust Embedded Intern, you need a foundational understanding of embedded systems, programming skills in Rust and C/C++, and familiarity with microcontrollers or hardware interfaces. Experience with tools like cargo, debuggers (e.g., GDB), and version control systems (e.g., Git), as well as coursework or certifications in embedded programming, are highly beneficial. Strong problem-solving skills, eagerness to learn, and effective communication help interns adapt quickly and contribute to team projects. These skills are crucial for developing reliable, efficient firmware and contributing meaningfully to embedded software development teams.

What is the difference between Rust Embedded Internship vs Embedded Software Engineer?

AspectRust Embedded InternshipEmbedded Software Engineer
Required CredentialsBasic programming knowledge, coursework in embedded systems, familiarity with RustDegree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field; experience with embedded C/Rust
Work EnvironmentInternship setting, collaborative teams, hands-on hardware projectsFull-time role, development teams, hardware and software integration
Industry UsageStartups, tech companies experimenting with Rust for embedded systemsManufacturers, IoT companies, automotive, aerospace

The Rust Embedded Internship is an entry-level position designed for students or recent graduates to gain experience with Rust in embedded systems. In contrast, an Embedded Software Engineer is a full-time professional role requiring more experience and responsibilities. Both roles involve working with embedded hardware, but the internship offers a learning environment, while the engineer position focuses on development and deployment.

Job description

Your Impact

Contribute to AIoT Device-level Firmware Infrastructure as part of the Platform Firmware development team and advance Axon's mission to Protect Life. Platform Firmware supports all of Axon's Camera-based products, key ownership of the Cellular LTE Link, Automated Test Systems for organizational Engineering Excellence, and is always at the fore-front of Innovation with Hardware Engineering for new programs. Firmware development environments primarily include Embedded Linux (C, C++, Golang, Yocto) and RTOS on Microcontrollers (C/C++). Rust is being explored. Solve very challenging Firmware problems while applying Data Structure and Object Oriented thinking to build infrastructure APIs used by Axon's Embedded Product teams.
This role will enable you to elevate your skills to the next level. As an intern, you will have regular 1:1s with your mentor, an experienced engineer on your team. You will get career advice through regular meetings with your manager, who is accountable for developing the careers of their reports. As part of your internship, you'll get visibility by presenting your ideas, vision, and accomplishments to executive leadership.

Work Location
This role is based out of our Seattle or Boston office and follows a hybrid schedule. We rely on in-person collaboration and ask that team members work onsite Tuesdays through Fridays, with the flexibility to work remotely on Mondays, unless there is an approved workplace accommodation.

What You'll Do

  • Firmware Design and Development of AIoT infrastructure for career-defining new programs that synthesize all Axon technologies in addition to current and next-gen Camera-related products and their accessories
  • Support Development of Firmware for eLinux-based System-on-Chips (SoC) and System-on-Modules (SoM)
  • Support Development of Firmware for Microcontrollers
  • Support Development of Firmware for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth BLE, Sub-GHz, Cellular LTE & 5G, and related RF technologies
  • Support Development of Firmware for Battery and Power Management sub-systems with a critical eye towards Safety and Thermal Performance
  • Develop Unit, Integration and Automated Tests and Test Equipment as part of the development process
  • Support Electrical Engineering with Board Bring-up and Hardware Debugging Support
  • Collaborate with distributed teams such as other Firmware Teams, Embedded Product Teams (i.e., Business Logic), Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing and Compliance 
  • Collaborate with System-on-Chip (SoC) and Cellular Modem vendors to optimize for AIoT use-cases and key performance parameters
  • Drive Engineering Excellence and adopt a test and metrics-first mindset
  • Be a Team Player, Mentor, Strong Communicator and be ready and willing to support the Team when needed

What You Bring

  • Pursuing graduation in a Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field at a community college, university, or bootcamp
