Trackonomy is hiring an Embedded Firmware Engineer Intern to develop software for our next-generation IoT devices. This is a hands-on engineering role where you'll work directly with hardware, microcontrollers, wireless modules, and sensors, contributing to real systems that ship to customers.
What You'll Do
- Develop firmware for ARM-based microcontrollers
- Write embedded C/C++ drivers for sensors, radios, and peripherals
- Integrate wireless communication modules such as BLE, LoRa, or cellular IoT
- Support hardware bring-up and board-level debugging
- Build test frameworks and automation for firmware validation
- Debug embedded systems using tools such as JTAG, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers
- Optimize power consumption and performance for battery-powered devices
- Contribute to firmware architecture, testing, and code reviews
- Build AI powered tools, automations and dashboards
What We're Looking For
- Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
- Strong programming skills in C or C++
- Coursework or project experience with embedded systems or microcontrollers
- Familiarity with digital communication interfaces such as SPI, I2C, or UART
- Strong debugging and problem-solving skills
- Interest in building real-world hardware and embedded systems
Nice to Have
- Experience working with ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers
- Familiarity with wireless technologies (BLE, LoRa, Wi-Fi, or cellular IoT)
- Experience using debugging tools such as logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, or JTAG debuggers
- Experience building embedded projects, robotics systems, or hardware prototypes
- Familiarity with Python or scripting tools for testing and automation
- Interest in low-power systems and battery-powered devices
Technical Stack
- ARM-based microcontrollers
- C/C++
- BLE
- LoRa
- Cellular IoT
- SPI
- I2C
- UART
- JTAG
- Python
Team & Environment
You will collaborate closely with firmware, hardware, and systems engineers.
You will work directly on real production hardware and firmware, gain exposure to wireless IoT systems deployed at scale, and collaborate with experienced engineers across hardware, firmware, and cloud systems. You'll see how embedded devices integrate into large distributed systems and contribute code that ships to real-world deployments.
Work Mode
This role is onsite in San Jose, CA.
