Embedded Engineering Internship

About the Opportunity
A dynamic technical recruiting firm specializing in high-impact engineering placements across Australia, we partner with innovation-driven hardware and IoT companies to source and deploy top-tier embedded systems talent. This internship offers hands-on exposure to real-world firmware development, microcontroller integration, and low-level system debugging—ideal for students or early-career engineers seeking to launch their careers in embedded systems.

Role & Responsibilities

• Assist in developing, testing, and debugging firmware for ARM-based microcontrollers and embedded Linux platforms.
• Write and optimize C/C++ code for real-time applications, memory-constrained environments, and peripheral drivers.
• Collaborate with senior engineers to document code, schematic interfaces, and bring-up procedures for new hardware.
• Use oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG debuggers to validate hardware-software interaction and resolve integration issues.
• Contribute to unit testing, automated builds, and version control workflows using Git and CI/CD pipelines.
• Participate in design reviews and provide feedback to improve firmware reliability and power efficiency.
